Tips for Driving with a Passenger?

I have a few lady friends interested in going for a ride on the back.
Looking at the scooter, the seat doesn't seem as accommodating as the Buddy (it's more angled) so this is a Blur-specific question as well as a general scooting question.

What are some obvious and not-so obvious tips for riding your Blur around with a passenger?

Make sure they know to lean with you (the same direction) and not to fidget around too much. I was glad when my wife decided she wanted her own scooter because she couldn't ever sit still riding on the back of mine.

Bocette became much better riding pillion once she got her endorsement. Tell your passenger to look to the inside of turns. The Blur is actually much better two up than a Buddy, more room and more power.

Hopefully you got this figured out. The Blur is actually one of the most comfortable seat around - especially for the rear rider. Every woman I've ever had on the back says it was very pleasant and nice (and none of it had anything to to with the vibration

The one thing that everyone does is put their heel on the exhaust though and then then melt their shoe. I don't know why this happens - there is a clear spot for the foot and heel.
