My wife learned to ride this summer. I have been riding for a while too and never took the MSF course, so her and I both did it. Very basic stuff for me, but she learned a lot and had a good time doing it. She started on a Buell Blast and whenever we get some warmer days, I plan on getting her out on the VFR next. I have the SENA comm system and that has been the best way for me to help teach her while riding. We are able to communicate and I can pass on my experience in "real time" to her. All those things you see and avoid because of the experience you have can be communicated to her while you are both on the road. Best of luck, it's a bit nerve wrecking...
