oh, believe me I know....we had a lot of discussion concerning not exceeding 3k on the tach....and I followed her in our Z3 just to monitor things. She did really well, though, and doesn't seem to be overly intimidated, so I think she may be able to become a decent rider. Gonna borrow a buds dirtbikes this weekend and let her have a try out in some big open fields to see how she handles shifting/braking etc.
