My GF Is Officially a Motorcycle Rider!!!

Awesome! Congratulate her for me and tell her she is now hotness squared! Be sure to keep her practicing the basics. Muscle memory is keen to save you in a panic situation. Oh and buy her some loose fitting Icon leathers!!

good for you - now you can keep her ass off YOUR bike and on HERS

Cool deal and good for her !!

congrats to her!! not to sound too assholish but I wouldn't let her ride alone just yet. (sounds like you think the same way) I don't think that class teaches you much in the ways of traffic and how to deal with it.
Yeah I know she's an adult and if she wants to ride alone she's going to.........been there done that LOL

When I started riding we only had one bike, so I rode alone everywhere. It's not like him being there on another bike is going to have some control over her decisions, ya know? Just a thought.

Thanks everyone! I'm not letting her ride by herself for a while until I'm sure that she won't make any goofy control mistakes. I want to be sure that she is fully in control of the bike. I plan on a couple more parking lot sessions and we'll probably go out in the country today and put around a bit. I'm not one to try and control another adult (as you all know) but she has left it in my hands to make sure she is ready, so I'm taking the responsibility very seriously. I want her to be confident enough to go out and have fun but fearful enough to stay on her toes and not get complacent. Well, we're going out, I'll make sure to take pics. Thanks again!

When he yanks on the leash, it should keep her in line.

actually you have a lot of control over the situation if you watch for her reactions and what cars are coming up and are going to do. yes you can easily predict what most cars are going to do.

It's not about controlling her it's about being a buffer and being there to reassure if she needs advice.

but it was just a suggestion for him..........just a thought
