She's a looker.

Also the whole shifting gears and knocking helmets thing is annoying with a new second passenger. I mention to them to keep their head back. I try to shift at the same speeds and ride consistently so that they can quickly adapt and anticipate when I shift.

She did very well - we rode almost 100 miles (less than 5 on the Autobahn), and not once did our helmets "knock".
