Trip and i gave 3 reasons. Well i gave 1 and he gave 2 but whatever. 1. Saves you the headache of teaching them. 2. She will get her licence. 3. It will reduce her insurance. Oh and i think the vote goes to MSF Quote:

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but MSF is always an option.

![]() I was taught by my SO. He did a fabulous job. We remained together. I also took the MSF course. It didn't teach me anything he hadn't already taught me but I got my license and it was fun. Whatever. ![]() |

MSF is for pussies. Get a Busa and wheelie that bitch. Plus you only need first gear so she doesn't have to worry about the clutch except for take off.
By the way I taught my friends how to start out by showing them you can start moving from a stop using only the clutch. I'd put my right hand behind my back and ease off the clutch until the bike started moving. They tried it and figured out the clutch quickly.

If you want to show her the basics about the mechanics of the bike, etc., that's fine. Nice big parking lot, and a lot of patience is necessary. The MSF course teaches proper riding techniques, and you don't have to deal with expectations. She'll learn on a small, underpowered bike that she can flat foot, and can handle the power band. Plus, she won't learn your bad riding habits.
I'm sure you know it all, but she doesn't. Let her learn proper techniques, good safety habits, etc. from folks that care, and will have the patience to go at her pace, not yours. If she's not cut out to ride, or puts herself or the others in the class at risk, the MSF instructors will take her aside and counsel her out of the course. You care about her safety, right?

Or, be a real friend, and take the MSF course with her. God forbid, you might learn something!

The MSF costs that much in Canada? Total Rider here in Austin only charges $195.
