best way for a passenger to ride a sportbike?

I took my girlfriend on her very first motorcycle ride today. Our 1st ride was alright but she had trouble sliding into me. I've really only had one passenger one time and the girl who rode on the back had her own motorcycle before and ex rode for years with her so she was very skilled as a passenger.

But I then read this thread and I picked her up from school later on and told her some of the stuff I read on here (Hand on back, knees, stay inline with bike) and the ride was 10x better. She enjoyed it too.

Found some vids. Haven't watched them all yet but figured I'd post them...

I like how they are preaching motorcycle safety and I can see Beer and they are in a Bar.
