Wife wants to go for a ride.

Hello,
I tried the search but no luck. A while back there was a thread with tips for riders. I wanted my wife to read it before we went for our first ride. Could someone show me the thread or just post the tips again?
Thanks
Mark

i saw it to just get her on and off on the left side of the bike with the stand down (if she pulls ya over the stand will save ya) if ya got a backrest tell her to keep it in the middle of her back(so she doesnt help ya steer)if she still trys to help ya steer have her look over your shoulder on the inside of the turn.take it easy till ya get used to the extra wieght and wiggling.

Until you get used to her,and she learns to help you,it is a little unnerving.After a while it will become second nature for both of you.My wife is now a natural she even falls asleep.Sweet!!!
