I loved your introductory message as I had much the same experience with my wife. It's difficult to finally say "Oh well, screw what you think" (and even more difficult if she eventually gets to say "I told you so"), but you've done what you had to do. Welcome to the motorcycle and to the group.

My biggest note of caution/advice is to avoid looking at that which you fear the most. It really is the case that you will go towards whatever you are looking at. This becomes dangerous when you're looking at the lane divider, the approaching truck, or the curb that you're desperately trying to avoid. Look at the point at which you want to end up. My MSF instructor didn't say a thing about this (!!), but it accounted for both of my falls (thankfully long ago).

Take care and have fun.
