I never liked riding pillion so I had my own bikes. The worst pillion ride ever was from London to the Isle of Man perched on a Laverda Jota with a single seat. That little hump at the back behind the rider is an instrument of torture; I had to be helped off when we arrived at Liverpool docks. Numb bum and locked knees.

Like this?
lol, no, that's got a Touring seat on, made for 2 people. The ones that used to have the single 'racing seat' on.
I'll try to find a picture of one circa 1976/7.
Or you can Google it.

That small humped bit behind the rider's seat was as hard as a rock, and totally insufficient for a long journey. It was sculptured all nice and pretty but a dead loss as a pillion seat.
He sold it not long after our trip to the TTs and bought a Honda Gold Wing instead. Bliss.
It was a delightful piece of kit to go on a long journey. But it's size and poor ground clearance made it a bit of a nuisance for using around town. Not that I ever rode it solo - my legs were too short to even touch the ground
So, my sister runs a short story writing competition thing on a website called goodreads, and I told her I'd participate but I have no idea what to write for this prompt
The prompt is:
You have the ability to craft a dream and give it to someone, anyone. What do you create and whom do you give it to
WHAT THE FRICK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS
Arrr! Only th' Devil an' I know th' where'bouts o' me treasure, an' th' one o' us who lives th' longes' should take i' all.
