Soon she will get to know what you will do in different situations.

And make sure they understand that holding on to back of you back instead of you is the worse possible situation.
so my wife hates anything motorcycles but i have gotten her on the back a few times, and i really hate the bumping helmets, i know its normal and expected but i almost wanted to by a junk helmet to avoid banging up my new icon helmet. like everyone else said its a lot of experience and teaching but it can be fun to have a rider on the back for a trip to town or a nice sunday stroll in the hills.
