I can hardly wait to share some (s)miles with her.  We're already planning our ride  Razz

Congrats to her (and you). Smile

There is some great riding up in your area.  As a matter of fact, I will be passing through this week from San Francisco on my way into NV and then south on 395.  Maybe I will see you two out there.

ps: Looking forward tp a bowl of chili at Reds 395!

Congratulations to her!  Welcome to the "Worry Club" to you!  I've been a member for 7 years now! My son got his motorbike license when he was 14 but at least in Germany they have a graduated license system.

Congrats to you and her.  Thumbsup Aside from a lack of gloves it looks like she's going about it the smart way (geared up). I assume she has gloves and just didn't put them on for the pic based on the rest of the gear she's wearing. Anyway, it's good to see a kid approaching riding in a responsible manner.  Thumbsup

My boys are 6 and 3(4 next month) so I have a long time to wait before I get a ridding buddy. My oldest did get his first taste of 2 wheels this weekend though. He rode my niece's electric scooter (think step through, not kick scooter). It was a hideous pink monstrocity but the smile on his face said that the color didn't dampen the experience for him.  Bigsmile I've been scouring craigslist ever since for a little dirtbike, much to his Mom's dismay   Lol .

That will be my daughter in about 9 more years. I have mixed feelings about it.

My hats off to you for being a supporting dad!

My daughter has expressed an interest a few times over the years. Gotta admit... I have gently discouraged the idea.   Embarassment

Very cool!  Congrats.   Bigok

I bought my oldest daughter a dirt bike when she turned 10.  She is 16 now and still loves to ride.

That looks like a lot older model than a 2001.  More like an 80's.

Its a ZX6 Ninja (AKA ZZR) not a ZX6R. Nice bike and congrats to the OP. Worry Club, yes indeed.

On a side note, I'm not sure if you rode it much, but those ZX6's are _excellent_ street bikes. If it's sound, it's completely worth fixing up (suspension etc.) if she likes it. I had one of those and a contemporary VFR at the same time for a while, and I liked the Kaw better. I know...blasphemy.

(and I loved the VFR)
