shift smothly if not ur helmets are going to be banging each other. Tell her to put her hands on the gas tank when u come to a stop so she dont slide down and bust ur nuts, just a few im sure someone has more.

Work on hand signals to each other. Everyone has their own. For instance, if you know you're about to speed up, maybe a couple of taps on the outside of their left knee means to hold on.

Be carefull on slow speed turns, your true skills will be tested during them. Also remember your braking is not the same anymore, will take longer to stop and you will extra weight being thrown on your back so more then likely for a beginner you will lock up your elbows and thats a no no. And Tell him to avoid moving much, and to lean with his Hips when ur taking tight turn not with his shoulders ........

Talk with them ahead of time and establish non verbal communication. Hand signals, body taps, etc.

Braking taking twice as long so pay attention.

tell them to stay still period. Let you do the leaning.

remind them not to freak out and grab you too hard or crazy when you accelerate hard or what ever.

remind them they need to pay attention also. My previous girl friend when riding, and we stop at a stop light would shake loose or adjust or something and forget the light is turning green. Now I have to ask "are you ready?" because she didn't realize the light was changing back. I dont want to have to worry is your ok when the light turns green.

you balls will be in jeopardy for the duration of the ride.

remind them it is ok to fart, you can't smell it. They dont need to ask if you can smell that every time they fart

Nothing worse than riding with a girl that has the wiggles or that slides into your seat ! Tank pads should help you from busting your junk.
