referring to my previous thread, Vanessa is learning to ride.
does anyone have a smaller bike for her to learn on as a favor to me?
i'm not going to pay anything outrageous to borrow it..blah blah etc etc.
i've got a shadow 600 and a f4i.
apparently, the vlx is too heavy and the f4i is too jumpy.
probably i'm just going to put her on the shadow....anyway..

help more chicks get on the road! i'm sure we can all get behind this one.

I'll be behind her

how tall is she? best to direct her to the MSF safety course. Money wisely spent.

f4i too jumpy? i've taught 2 ppl on mine with ease. no mine is not up for renting, just for sale.

Too bad I don't still have my rebel-- maybe post on craigslist? might find someone on there willing to do a couple of hours for some dough. good luck!

Im really thinking it will be more important that she has a bike at the right height than power or even weight. If she cant get her feet down it wont matter if tis a 400 pounds bike.

That being said i think the shadow would be best, for just learnign to ride but to pass the test she will probably need something lighter.
