Amazing.  She was OK after only 10 minutes.

I did have some difficulty getting her to brake HARD, but I trust the MSF
instructors are better at that.

I'll work with her a bit more on Tuesday, then the MSF folks (the pros) will
unteach any bad habits I taught and she'll be going up the progress curve
...

She's impressive and looks like she has a lot of confidence.

Anybody can go fast, it takes skill to go slow.

I've been riding since I was 14, from Whizzer to Ducati to BMW, etc.

That would make it about 48 years (ouch).

Tell Janet I thought she did a great job.

How old is she and how many tickets and/or car accidents has she had ?

Also, how tall is she ?

48 years old.  I'm not sure about the number of tickets and accidents.
Right now she doesn't have a car, which is one reason I'm getting MSF'd --  
so she can borrow either of my vehicles to go get coffee or whatever.

I would never recommend motorcycling for someone who is accident prone.
What is a fender-bender with a car is naturally worse with a bike.


About 5'-6" I think.

The more relevant question is how much the vehicles are worth.  About $2K
each.  I have my eye on both a new bike and new truck/car.

If she wrecks either, I'll just buy a new one.
