Now if her neck would get strong enough to hold up the helmet for longer than 15 minutes at a time . . . ;)

She's getting pretty good with the throttle control now. I'm still not adjusted to the training wheels - I keep thinking she's going to fall over, but she doesn't.

I want her to get fully addicted before having her first get-off.

Rather than spending $50-150, my father in law made them. He had the stuff laying around already. Axle, wheels and mount to the frame. Pretty simple.

If you need to, you can move the lever closer to the grip by adding a little more free play and then wrapping a zip ty around the lever perch.

The day before yesterday she did. . . But then yesterday she wanted to ride her bicycle. LOL.

I want to get her good enough to take her to Wildwood Lake Raceway - they have a 1.1 mile outdoor track for me and a small mini/pitbike track for her.

Give it a month or so.

Looks like she had a blast and its something she will remeber forever. Now start preparing for growth spurts. This will include buying two or three more motorcycles, 5 to 6 sets of gear and boots, etc LOL. Beleive me its all worth it, both my girls still love riding and have been doing it for five years now. BE SAFE!
