PILLION COMFORT
. -- ! Pillion riding is becoming jncreas--1 i n gly popular, but unfortunately many motor-cyclists neglect to provide those comforts which would very materially add to the enjoyment of the pillionist. The mere fact that a pillion seat and foot rests are fitted to the machine does no* - necessarily mean that the passenger is bound to be comfortable. A seat and rests are imperative, both from the view of comfort and safety, and for compliance with the motor regulations. The rests should be adjustable and the seat large enough to allow of a change jof position. A good seat is indispens | able. Makeshifts are liable tn work loose, are seldom comfortable, and generally infringe the regulations. Air cushions are considered ideal by many riders as they do not stand quite so high as sprung seats.
