Well both riding anyway, Sophie is already beyond beginner stage but isn't as fired up as Grace.
Racing isn't on the near horizon, but who knows where this will all lead... I'm just going along for the ride (so to speak)
Definitely a cool family pastime......

Good stuff clmintie.

My little girl (now 8) loves her pee wee. And my 5yo twin boys are just getting into riding it now too. Makes for a great family day out. Now I have to buy another peewee and something a little bigger for Miss8. Maybe a TTR50E.

She sees it as a worthwhile activity.. Dad and daughters enjoying each others company, not just while riding, but all the cleaning and mechanical stuff as well. She can ride pretty well, but prefers to have time off from the kids while we go riding. At least they're not hanging out with thugby louts... (her words...)

Ready to take on the world.......

As you can see, we're much more into dirt bikes than gardening, although there is the opportunity for a bit of 'Pirelli plowing round the petunias'....:laugh:

I couldn't resist it and had a little ride around the section (quite a big section...) on the 85 :Oi: It has got the nicest gearbox, silky smooth and effortless... The whole bikes very well put together, feels solid and have to wonder how they get that much power and flexibility from such a tiny piston..... we are happy campers..... :woohoo:

We are fortunate to have some very nice friends north of Kaukapakapa..... Spent the day on their farm in glorious weather, the girls just rode and rode on a little track I marked out. The KX is a perfect match for Grace who has come to grips with it very fast and Sophie loves the CRF.... Friends put on a cool BBQ for lunch to go with the banana cake Grace made for them.... Life is good......Lots of high fives all round....
