My daughter asked me if we could put a sidecar on my DR. I showed her pictures of Urals and she wants us to sell our car and buy one. Not going to happen, but it's cool that she thinks it would be fun. Your six year old might come around.
Here is a photo from 2003 with my youngest daughter and I on our way to the Georgia Mountain Rally...and the next is from January of this year, exploring some forest service roads on the Tiger...she still loves riding with dad... Daughters, gotta love'm...and I have 3!
My daughter got into riding a few years ago (as did I). She started out on a GSF500 and has moved up to an SV650S and our "shared" DL650. She showed, early a real knack for the bike and rides every chance she gets. She has her eye on my Blackbird (only a matter of time I am afraid) but really enjoys the Wee for camping and hiking. She has accompanied me on 2 trips to Spain, NZ, and this fall to Eastern Europe. We also ride quite a bit together locally. I cherish the time we have together and a common interest in riding enhances the chances. This picture is from our first trip to the Pyrenees.
Here's my girl (7) on a Ducati Hyper-somethingorother. She came with me (and four of my buddies) to a motorcycle show last weekend and had an absolute blast. This shot was with one of the "Ducati Princesses" who offered to pose with her as she tried out each one of the bikes. Some of them twice.

Home on a break from college, permit in pocket, grinning and almost ready to ride - just need to adjust the mirror a bit (about 180 degrees): Following me: 50 break and still grinning ear to ear in spite of cold fingers: On the road: End of the ride (still ginning):
