On a sidenote, I was riding in Spain at Aragon with Troy Corser as my riding coach, he took me on the back of his bike as a passenger and rode pretty damn quickly with me on the back (wheelies, sliding the rear etc). At the end he laughed at my profanities that he could hear me shouting from the back but also said I was a good passenger, "like a little backpack"
