Good luck mate. My lady has had her car license for 26 years and it seems she's still learning to drive the way she goes about it ...................................
We started in the yard with throttle and clutch feel like Steel told me I should do. Worked perfect. The twist in all this is her boss from her second job wanted to learn too. She is 42 and never been on a bike.
All this moved to a ball park near by.
My wife did great. Shifted gears, tested herself and pushed her limit. She's comfortable.
She rode for a good while then it was the bosses turn. This chick is a natural !!
2 minutes playing with the clutch and throttle and off she went.
She had never been on a motorcycle and she rode like it was normal.
Both ladys took turns going around the field, building confidence, increasing speed.
After a short break, my wife decided to go again. She was too busy talking and forgot that she had the bike in gear. Yep, dropped it.
Over confident.
The chain has too much slack in it and it came off. I couldnt jump it back on so that ended the training for the day.
The boss wanted to ride with me on the Rocket so I took her on some new black top with plenty of twisties. At the turnaround point I asked her if I was going too fast. She was glowing and said "No, you almost got up to 100"
So I gave her the full treatment. Hard launch, 100+ mph, peg scraping, etc.
She booked the training class with my wife an hour later while asking bout the different brands of bikes.
Good on you @nolton, Helen has been riding for about 4 years now, she had only ridden a push bike before that........ the biggest thing she liked is when we got a Scala intercom set, I could give her some advise as we all have been riding for so long we just do things by instinct.
She still struggles with parking so she pulls up, hops off and I do valet parking for her
