Experience is what she doesn't have and defensive riding they don't teach much about in MSF. Like where to position yourself so the other guys can see you.

I'm trying to give her a link so we can sit down and read it and I can answer/explain questions for her.

That's a good one, thanks.

Ebbs' first link should be a fucking sticky. It's really good. Hit the spot.

Books are cool but experience is what she needs. If she is just to frightened, Maybe she really doesnt want or even need to be on the street.

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.

Thought about just getting her a book?

The MSF book is a good start.

Nick Ienatsch's book would be a good option.

Lee Parks' total control works as well.
