Easy on the leaning advice... ... and some girls aren't that good with the spacial relations, so if you tell them to lean with you they may actually lean MORE, or if you tell them not to lean, they try to sit up in a corner. Had both happen to me...

Very true in my case. Twenty-five years ago when my wife first rode on the back of my '73 bonnie I told her to lean with me...was that ever a mistake. To this day she hates riding with me...why I ask...She says she hates the leaning!! Of course, being the young kid I was at the time I did take a few liberties with aggressive driving that I still pay for today.

I rarely ride 2-up but yesterday I took my 17yrold Son on a 40 mile ride and it was great. Other than the lighter front end and the need to concentrate more at slow speeds I didn't even notice him on the back. The "lean" affect for him must be natural??
