I swear I didn't look at your post first before I posted mine!

Yes - even if you wouldn't spend big money on your own gear, spend big money on HERS! Fay has a complete Rukka outfit, Schubert helmet, and Italian boots ... probably $2400 worth. It's worth every dime not only because she's safer but she's more comfortable, and she knows you care; it's like buying a diamond (not really, but the same area).

Practice smooth shifts and throttle changes, otherwise her helmet is going to be banging yours all the time, as unpleasant for you as for her ...
