I took my youngest (7 years old) on a ride through around the block today. She was hooting and hollering the whole way. Mom was taking pics as we drove by the house, and she has been looking at me for the last hour with a grin on her face and simply saying "awesome!".

Yup, she is "daddy's girl"! Probably one of my favorite rides ever and it lasted all of 10 minutes!

 

That's great!! It's fantastic to share an experience like that with your kids.

 

Sweet!! I still have a few years before my girls get on. I can't wait!

 

Me too.

 

My oldest (16 now) and my wife both ride with me from time to time, so the lil one was quite jealous. She would always ask to see if she could touch the passenger pegs yet. She asked again today and was pretty close. I grabbed the stock seat which is a little thinner, and she just reached. She ran in the house screaming and grabbed her "biker jacket". There was no question...we were riding!

 

...and another biker is born. Good post! Great thread.

 

thats my 7 year old on the back in my pic.

 

Very Cool! My 5yo started with me this year too. 10-minutes is about her max.

Wait 'till you see the kids faces when you pick her up at school!

 

Don't you just love it when a uoungster loves to ride too?
