Default My first time riding w/ passenger
So today I finally decided to let my girlfriend come for a ride. This is only the begining of my second ever riding season and have never had a passenger before. It went pretty well and we did about 50 miles of country twisty roads. I was a little concerned about how bike was responding to her movements. (only 100lbs) everytime we came to a curve she would lean into it so she could see and it was throwing me off my groove in the turns. having to compensate was a bit nerve racking not knowing when it was coming.

Anyone else have this problem or give their first time passengers instructions on what not to do?
