Picked this 250ex up for my youngest (13yo) daughter last Friday. We've ridden little, weather is crap. Monday was her birthday so I picked her up early from school and we rode in the rain and mud and got soaked to the bone, had a great time. No pics, we were too messy to get in the house to camera. She LOVES it! She was getting sideways in the mud, drifting like a pro, and jumping it already, baby jumps, but air nonetheless. Can't wait for better weather and more riding time together!

That is always nice to see. I am looking for a small go cart for my 5 year old daughter to learn to drive with before christmas but things are looking slim. Here in 8 to 10 years we will be doing the same thing you are now. Good job, dad!

i cant wait till i can ride with my daughter. shes only 21 months old but she calls it a vroom vroom. i can see her riding with me in 8 years or so. she sits on it and plays while i polish and such. im a single dad now and its good to see other men being men and doing things for/with their kids. not all men are deadbeats!

time to get a tyco for the youngins. 2 yrs old is plenty to get them on a small one that they can push around the house if it is small enough to just sit on and turn the wheels.

bingo. perfect size to start them cruising around the house. tell them not to hit the walls or they will be painting. lol I had a small red one like the first link when i was about 2. i rode it around the house and all. then i got a yellow one, after i got big enough i started riding the moto-4 80cc. moved to a blaster at 12-13. then got into dirtbikes for a while. got out of that and got a 250 ex, then moved to a 400 when i was 15. i have had that since 03 when i got it. steve

RCWells, good job there.
I just picked up a trx90 for my 8yo daughter last spring.
We have shared a few good rides together. Her second time out, we did a 10 mile loop, and 2 weeks later, we did a 20 mile loop.
I have as much fun cruising with her, as I do tearing it up with the big boys.
I can't wait for march/april to get here !!! I've got a feeling that she will be taking over my wifes 250ex by next summer !

Daddy-Daughter rides are the BEST !!!

I would love nothing more, but I work this weekend. I am so hoping the next one's weather is good. I'm really looking forward to Springtime and doing some camping as well.

Thanks for all the comments guys and yes, being a single/divorced dad can be tough. I sold a bunch of my high dollar guns and knives to buy those two ATVs. Now I have 3 of them so my older daughter can ride the Rubicon (it's an auto and she's not good with vehicles, can't shift, etc.), and we can all go ride together. I am really looking forward to all the good times we're gonna have together.
