So, as some of you may know, I have been blessed with 4 daughters and no sons! 
However, three out of my four girls love bikes, and Tonya and I are fortunate to be able to share riding with them. I have twin 10 year olds, and Alison is defenatly the "racer" of the pack, and has actually a 5th place finish in a Provincial 50cc race to her credit! Our five year old will be riding the PW this summer and she is just itching to get going.
Well, the twins are getting a bit big on the XR70, and I was able to find a really nice deal on a pretty nice CRF100, so we went ahead and bought it. Its really nice because, even though it will be a little while til the girls grow into it, we now have another bike, and my wife can ride it too! ( she used to ride with me and my buddies all the time about 11 years ago, but we sold her bike when we were expecting the twins ).
All the girls were pretty happy to get the "new" bike, and I am looking forward to our first ride together. Can't wait

Do they watch the races with you?
And no, no ballet or figure skating yet, they are more into soccer and Girl Guides.

I promised the wife no bike till he is 6. Dude is riding his Strider balance bike like a champ though.
Totally stoked for you & your family. Now, if you can get your other daughter into Engineering/Mechanical stuff? You'd be DIALED!
lol
I gotta show mine off too. I have a 20 month old little girl that started at 1 pound 10 ounces. Put her on an oset the other day and just rolled her around. She knew from her toy at home how to twist the throttle. Mom rides a ttr230. I have a 7 month old son that will be joining in soon I hope.
she's been riding her pedal bike w/o the training wheels since she was 31/2
-- but either jumps on her balance bike or 12in bike or her new 16in hotrock
sizing up the quad at a local bmx track back in feb
on her smaller bike
mom says no dirt bikes yet, but you should see her when she hops on a 50 at the dealers
Pit Row
Although she's not so little, she started late. She started following Supercross with me at 15. She started riding. My favorite picture of all time of her is the one where she is standing without the bike. Father's Day when she was 16. Took her to Corral Canyon in San Diego and she kept crashing on the tight trails, but wasn't going to disappoint her Daddy. So we rode up to the ranger lookout station and took pictures. One of my best/favorite riding days ever!
It starting to bite my family. My three year old daughter is the most enthused, wont miss a Supercross, or a day at the track with Dad. Riding a PW with training wheels now. Keeps telling she wants to ride at "Lornetta's house" she cant quite get the name right but I can only assume its the same Loretta that she hears her siblings talk about...
Napper, I get a kick out of the last pic at the start of the thread. Reminds me of my best friend's now 7 year old daughter. Her mom asked her what she wanted for her 5th birthday, to which she replied she wanted a monster truck (a real one). Since that wasn't an option, she asked me about dirt bikes, and I of course recommended a PW50. She's been to ride in our yard a few times wearing her full riding gear with a skirt over it. Funny kid.
Pretty sure once we have kids, ours will be in to bikes too, boys or girls.
