Somebody link me knowledge...
Somebody hook me up with an eay to read/understand link on riding tips/advice for beginners. I kind of want an in-depth one where she can take some time and read and understand. Her biggest problem right now is getting up to speed. It takes her forever to get up to 35mph and it's dangerous, especially when you got an impatient H2 tailgaiting your ass. I had to do the "back the fuck off" had motion to the bag of douche.

here's one...looking for more... where are you riding exactly? As new as she is and with that kind of issue, small neighborhood/large parking lot might be best... |

Thought about just getting her a book?
The MSF book is a good start. Nick Ienatsch's book would be a good option. Lee Parks' total control works as well.

twist of a wrist 2? 1 reads too much like a stereo manual.

TOTW2 would be alright... more geared towards track riding and advanced techniques though. That's why I was thinking Ienatsch's or Parks' book. Both good overall reads. There's another called "proficient motorcycling" that is also supposed to be good but I forget who the author is.
