Popular Post durk Posted September 24, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 On Labor Day I took my youngest daughter Ally out for a ride. She has never really expressed a big interest in riding with me other than a ride from school or to a friend's house. I always felt she wanted to be seen on the bike more than she enjoyed riding. What's crazy is this Labor Day ride together was brought on more by my wife than anything. As I was prepping to leave to test out my fuel pump swap, my wife asked her if she wanted to go for a motorcycle ride with me. Her response was I guess so. I took her to the best curves close to us and ran a nice pace through them. When we got home, she said "dad those curves were fun". That setup today's 3hr ride over into Pennsylvania on a road that definitely is better than what we ran a couple weeks ago. When we got home she was smiling ear to ear. She now wants to try a 5-6hr ride with me down south. Now both my daughters enjoy riding with me and for some reason the wife doesn't seem to be as worried as she was in the past about me taking the girls. It's a blast taking my girls for rides and having them enjoy it as much as I do. Now I can give my wife the excuse that riding is quality daddy-daughter time. ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U now have a perfect set up for sibling rivalry That problem could be solved if the wife would started riding again. She could take 1 and I could take the other. On second thought that may not be wise. My guess is pace would be a bit slower than I would like. I think the answer is I just need to ride more often to keep both of them content.

MidgetTodd Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Back it down? It's just a dirt bike with street tires it doesn't even go fast lol that can be arranged. I loved it when my kid started riding with me. Now she's grown up and moved to college. Not daddy's little girl anymore. Most of my favorite rides were with her, her mother hated it though.

I'm still shocked she let me take the oldest to Deals Gap. I get what you're saying about those rides being your favorite. I presented the trip with Tory to Deals as her birthday gift last year. She references it as the best gift she ever got. Makes us both smile anytime we talk about it. I have a feeling it's going to be hard to watch them move away and grow up. Tory will turn 15 in November. Time seems to fly nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
