This is key.

Yeh leaning in any way is bad, throws you off balance. It leads to you having to steer the bike and steer against the inputs the other person is giving you

Good point about leaning w/ the bike vs. rider - essentially staying centered over the seat. The real problems come in with someone unfamiliar with riding that tries to 'counter' lean and stay upright as you lean into a corner - that can make for some very unsettling motion!

I once gave my ex-wife's fat bitch sister and her fat ass kid each a ride around the block.

Hard to say which one was worse. It was like riding with a loose 200 pound sack of potatoes on the seat behind me. A bad passenger is a scary fucking thing.

You've got an ideal situation here. Lady complains, she stops riding, you're home free.

My experience before I started riding and was just a passanger...I HATED IT!

Seriously, there was NOTHING my husband could have done to make it any better for me. Maybe she is just not going to enjoy it regardless of what you or she does.

BTW - the bike I grew to hate riding on the back of was also a GSXR 750.
