First off, i'm not a women :oops: but i need some advice from a couple of ladies for my girl who has never ridden cycles (kind of scared at that) but my life surrounds motorcycles and you don't know just how bad a wish she would take those rides with me. I don't want to force her, she wants to learn because one of her friends is taking the msf, she said she would do it as long as her friend went. What should i tell her or do you think it would be best to tell her to get on here and chat with you ladies?? Not a big 2 upper and to ride with my girl on our own cycles would just be, well speechless for me. Any help would be more than greatly appreciated, thanks again and sorry to butt in to the 'ladies only' forum

Taking the MSF course with her friend sounds like a great idea!

I'm with veda. Taking the MSF course would give her a feeling of whether she would like being on a bike.
Given that the course is completely supervised, she probably won't get hurt.

You could take her to a lesson so she could see what they are like. When she sees how small the bikes are and how slow they go around the parking lot, she may feel better about it.

You could tell her to come on here and chat with us, but we'll just tell her to take the MSF. ;) Take the shortcut and just tell her yourself, and tell her there's wimmins here on the intarwebs if she has questions. ;)

It would definitely be better for her to learn in a class than from a personal acquaintance.

And, yes....ask her to register and chat with us in here.

We don't bite. :)
