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.
> Also, how tall is she ?
About 5'-6" I think.

How's your insurance coverage?

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.
