Hey guys...So my girlfriend decided last year that she wanted to get in the pilots seat of a motorcycle so she signed up for the MSF course and took it. She got thru the class no problem and actually already ahead of the curve because of her experience as a pillion but the actual riding part was a different story. She got really nervous and tense and ended up getting asked to leave. She still really wants to ride but she's a perfectionist and a little scared of failing again.
1)How can she get her confidence up?
2)Does anyone know any motorcycle lessons that would take it slow for her? Go at her pace and walk her thru things? I know from experience that the MSF course is kinda fast paced and impersonal which isn't helping her learn.
I know that the best thing for her first bike is something small that she can learn on. Neither one of us has ever done any off road riding and won't be starting anytime soon mostly due to lack of funds, time and interest. She is panning on buying an older ninja 250 to start with. It'll be something she can use regularly which means more time in the seat.
P.S. before anyone gets on my case this was all her idea and her thoughts, heck she's wanted to ride since before she met me, I'm just trying to help her BUT ONLY WHEN AND WHERE SHE WANTS ME TOO!
