RE: 2 Up Riding Tips

Pretend there is a pole between your body going into the passengers body. You both should lean together.

RE: 2 Up Riding Tips

I tell my passengers just put your head over my shoulder of the direction we're going to turn in (which gets their body to shift just a bit, not too much, and never in the wrong direction).
So +1 they have to anticipate turns & stops.
Also do a search on the forum for mounting/dismounting - there was a long discussion/tips on it recently.

The only thing I would add is to practice in your neighborhood before hitting the major streets.
