Took her out on my KTM and she kept tipping over.

It seems she is more afraid of the bike than the crash.

Does she have her own?

Sean 05-23-2012 03:08 PM

Yeah she's got a TTR. Was all gung-ho and jumping into things until the crash. It's all totally understandable.

Well let her find a hobby she can enjoy and not get hurt while you go to the MX track, she is most likely doing this more for you than for herself and you just want to be rid of her if you go by this statement.

Yeah, that wasn't my intention at all. Our levels are pretty far apart right now. Gonna be a while before we're riding Moab.

With riding, she's got to want it. It seems she gave it a go, started to like it, got on your KTM and freaked herself out. Have her start over on the ttr. It took you how long to get to the ability you're at? I'm not saying baby her, in fact, I'd make a point to not hover. But, let her actually learn without you hovering. She might have it in her head that she is disappointing you by not learning fast enough.

Girl brain is really awful. For everyone.

When I went down a couple years ago, I had flash backs of Korea. I got back up and stared at the first swamp rat and said...........Get off my lawn.

I think you're reading it backward.

He took her out on his KTM, she tipped over a lot: no biggie.

He buys her a TTR 125. She rides around, has fun. She then crashes and can't get over it.

Right...except the very first time she rode the TTR she crashed big. Like, within 50 feet.

Sorry. Girl brain. See, can't fix that.
