Perfect place to practice then a ride over to Saltgrass or Sweet Tomatoes depending on your taste. She rides AND is a looker. A keeper for sure!

Here's my girlfriend, Carrie, just as we arrived home with her newly-purchased '99 Ninja 250 (with 500 stickers

)... she doesn't know how to ride yet, but she got her permit, we went gear shopping, and she's looking to enlist in an MSF class this spring. I'm watching happily from a safe distance - she's motivating herself so far, thankfully. I know how often this type of endeavor fails when the guy tries to push his poor wife into riding, and I don't want to be that douchebag.

I've only lived at this place a few months. Before too long, I'm sure I'll have my heels dug in....

Yeah, we've been using that parking lot a ton this spring. We go over every weekend and she practices swirving, hard braking, slow tight u-turns. I can't say enough how beneficial a little closed course training is. In this exercise, she rides right towards me about half way through 2nd gear. At the last second, I point which way I want her to turn, and she's got to swirv lest she kill her boyfriend....

When I first looked at the picture I thought "OH NO!!!

You're Doing It WRONG!!!" but then I read the text.

Now, let this be LAST time it has to suffer the shame of riding in the back of a truck! It's NOT a Harley for pete's sake!
