As DougieB said get her to do HER test too(at least the CBT) then she can make up her own mind about whether her perception of the danger is real or not.Spouting on about safety stats is pretty hopeless as if she's got this "danger" sign hanging over the thought of bikes then really the only person who can remove said sign is her.One way maybe to start the ball rolling is to take her along to a bike dealer's showroom and show her the type of bike you like;ie not the latest road rocket.If she thinks that you're not going to turn into one of the head down,bum in the air at 180mph brigade then she might be a bit more open minded.
If all else fails,say ta-ta and go explore the world.You only live once and it's better to regret something you have done than something you havn't done.
