Default 2Up Advice

Yesterday, I finally got my wife some gear. Scorpian (SP?) Helmet, Joe Rocket jacket, leather boots, and gloves. After it cooled off around 7pm we went over to the parking lot where the MSF course is held and practiced riding 2up for the first time. She was ok, she's been a passanger before, but I was terrified. I began to get a little more comfortable after about 15 minutes of doing the MSF course exercises. We then did a few laps around base. Couple more sessions like that and we'll probably be ready to take some trips. Gotta say, it is a completely different experience.

Anyway does anybody have any advice, like some specific exercises to try? Or just keep at it untill the comfort level increases?
