    no gear, no ride, simple. If she can't see that then see ya later. Sounds harsh but if she really wants to be with you then she'll see the light

    Lots of good advice, I think if you can find her a sexy fitted jacket like the ones Quasi's site was showing and some cool dragon jeans she'll be happy to wear gear. I see lots of chicks wearing some awesome fitted stuff on bikes, nice to see that there is variety of tastes and colours (it's not all black).

    I love my white Shift leather fitted jacket (Motomail), cost around $800 bucks from memory but it's because I'm worth it and it's saved my skin more than once (and still looks mint).

    I've seen the Quasi girl ones at Taupo trackdays and they look awesome in the pastels (pink & blue), nice shape and great price.

    Don't know the chick so can't say what will work and what won't.

    One thing I'd like to note though is the persistence of Kiwis to call trousers pants. You are not American. Why copy them?

    Get her to look at some of the pics on Ride2Die.com. It graphically illustrates what happens to your skin when it meets the road unprotected.Til then,no gear ,no ride.Sheesh so much for chicks being smarter and more responseable.

    Think i may have posted this b4 but my wife got a GN250 to learn on and a full codura riding suit (jacket and pants) she shows up at my work to go for a ride only wearing the jacket and her jeans one day so i said to her either go home and put on ALL of your new gear or you aint coming out with me....she complains that its too hot and begrudgingly rides home to get the rest of her gear.
    Later that afternoon she slides across a hairpin corner into an amco.
    Thank God im more stubborn than her.

    Shes ok BTW.

    I would never take someone on a bike with no gear ... its simple .. wear gear or take the car. There is really no excuse to take her anywhere if she is too stupid to protect herself.

    Right, thanks everyone for your comments..

    I thought about it some more, looked at more photos, had sex, thought about it a bit more, and the answer became clear.

    Its ME who is being the dick here. I'm being soft, giving in to her wanting to go without gear.

    So I told her. straight out, that I cant and absolutely won't let her on again untill we get her full kit. I said it means she will be getting the bus home alot, so we better get it sorted quick

    So now I'm looking for gear, the hard part is going to be letting me pay for it.

    Thanks

    Keep showing something gory and she'll end up banning bikes from the relationship. Bad move.

    Yeah I tend to agree, but when you have someone that is that blind to the consequences it's a tough call.
    I think the answer that SkidMark has come to (which is the preferred option IMO) is the right way to go.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Simple you say? don't let her on?

    Theres no way I would live with myself If I binned and she lost her skin. So it sounds simple no gear, no ride.

    But now comes the problem of me turning up to work on my bike (we work at the same place, often start at different times but finish tlogether).
    Now I've got to make her get the bus home? 35+min whilst I'm home in 10?

    No sex for me tonight then

    I don't know how to make her understand the importance of gear, even after a near fatal bin of my own. I've offered to buy her gear, but can't get her to the shop to try any on!

    Any suggestions?

    I've resorted to taking the car lots more in an effort to not put myself in that situation.
    Get another girlfriend! We've all got to keep the pool clean!
