Concerns about my wife on the track.

I've been taking her out in the dirt just so she can practice shifting and stuff, but it's not the road.

When you get back D, we'll have to go up to Utah or something, buy a pair of 250's, and then take the girls out somewhere so they can get more comfortable. That's the best I can come up with. I'm not putting my wife on the streets here... it's seriously the equivalent of putting someone in front of a firing squad and hoping the guns misfire.

We can take the girls out on the dirtbikes too if you want. They're easy to ride.

I think they'll be some times where we take some rides around Vegas, just not too many. I do want her to be a little more comfortable on the bike before she heads right onto the track. In and around Aliante are some decent roads to practice starting from a stop and turning at the same time. There's plenty of streets around where we live for her to get practice. We really don't need to go all the way to Utah, but I'm down anyway. I think I shold just get back to Vegas and go from there. I'm going to get a hold of some TD hosts and see what they think.
