no kids...smart man!!!! more toys hahahahaha talk her into takeing the msf course together. after she realizes that this can be done safely and she feels comfortable she will probably understand and accept the idea. most people (like said before) have preconcieved ideas programed into them by people that have never ridden, but if she drives a bike in the class and understands the die namiks of it all, she may be more open to the idea, and may want her own?? if not i go with any and all previous advice.
