Does anyone know how to stop pillion head butt?

[mick shere]

We have just got back from a trip to Amiens in France (pictures to follow) I was using the cruise control 2 up which works great until disengaging it and bang its slowing down and Ive been head butted..
Any suggestions appreciated

Sometimes i just pull the clutch in and change gear, that way its a smoother disengage, if your using your brake to disengage the cruise control, then your passenger will head but you as theres no throttle, just engine braking.

I thought about being a smart-arse and saying 'leave her at home'...... but the real answer is as per DaveNz....... I also set my cruise to 'activated' before departure and just leave it on - that way I can set a speed (or not) whenever I want (less fiddly that trying to activate and set).

The clutch is the way to go....... you're not even required to think 'disengage' just change down a gear like normal and it's waiting for you to 'resume' previous speed setting or set a new speed.......

cheers guys, wish I'd asked earlier... might have saved marriage, only joking fortunately we dont have blue tooth between helmets, she said its the time she gets peace
Had a natter to a couple of aussies at Amiens who were visiting the battlefields in the area, I asked if they knew a guy called Dave and they said yes! Anyway I gave them that £20 i owe you and they said they would give it to you when they see you

A little birdie tells me there are a couple of Aussie prankster's in Amien's enjoying a beer or two on me . Then again.... there's a lot of 'Dave's' out here, so maybe they were being honest..... .

France eh...... long way from home....... hope they turned on the sunshine for you . just realized I do know two people over there...... my sister and her husband...... small world if it was them you bumped into, and I don't know if either of them know what a KTM is even though I had it parked in their garage last April while the new remote rolla door was being installed in my garage.....

Anyway, looking forward to your pics.

Cheers
