You people who are scared of your front brake are too much.

O.P. a good way to control your passengers weight distribution (get then to stop leaning/shifting) is to tell them (her) to look over your shoulder in the direction you are turning. This will eliminate her tendency to counter lean and keep her weight on axis with the bike.

Keep at it. there's no shortcut to experience. ride safe.

I have so much experience I didn't drop my bike today. Welcome to a very big club. John

Keep your head up and look where you want to go. If you look down, that's where you're going .... down!

That and when you have a passenger have them look over your shoulder in the direction of the turn like another poster said.
