I am new to this website and new to RSV.  25 years ago when my daughters were born I quit riding. The Girls are married and it was time to return.  Two months ago I bought a 2000mm, I have loved the looks, styling and was patient and willing to wait for one to cross my path. Everything that I heard said this was the best ride out there especially for the passenger. Because I was away so long, I took the advice to get my ride skills back so in the last 2 months I have put on about 2,000 miles (city & highway) and feel comfortable with my skills again.  However, I have been reading on this site the last couple of days how hard it is to carry a passenger.  I am very confused, did I make a mistake or was my research correct?  When I get my wife back the bike after 25 years and we lay it down, there may not be a second chance to make a good impression.   
The question is this, is it that hard and what are the any tricks?
