No, you're not understanding me. It seems, to her, riding a motorcycle is like doing complicated math. I've seen a ton of times.

The only way over that is determination. SHE has to want it. Unfortunately, riding is the only way to create the muscle memory for riding. If a 125 throttle is too much for her, this might not be something for her to master. That is, unless SHE wants it.

I've seen it go both ways. But, it seems the best way for her to want it is for you to walk away and do your thing.

Sign her up for a class (or five) without you. I can assure you, in her head she is disappointing you.

I recommend loved ones stay the heck away from someone learning to drive cars and motorcycles. Expectations, whether real or not, get in the way of the learning process.
