I know you're just trying to throw some reality in her face but like I said earlier she probably just has the numbers mixed up because watching a video you'd assume the first left is turn 1 then the right is 2 then the left is 3 then the right is 4. but that first left/right is 1a/b. honest mistake really and there's no need to jump down anyone's throat to make your point.
I think it really just depends on how comfortable you are on the bike. If you feel you have the basics down you can sign up for a track day.
the coaches are at the school/trackdays. you gotta pay for the day on the track to get their coaching. but I'm sure once you get there they'll be more than willing to help. I've only met a few people from this site but I bet I've actually met more and just don't know it. We all have big internet dicks but in person everyone I've met up at the track here has been really nice and very helpful.
I haven't done the BostonMoto intro program (and don't know if Tony's or others have one) or really paid much attention to it while I've been up there but I'd bet its a good place to start. I was down at NJMP last summer and the intro program Absolute runs seemed very good. Met a guy who was taking it and he said it was great. Watching them out on track yeah they looked like snails but he said everyone seemed like they were still having fun.
just remember no matter how much some people might seem like they're coming off dickish here they are really just trying to help. They want you to have fun and be safe.
check out Brockton Cycle too, and probably a bunch of other places too. never been to motomarket myself but they might also have some stuff. I got my suit at Brockton Cycle. I think it was new $800-900 but was on clearance for $450 but I tried to get them to throw it in free when I bought my bike cause they weren't moving too much on the price, got it for $150 so I was happy.

No... its because you are such a gem. So well spoken, and receptive to the advice of those you are asking, they're just jealous of your finesse.
As far as women't suits to try on, Vanson, Motomarket, and Seacoast are the only places that have a ladies suit, or two. Vanson has lots of new 2 pieces, but be prepared to spend a lot of $ unless you find something in the bargain bin. Seacoast probably has Dainese, and Rev'it. Last time I checked Motomarket had one dainese women's suit. Being a lady rider, it is virtually impossible to find stuff to try on so look for online vendors than will exchange things with no hassle if it doesn't fit.
Check e-bay too. Lots of stuff for sale right now. If you can buy a brand name ie: a*,Rocket, skip the no name stuff cause it do not fit well. Also Amazon has some stuff. Motosport.com has alot of suits at great prices. Don't worry about the latest model, last years suit is gonna be a lot cheaper. It's not a fashion show after all. Girls suits generally don't sell as fast as guys stuff so there are still deals around.

Since you will be doing street riding I would also recommend taking the MSF class.

I am sure the intructors make a huge difference in the class, but the one I took at CCRI sucked. The instructors were a joke, swearing at you every other word. Two people stoped, put there kick stands down and walked off. They were just totally un-professional and made me and everyone else feel quite un-comfortable. I remember "Are you fucking kidding me!!, Again!". If it wasnt a requirment in RI I would never tell people about the MSF class at CCRI.
So my advice to her if she does plan to take the class, get one with the instructors here! You can tell the class would be very helpful with the right instructors.
If you come to the track check out Street & Competition. Miles can meet all the riders demands......Support the track vendors.
