Since the bike was removed from the seat there is no way of knowing if the passenger was riding pillion.
Some bikes are made with a pillion seat which is higher up than the main seat, but a lot of bikes only have a single-level seat, in which case the passenger would have been riding “cozy”, or “friendly” or ????
How many people had to google “pillion” to find out what that meant!!! lol
You and a couple of others.
What the H does “riding pillion” mean??? Might want to explain that for ease of reading and understanding. Or use a better term..

LOL “1. a seat behind the rider of a horse or motorbike etc.
Familiarity information: PILLION used as a noun is very rare.”
“A pillion is a mostly British English term for a secondary pad, cushion, or seat behind the main seat or saddle on a horse, motorcycle, bicycle or moped.”
Pillion as a noun is rare. Used as an adverb, riding pillion is fairly common English language use. Your lack of understanding of the language is your issue – shouldn’t try and make fun of CNS because your vocabulary is limited.
