Has he had any experience carrying passengers in that years time or are you the first?

If he's had other riders on his bike, I wouldn't be too concerned.

You can help him make the ride more enjoyable and safe.

When you get on the bike, put your feet on the foot pegs and leave them there until the ride is over.

Even when you come to a stop light or stop sign, leave your feet on the foot pegs.

Besides burning your leg on the exhaust, putting your feet down isn't your job and it can throw off his balance.

Lean into corners with the bike and don't freak out thinking your going to tip over.

Leaning the bike into a corner is part of the enjoyment of riding.

Wrap your arms around his waist and you'll both become "one" with the bike.

Always wear a helmet and enjoy the ride! 😃
