It would help to know how old she is. Could be anything from a 6 year old to a 20 year old hooters girl. If it might be the latter, I'm sure plenty of the guys here could come by and help you out.

Something else I ALWAYS tell a new passenger is not to move around at all when I'm coming to a stop or taking off. I was coming to a stop on my Ultra when my passenger decided to reach down on the left side to get her drink out of the holder. Nearly put us in the other lane!

Yeah, those rear boards hurt when you push back into them or they slightly roll up on you.
Did not go back through all posts but just in case.......I have passenger get off more times then not when backing into a parking spot. Especially if there is any slope and I am angling.

Took my lady for first ride yesterday...'bout 80 miles!
Standard rules:
Always mount the bike from the left side.
Always ask if I'm ready for you to climb on.
No squirming at low / very slow speeds unless you make me aware.
No "leaning" to help me turn, just look pretty and look over the shoulder in direction of the turn.
And very important, just relax and enjoy the ride!!!!!

My wife really enjoyed the ride...thanked me really nice when we got home!

Awsome ride"S"

These are my rules I always say before riding two up with a new passenger
1) feet on pegs at all times
2) lean with the bike and not with me
3) don't keep your head right behind mine or we will bump helmets every time I stop
4) if things start to look harry... you grabbing me like a sumo wrestler isn't going to help
5) if for some reason I start counting... by the time i get to 3 you may want to jump :-)
