After I, or I should say "we" (my wife and I) got our bike, a 2008 Blue FZ6, I drive, she rides on the back, it took a while to convince my daughter to go on a little ride with me. Finally she gave in and we just went on a short, 15 minute ride. A few weeks later, she was in a rotten mood so my wife convinced her to go on a "real" ride, we went about 150 miles that day. She rode with me and my wife rode with one of my buddies on his Honda CBR600. When we were done with our ride, my daughter pops up and says she had so much fun that she's going to take the safety course and buy her own bike. She signed up for the course that day. She makes a dad proud. The only thing though, which isn't all that bad, I guess, is that she wants a Harley looking type of bike and the one she has pretty much made up her mind for is the Honda Shadow, Spirit 750. I tried my best to talk her into a sport bike but she says that all of those are too tall for her. She does have short legs. I even suggested the Yamaha FZ6R, but she likes the "BADASS" (according to her) look. Now, all I have to do is get my son a bike. He really wants one (a sport bike) but has no money yet. It'll be nice when the whole family can go far a ride together.
