I hope I don't come off the wrong way here to some, but here it goes...
Man, you're wives suck! You too desrtskyz. Way to degrade yourself like that. nice! :ah:
Check it out..either you can and want to learn to ride or you don't want to and never will. I'm don't think it is a girl thing. Some people just don't grasp the concept or have the courage to get better, take some chances and actually learn to ride and get better.
Anna started out on a big azz Grizzly. After that...Raptor 660. I think the larger the quad, the easier it is to get up stuff. Larger quads have more power to get you out of bad situations and they also doesn't beat you to death like the smaller bikes.
Speaking of plenty of girls who can ride...what about Christina (tacomama). She could keep up with some of the fastest riders in our group. What about Kayla (GirlWitHorns). They both ride yfz450's and ride VERY well. How bout Kristin (foxysandchick), dunelover, Ashly (Bert's wife), sandchick, 2 WHEELER RIDER Pam, etc etc. They all do just fine. I don't think they started out on any smaller of bikes either. My point here (not to Vic but to the other peeps in this thread) is that some will learn to ride and some never will. It has nothing to do with being a chick.
As for my advise....
Unfortunatly it doesn't sound like she really wants to ride, Vic. The RZR might be something for her, but those can actually be MORE dangerous for unexperienced duners. Just something to keep in mind. Make sure she really wants to do this before you invest a bunch of time or money in searching for a quad that doesn't exist.
Where has she tried learning to ride these quads? Is it in the dunes? Cause that is intimidating for beginners. Try and get her to become more comfortable in whatever terrain she feels least intimidated and go from there.
