The earlier post was related to my experience when I took my Mom to home and had the biggest and the slowest journeys of my life till date. It was hillarious experience and a dreadful one too...hehehehe.
Now comes the turn of my sisters-the ultimate peace loving girls(read it the other way). They are very calm on the bike but never allow me to be.
There are two dimensions to this drive: Me on the driver seat and me as the pillion.
Me as the driver: Mostly the drive consists to the nearby market/Pune central/ Picture hall or sundry trips. From the experience I have learnt the following:
Hold the handles very carefully when they are getting seated. It implies that you have to be very watchful as to when they are going to jump on the seat! You need to be very sharp to guage that.
Dont start the ride untill they say that the ride should commence.
Their seat should be clean before they arrive, else you are ...
Should follow the same road you drive regularly even if you come to know that their is a better shortcut available. (Since they have an agenda of things to look on the road when you are going to the pre determined place- say they have to see Mahalaxmi temple when going through Swargate)
Never shout or abuse to someone who comes accross your bike. This irritates the girl big time.
Dont over speed. Girl friend might like it but not sisters. GFs will compliment and sisters will complain.
Dont expect them to listen to what you say while driving, but be sure to hear everything that they say.
Be very careful while letting them off the vehicle. Shout loud" Dont get down here" or " Get down here" Else you never know as to when they might jump off the vehicle. At that juncture be very sturdy with the balance as they are very careful while getting off the vehicle (read the other way)
Dont expect that they are going to hold some stuff of shopping, since they already have so many things like Purse and a mobile to take care off.
Not the least- dont argue, since you will never win!
I am the pillion:
1. Shut up
Dont move at all.
I am always wrong about the roads.
I shouldnt be there sitting with them!
Should make them feel that girls are better drivers. (Do I agree to this?)
I believe my sisters are not reading this post or else I have some real kicks in the following days.
One of my friend has suggested me to ride with GFs. But unfortunately I dont thave one, but still shall try to write another DP dedicated to GFs as the pillions....
Let me know your thoughts on this one.
Enjoy
