Never!
I have ridden with others in the past and that is okay as long as you have just met them along the way and they are going the same direction. The problems begin when the other bike breaks down and you need to wait. Or a border crossing is hard for you, easy for them. Do you boht use gas at the same rate? Need to eat at the same intervals? No? Well more problems. My partner goes where I go, when I go, and why I go. Sitting on the pillion doesn't offer any other choice. When She needs to stop. We both do. We do't need to worry about the other rider running short on change, needing to see the ruins of the 98th statue of Boongidata 98 miles of the 43rd road for which there is no map. Ride alone, or on the pillion, but no fellow travelers.
