don't accelerate quickly, don't turn as aggressively, plan your stops sooner than you would due to the extra weight.

wife and i sometimes bang helmets. i asked my friend how to remedy this. he said that what he does is that he wears a backpack. it provides a bit of space between him and his wife. then i think he said that his wife just grabs between the backpack and his back... wife and i were supposed to try this out tomorrow, but she is coming down with a cold or something. gotta wait and see how she is feeling.

don't go on the freeway on the first time. start off simple to get the hang of the different handling. also, it can be really scary for the passenger to be going so fast on their first time on the bike (ask me how i know that part. LOL)
