#130476 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer.... in the FACE!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1878 Re:Daughter's first ride 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Well, if there's one thing I know, it is that every moment is of vital importance and nothing is trivial. Make the most of each day, and even if they do drift away for a time, they'll be right back riding with you again before long. Enjoy!!   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

My oldest, 11 years old, loves it when I pick him up at school on the bike. Increases his "cool factor" a notch or two. I have considered a harness for my 7 year old. He has fallen alseep on me twice this year. BT   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #130528 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer.... in the FACE!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1878 Re:Daughter's first ride 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Awesome... I think my next purchase for the bike is going to be the taller sissy bar and luggage rack. I can strap her book bag to the luggage rack, and away we go!   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

She's 31 now with her own 1100 V-Star Custom. Now she's keeping up with "the old man". Kudos to her and you Frank.

They are 15 and 11, my oldest rode once and decided it is not for her. We have them all equipped with full face helmets, sturdy boots, gloves and always wear our gear. I love taking them on rides long or short it does not matter they love it so much. It is a great way to spend some quality one on one time.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #130596 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer.... in the FACE!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1878 Re:Daughter's first ride 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thanks, Bob and Greyphart!! It's wonderful that so many of you have brought your kids into riding. I think it really is a chance to restore the balance of trust and maintaining a strong rapport with your kids. My daughter hasn't hit the "terrible teens" yet, but hopefully, through things like this, they won't be such a time of turbulence.

Moderator Posts: 4871 Re:Daughter's first ride 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Good job Frank! Seems Daughters will always ride with dear old dad , it's the boys that "outgrow" it. My wife and I opted not to have children , but had we , I too , would hope He or She would love riding as much as we do. Keep up the good work (You know , getting the next generation of riders primed). Wendy (my wife) has fond memories of riding with her dad as a little girl on his cb450......your daughter will have those same memories.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1878 Re:Daughter's first ride 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Yep!! "The Next Generation." So far, I've gotten her into Jeeps and bikes.

Frank I noted in your photo that you were wearing a helmet, sturdy boots, leather jacket, but missing an essential piece of gear (IMHO) GLOVES. When we take a fall our hands will often hit first as a normal protective move. I always wear gloves, at least fingerless when really hot, and recommend it to all. Take it for what it is a freindly suggestion as even a minor slip can mess up an unprotected hand   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #130857 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer.... in the FACE!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1878 Re:Daughter's first ride 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Yep. I knew someone was going to point that out. You're absolutely right. I should have been wearing my gloves. Thank you.   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron. My music   The administrator has disabled public write access.
