Message: [QUOTE="Steve St.Laurent, post: 1207784, member: 66902"] Our story is much like FruDaddy's. I was going into the motorcycle shop to pick up parts for my street bike. They had 4 or 5 CRF50's sitting there by the parts counter and she walked up to one and said "Look daddy, it's just my size!" (very excitedly). Then she asked the parts guy if she could sit on it - of course he said yes. She asked me if she could get one and I told her no. After that each time she heard I was going to the shop she'd want to come along and sit on the bike. A couple months later I traded a poker table for a couple dirt bikes to play in the yard with (rm80 & xr100 for me) and she wanted to ride on them with me and she kept asking for one for herself. After a few months of that we bought hers. Now she's the one who reads the Great Lakes trail rider and when she sees a kids ride coming up she asks if we can go (we do). She also saw Motokids magazine advertised in my Cycle News and asked if she could get that as well. She talks about wanting to race regularly but I'm trying to talk her out of that (flat out telling her no now). I'd rather she didn't get into racing and just enjoyed it as a hobby - or at some point maybe ride enduro's along with me. I got busted up read bad road racing and I know plenty of guys that have done the same thing with motocross. [/QUOTE]
