i worked out a simple "tapping" my shoulder system with my wife.
something like 1 tap- slow down
2 taps - pull over and stop when i have a chance.
3 taps - she is going to readjust her position when i am at a stoplight (amazing how much a person shifting their weight will move the bike when at a stop).
4 taps - take the next cut off.
something to that effect. i forget the exact system (we haven't ridden together for quite awhile now). it was hard to talk on the freeway when we both wore full-faced helmets and earplugs. we didn't ride enough together to validate getting a radio communication system.
also, go easy on the brakes and throttle. adjust the preload to compensate for the additional weight of your passenger.
