Well I'M on my phose so I didn't read every post.... But I didn't see the part where she took the msf course... Get her in there already, sounds like she could benefit from it... Comes w a free manual plus seat time and it's a lot smarter than riding around on the street where, from what you've said, she evidently doesn't belong just yet.
My girlfriend went through the same last yea and even w MSF under her belt she still needed much more parking lot time before she felt REMOTELY comfortable on the street..... So get her in the MSF course... Reading does not equate to seat time and 1 on 1 instruction with a trained instructor.

would you be against books?
I'd recommend "A Twist of the Wrist" (all versions) by Keith Code... |

I am a self professed book geek but I have to agree with taking the class and then doing some parking lot time before hitting the street. I read so many books (all with great info) before starting to ride. When I got in the class I was like ohh that's what they were talking about. The books help but there's no substitute for practice, and lots of it, in a save environment.

Books like TOTW etc that are being suggested are already beyond where she's at right now... that's like handing a second grader a calculus book.... they might be able to read it & absorb some of the material, but they won't be able to put it to much use.
However... If I'm gonna suggest a book, I'll throw a title out there that hasn't even hit the book shelves yet... Riding In the Zone by Ken Condon. It's a Book and DVD combo that'll be going for about 20 bucks on Amazon. You can pre-order now. http://ridinginthezone.com/index.html Quote:
