If she wants you to show her more, let her sit on the bike, and go through the gears without cranking it up. But, discuss it first.

It's the expectations on both sides that get in the way, and usually end up with hurt feelings and someone in tears. Wanna take a guess who??

If you want to teach her like they'll do in the MSF course, you can get a copy of the MSF materials online and use those as a teaching guide.

It's "The Pace", in a different format.

This is what I would suggest too. Ask her what she wants. Most guys want to do everything for their SO but we have an opinion too.

I would think starting with the basics as they do in the MSF with letting here slip the clutch just enough it starts to grab so she can get used to where it engages. Then take it to the next step with "walking" around the parking lot.

Just let her decide though.

In other news-She passed her test last night. Time to get her some real world experience.

I'd show her and if you've got a big enough back yard or grassy space let her ride it around some.

That's what I did with my ex anyway, and she passed MSF with a perfect score.

She passed her test. She actually failed her first time-So we did a LOT of training in the time before her second try. I put her on the 1100.

By the time she was used to it-The little training bike felt like a bicycle she said. Had no problem the second time.
