Mike: Enjoy the day with your daughter. They grow up way to quick. But they still like to ride even then

Road trips with your kid on the back are fantastic, enjoy yourselves BTW I recommend she takes her ipod or something

What a day! My kid enjoyed herself.....except for her sore butt! I rode the tbird which was totally decked out with all the bells and whistles,the thing was a monster ,it handled well but certainly not as well as my america. Then it was onto the Tiger abs,OMG,,,,,that thing was like flying 2 inches off the ground. The finally was the biggy,my dream bike the speed triple,I was a bit cramped on it and the fit wasn't near as good for me as the tiger but it was dream come true to ride.Keeping the front end down was on my mind but I'm not little so it was very controllable for me.I do believe the tiger is my next bike

No she wasn't able to go along but she honestly wouldn't have wanted to. The dealership has a really nice riders lounge with free ice cream and a big screen,she chilled up there in the ac while I rode my silly bikes. We went out for dinner and hung out at the hotel pool the rest of the eve. Its supposed to be a nice day tommorow for our ride back.

She doesn't really need the sissy bar for our normal 10 minute runs and I seldom have the need for luggage.I did use it last night for a beer run though.
