[QUOTE="oldryder, post: 965815, member: 13916"] 4 years ago my daughter turned 16 and I taught her to ride. I started her on a 250 ninja, first with several sessions at the high school parking lot learning basic operation, then the state sponsored motorcycle safety course, then her license test, and then many many rides that 1st summer with me coaching her. It was understood before we started that she would solo when I thought she was ready. She wanted to ride to school that fall and I refused. She wasn't happy. The 2nd summer she graduated to my TL1000R. Based on advice I got here we did several advanced riding classes (track instruction)on matching SV650's which were more fun than I can say. We also did a couple track days at a 2.5 mile road course. 1/2 way thru that summer she got my OK to solo and it was a lot less nerve wracking than I expected because I had developed considerable respect for her riding skills. That summer culminated in a trip to Yellowstone with her on the FJR and me and younger daughter on my GOldwing. The whole exercise was a wonderful father/daughter experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. [/QUOTE]
