I have Tourmaster Intake 2 jacket/pants/ Cortech gloves / 3/4 helmet, but she would ride in flip flops/shorts/and spagetti strap shirt if I let her.

Any suggestions?
Tell her to run down the street as fast as she can with her flip flops,shorts and spaghetti strap shirt and then slide face first, then while she's down there tell her to pick up her head and drop it a few times on the concrete. If she gets up and says "That didn't hurt at all." Then you can let her ride like that.
