I taught her to ride, and advised her about all the PSE.
These days she almost always rides her own bike and wears whatever she wants.
She is old enough to make her own decisions.
To answer your question; Not without pants or leather boots.
With that said, I'm not one to preach about what someone should or shouldn't wear when riding.
Yeah, I not trying to preach about what others should wear either. I know what I wear and insist on what others will wear when riding 2up with me and was wondering the same with what other think/require of their 2up person.
Well, being that I do not want my GF doing things like telling me what or what not to wear, I do not do it to her. I made her aware of the risks involved, showed her pictures of damage to others, told her about my own road rash experience(s) and she does what she wants. I am not going out with a teenager. That being said, she wore claim digger type jeans one time and burned the heck out of her leg on the pipe getting off the bike, so she usually wears full jeans. Not that regular old jeans provide that much more protection then shorts, but that is not a discussion for this thread.
Heck guys, I start telling my girl what to wear on the bike, she will start telling me I have to wear a full cage while playing hockey. Slippery slope boys, slippery slope
