Man, if I can feel your love for her all the way out here on the west coast, I'm sure she can feel it where you're at.

Best way to teach a loved one how to ride is to drop her off at the MSF class and take a long ride while she is learning.... lol

ABSOLUTELY! While my husband has been riding over 25 years, I would not let him teach me and would have driven him crazy if he had tried! Help her to get the right bike for her and to learn where the controls are. Beyond that, let the instructors take the stress and give the instruction.

Besides, if for some reason she is one that 'can't get it', you do NOT want to be the one to tell her.

Good luck!

My wife has been riding for all of a month now. We started with the MSF course, she picked up her bike the day after graduation and today after many many small rides we graduated up to a 200 mile trip including stop and goes, some cali freeways and twisties as well. My fuel mileage has increased from the slower speeds but she is doing good and I think picking it up quick.....be patient
