The wife tried holding on with one hand to the grabrail and one to my belt. Didn't feel right though. When I rode in UK and did an average of 400miles a day she did use to hold on as such but it seems that we can't do this here in Malta. I'm guessing that the problem is divided in two parts. The roads in Malta are not that long without meeting a junction or intersection so braking is frequent making for an on/off ride. One tries to be smooth but it's difficult. A V-twin doesn't help either, riding my brother's Z750 four is smoother and that helps.
