Private lessons
I spent the best $140 on my bike today. I got my wife a private lesson, specifically for someone that is unsure they can ride, from a MSF teacher. Bought a 2000 883 Sporty 5 hours later (OK, so it was more than $140). She's now signed up for the beginner's class next weekend.
Now my bike can lose the 2-up seat and the sissy bar.

RE: Private lessons
Good deal for your wife, bad move (IMHO) for you. Should have gone ahead and bought her a softail too! My wife learned to ride last November. Bought her a 750 Metric, traded it for a 06' XL1200L Sportster, let her ride a Heritage Softail this week. Oh schmidt! Now she's in love with the softail. At least you should be glad she likes to ride! LOL! LOL!
In all sincerity good for both of you.

Pathfinder....
No. No. No. Cheap sporty to, at least, keep it in the family. My hope is that she'll want to try out my FatBoy sometime later this fall and that will lead me to "upgrade" to something else this winter.
I'm glad she wants to ride but then, It's all about me anyway.

RE: Private lessons
Don't worry it will only take about 6 months for her to be ready for the softail so you'll get your new bike soon 
A privite lesson was a good idea. Had 4 girls fail my MSF class cause they were not prepared. 2 of them left saying they were going to go have some private lessons before they try again.
Some guys think that teaching thier wives themselves is a good idea only to find that they transfer thier bad habits and/or cause a lot of stess to the relationship. My hubby was both patient and frustrated. He did well but private lessons away from him might have been a good idea (don't tell him I said that

RE: Private lessons
Wow, congratulations! It's always nice to hear when the girls get involved. You better watch out though, I am only warning you.... She might just like it waaayy tooo much! Pretty soon she'll be quite the independent and venture out on her own, without you. It's addictive. It's great a Christmas though, you never are stuck for ideas for a gift for her. Even girls like shiney chrome!
