It's good to see people retaining new phrases these days. Keep spreading it. I called some stuck up broad a chunt the other day. I was hammered drunk and I thought it was clever because my buddy's last name is hunt. I just threw the c before it. Chunt.

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.

Author: Ken Condon

Riding motorcycles is fun but Ken Condon maintains there is a state of being beyond the simple pleasure of rolling down the road; this book was written to help riders find that state of being. It’s the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life and everyday problems seem to dissolve; you feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements; you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery.

With more than three decades of motorcycling under his belt, Ken Condon has had many opportunities to experience the Zone—while road racing, dirt biking, and even commuting in heavy traffic. He recognizes that the ability to ride in the Zone goes hand in hand with mastering basic motorcycling skills and achieving mental and emotional control.

Condon’s experience as a teacher shows in the careful organization of the book. He has identified all the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book’s ideas and concepts into solid riding skills. A companion DVD is included with the book to demonstrate each concept and technique and help the reader apply each lesson to street riding.
