stopping with passenger...different or same?
What do the rest of you do when riding with a passenger on board? I usually slow with both brakes, then extend legs, come to a stop using the front brake. Is this the right way to stop? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Where some of you come up with some of these questions is beyond me.

Braking with a "female" passenger 101
Gently hit the brakes, and rub the kitty.
Apply more pressure to both the brakes and the kitty.
Aggressively apply pressure to both the brakes and the kitty.
When you finally come to a stop, the bike and the passenger will be fully satisfied!
Sorry, I am just a little intoxicated right now!

OK, I'll bite... when we're riding 2-up, or I'm riding solo, I always use both brakes to stop. Well, not ALL the way to a stop, but pretty darned close. As my speed nears 0, I ease off the front brake and lower the landing gear. If alone, left foot only; if 2-up, both feet go down, 'cause I just never know if she's gonna squirm around while we're stopped.

Streetg7, For a serious answer, do the same routine you use when you're riding solo. If you keep the patterns the same, it'll take less adjustments on your part.
I use both brakes until I'm stopped, then kick my left foot to the ground just before I fall over. As long as she aint fidgeting, the system works for me. If she is, the I toss out whichever foot is needed. Sometimes both if she has ants in her pants
