Some flattrack bikes used to be configured with a solo saddle behind
the tank for cornering, and a *little* pad (pillion?)on the rear fender
to set your butt on when tucking down on the straightaway.

saddle, on which a woman may ride.

I have ridden quite a few road bikes, but never owned one. Good thing,
too - still alive.

Well, if you ride like a squid, bad things will likely happen.

Or if you dress like a pirate, and ride an over-weight, ill handling
bike after hitting the roadside bars.

If they are smart, pillion riding girlfriends are wearing full pants and
a jacket of tear-resistant leather or fabric, with knee, hip, elbow and
shoulder armor inserts, calf to knee high boots with straps that retain
the boots on the feet, gloves with armor inserts, and a full face
*motorcycle* helmet.[...]
