Just make sure your passenger keeps feet on the pegs at all times and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Yep; just layed my new Ultra Limited down with my wife on the back, slow speed front brake with the wheel not straight.

New members revive old threads...always. I think it's a rule or something.

Since it's here...I stop the same, whether my wife is with me or not.
