Default Teaching my friend to ride

Just thought I'd share this video with fellow F4i enthusiasts. This is my friend's 1st time on a sportbike. She's actually taking the written test tomorrow and taking an MSF course next month, so I took her out to a parking lot and let her loose after giving instructions, and a few stop/go sessions.

Sorry about the music....she wanted to send it to her dad who she said would flip a wig. Hence the calm...lol.

Great vid. Would be perfect in sites and sounds!

Ps. I'm not sure how you kept your cam on her while still looking where you were going but either you did nicely or you're lucky enough. Go get a lotto ticket

BTW just a personal opinion:

Looked like she was moving at a pretty good clip there. If she has no riding experience at all, you'll wanna slow her down. She won't be hitting those speeds during the BRC. And honestly, she learn a helluva lot more going slow. Braking practice and low speed maneuvering
