ummmm.... no.
How would you know?
Lee, my only advice to you is that at least get her to sit down and talk reasonably about it with you. If she respects you and cares about your feelings at all she'll at least do that. From there just reasonably discuss the risks and what you will do to mitigate them.
*Take the MSF as well as additional riding instruction
*Buy good quality safety gear (helmet, boots, jacket, riding pants/jeans)
Get some of the statistics on crashes. IIRC most motorcycle accidents are single vehicle accidents meaning it is simply handlebar actuator malfunctions (rider error). Another big source of accidents is people who don't take any motorcycle training. After you get those two big factors out of the way (as well as alcohol) the statistics are not really that bad.
