In your opinion, what is the best way to motivate my wife to try and go for her motorcycle endorcement? A few weeks ago she and a friend took a MSF course... Both failed the written test because they didn't study. After the failure, she seemed to have lost interest in riding motorcycles altogether. I have a rebel 250 standing by for her to use, it just needs a tune up and some plates. Should I go ahead and get it ready without obvious commitment or should I wait? Anyone have any suggestions to maybe work around her frustrations she had with the course and set her up to feel that motorcycle fever?

 

Don't ! If it's something she actually wants to do she will make the effort and do it. Trying to talk her into it won't work out well for anyone.

 

Just get too drunk to ride home all the time,, sooner or later she'll get the endorsement just to save on towing costs.

 

Hard to imagine any scenario here where pressure from you helps.

Get the Honda running. Leave the key in it. Leave it to her from there.

 

Having been married for 25 years, myself, I agree with 0maha and Stoney. Not a good idea to pressure her, or even "talk her into" it...

 

get on your bike and leave with out her a few times she might come around

 

If she wanted to, she would have passed that test. Let it go.

Let her see you taking your girlfriend for a ride......

 

If she does not want to do it, trying to talk her into it will not help. If she does not have the desire, I would leave it alone.
