RE: teaching my girlfriend
hmm that don't sound right. i can see the bike just taking off from her and hitting the ground.
ORIGINAL: deej
Have her practice clutch walking the bike, my wife had to do that for hours before I would let her actually put her foot on the pegs and ride.

No clutch walking is in first gear and all you do is get her to feel the clutch and walk with her feet, not next to the bike, on the bike you monkey LOL

For the sake of your relationship, have her take the MSF course. It's hard to teach someone. I've tried. You both tend to get frustrated at each other. Have her take the course to learn the basics, then you can help her after than.

Maybe I am a chicken, but the passenger is on the back for almost 200miles at least prior to riding. Just to get the balance of the ol gal. Then move on from there.
