Topic: Got my daughter a bike for Christmas

[Jay B]

Yesterday was my 12 year old daughters big day. We got her a '00 XR100R for Christmas. She's shown a LOT of interest in bikes for a while now. She was floored when she saw it. Man I was proud of her. She's spent a lot of time on 4 wheelers and her cousin's dirt bikes, but never one with a manual clutch. I went over the bike with her, and she hasn't killed the motor even once! We were talking last night, and I told her that when she is old enough for her permit she can take a riders safety course, and the 350f will be hers to ride to go on rides with me. This is gonna be a lot of fun, should be a great way to spend time with her doing something we both enjoy.

It's very cool that she picked up the clutch so quickly, and what an excellent way to spend time with your daughter.

That's awesome!  I really hope when my wife and I have kids that they are interested in bikes when they get to that age.  Although I don't know how she's going to feel about that!

Good job dad, you'll no doubt be the coolest guy in town for a long while!

No kids myself but that brings back memories..

First bike for me was a XL100 Honda.

Sent my 16 yr old niece to the MSF course.

Very cool sir!
