Dad & Daughter go on their first ride together, what a moment it was for me.

After waiting for this moment since her birth, it finally happened. We we went on out first ride together. It started when in the middle of a tedious chore (washing my cars) I thought I'm going to see if her feet could reach the foot pegs on my Honda Blackbird CBR1100XX. To my surprise they both rested on them perfectly. My little girl was ready to experience the open road on two wheels.
I just had to tie up some loose ends and we were off.
I was a little apprehensive, thinking that she would start to freak out around the corner from my home and that I would either have to return or call her mother to come and pick her up. Boy was I wrong. We first went around the block just to test the waters. She wanted to go further. We rode about 4km away and stopped at a harbour and all she wanted to do was go further, she suggested we head off to Sydney which was an hour and a half away. She loved riding on the bike, she was the perfect pillion, leaning with dad on the corners, holding on tight and not fidgeting at all.
My life just got better.
