So, first time out my wife layed it over!
She is ok. But the forks are a little off. They dont look bent, but the left fork is not lined up with the other, its off balance I guess. I'll get pics up tonight or tomorrow sometime, but anyone else have this happen?

The forks are just twisted in the triple clamp. Loosen the clamps and then you can straighten the forks.
Btw sorry to hear about your wife's accident, hopefully she isn't too discouraged.

Hey thanks man. She is fine, just a little shook up and discouraged like you said. I think she will be fine to try again on another day

I know, and no she hasnt done the msc yet. This was just me getting her to do some basic stop start getting used to throttle and clutch business in front of our house. She got a little cocky and, well, you know the rest. She was too mad at herself to listen to me tell her what she did wrong. Its ok though, she wasn't hurt. Everything else is replaceable. Shes a quick learner, just a bit unlucky today.

Maybe working on some exercises for static balance (like feet-up and foot-down) before things start moving and her senses get overwhelmed?: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?p=617313

Sorry man, stay positive!
The guys & gals that run the msf have a belief because their bikes are to be sacrificed to the benefit of all who ride. She should have a good experience there. "Bike is down and broken! Ya? So what, go get her another." - KY MSF coach.  /meant in good humor
