She finished the class :) Her phone died so no pics, but she verified that they were on Buells. I guess there was one lady in the class that had Harley everything and was bragging about riding her husband's Harley. Once they got on the bikes, she stalled about 50 times and kept falling over. She

She needs to /want/ to take the class. My wife said that some of the ladies in her class were only there because their husbands told them to take it. You could tell that they didn't want to be there. So you need to get her to want to take the class. From my experience, your wife will need to

+1 on needing to want to take it seriously. We had several ladies in my class, the only one who didn't pass was there for a quick way to get the license test in before she bought her own bike. She already knew everything and didn't need the class, so a 250cc Rebel put her on her ass. I shudder to

Mike, does your wife ride with you? is she afraid of the bikes? I think I agree, this is something she needs to like and want. Of course, you can introduce her to the whole experience by taking her on rides with you, explaining everything, but I think if you ride as a passenger and don't feel the
