2006 Kawasaki KFX400, she has never ridden before other than in a side by side and a few times driving the side by side....

Here she is, not too bad considering she didnt know what a clutch was...

Im thinking im totally ok with that....

Nice, although I feel a bit queasy after spinning around that many times. When are you taking the training wheels off?

[jwm2k3]

Lol @ the training wheels. She has expressed interest in a dirt bike, so who knows?


Best part of this whole thing....(heres the sob story)....as some of you may remember, Im divorced a few years ago. This ATV is Stephanie's, my girlfriend. So riding has brought me closer to my teenage daughter, and its made a bond between my daughter and my girlfriend. They are quite friendly now and it really makes me feel good...

Awesome! My boy has been riding his own since he was 5, my daughter about 10 (although she rode on the back of mine since she was a baby). Now he's on a Grizzly 125, she's on a AC 250, and they both LOVE to ride. ATV'ing is an awesome 'family' activity - nurture that...

There's a handful of campgrounds in the North Country with cabin rentals and direct trail access. I'd highly suggest planning a weekend next summer ATV'ing. You can now get temporary OHRV reg's in NH for just such an occasion!

Have fun!

We were up in North Stratford for a few nights and a few riding days. We rented a cabin up there, had a blast. This was our 4th weekend this summer as a 'family' activity up either in Berlin/Gorham or Stratford riding the ATV's. The kid loves it, my girl loves it, I love it. Perfect!

That's awesome! I've spent quite a few weekends up in the area. Awesome trail systems up there, although Jericho itself was pretty lame...

We're fortunate that we live in an area with plenty of trails too, not to mention our woodlots...

I am on a mission as of late, speaking with selectmen in surrounding towns, some of the local state reps & senators, positive response so far, maybe get some incentives for landowners to open up to wheeled vehicle trails and get some of the town roads open for ohrv use like up north, we are missing out on part of the economy that is spending money trailering 3 hours north when we have similar potential here

is this true for bikes as well?

Yes. OHRV = Off Highway Recreational Vehicle. Sleds, ATV's, SxS's, dirtbikes, etc...

Be certain to point out to land owners that contrary to popular belief, they CANNOT get sued for damages if they leave their property open for mixed use. They'll also qualify for a discount on their property taxes if it's open for recreational use. I'm guessing you already know this though...

I did it last year. I think it was good for 10 days. I also think it was not much cheaper than the full year sticker.
