Just keep practicing with her if you can't find something specific. Find out if this is where her heart is or if this is an activity you are projecting on her.

I call BS on that. Getting comfortable on two wheels, learning proficiency with the controls... can be very worthwhile. From the sounds of it, she doesn't even have the very basics down and is uncomfortable with the whole thing. Riding around in circles at 10-20mph isn't that much different on dirt vs asphalt... and could help her gain some confidence.

There is a reason they have a dirt version. Riding around on a fat pig mini cruiser /= light small dirtbike.

I am not a fan of the MSF anyway. Think it's a waste of time, only reason to do it is to get the insurance discount.
