nice- the first thing she will learn will be to "dress to ride"!!

my +2 has her own, but seems to be more on the back of mine... hope you can get yours to ride next to you-

Very cool. My wife decided one day she wanted to learn to ride my Sporty. After I pointed out that she had never learned to drive a stick shift and that it required the coordinated use of two separate brakes instead of one, she decided she was better off as a passenger.

I slept much better that night........

My wife was like fish to water when I taught her to ride... once she got the clutch down the rest of it she pretty much figured out AND she took a MSF course (because she's Active Military and has too) but it's taught here a lot as well. I'm not the most patient of people sometimes so it was best she had 3rd party instruction to re-enforce what she had already learned.
