Title: as if the fever isn't bad enough.......
Post by: jserio on April 16, 2008, 10:14:55 PM
okay, so most of you on here by now know i'm a new rider who still doesn't own a bike yet. and have once again this spring had to put off the purchase for something a little more important. it was a house this time so no regrets really. except that i want to ride! anyways. my middle daughter will be 3 in august. and i think i've rubbed off on her. we can't go anywhere there is a motorcycle without her wanting to stop and look at it. she screams out loud, "motorcycle daddy! motorcycle! me buy that one for you!" it's so cute! she even turns the channel to speed tv, looking for anything that has to do with bikes. my wife said she shoulda been a boy. copies almost everything i do. ah, gotta love the kids! i am really looking forward even more to buying a bike now. becuase now, i know i've got someone to share that bond with, the passion.  :icon_mrgreen:

That's gotta be a cool feeling, especially having a daughter like that. I can't imagine. Now take her up on that offer to buy you a bike!  :cheers:

i'd like to! i asked her how much she thinks they cost: "mmmm....200 daddy."  :laugh: that's better than the oldest said when she was younger. i asked her once when she was about 2 how much she thought a motorcycle cost: "mmm....4 dollars".  :laugh: :laugh: geez, i'll take a new bike from either of my girls!  :laugh:

it is the coolest feeling in the world when one of your children shows as much passion as you do about a subject. especially if it's more than just a passing intrest. it's something they are really, really into. and you can tell. it's awesome to see her face light up everytime we see a bike. and you know, she's not biased. she likes em all. as long as they got 2 wheels!  :thumb:
