Should this be encouraged
My daughter last night out of the blue announced that she fancies the idea of having a bike.
She knows the score in that she has to do a CBT, and is limited to 125 unless she wants to do a DAS or pass her test and 2 years on 33 horses. Should this attitude be encouraged, remembering she was the individual who hid my keys one rainy afternoon to make sure I stayed in DIYing. and then sodded off to Thailand for 3 months without telling me about the keys. And if she does pass her DAS she will want my bike........... Hmmm justification for a return to the dark side. keep SV for her and Blade for me.

See - i sit nicely on the fence - don't encourage her but don't discourage her!!
Tell her if she wants to do it she'll have to buy her own bike!

Don't do either - just be supportive with her choice.

I said 'no' to encourage, but if she wants to learn give her all the help & support you can - I was told 'I couldn't get a bike' by my parents, so I went behind their back & got one anyway... Much better to be in the know, than not IMHO

Definately. I got three kids and would love nothing more than to see each and all of 'em on two wheels! Imagine the sound when we all set out for a family ride....YEAH!

No. Let her choose her own path in life. If she chooes biking then encourage and advice, if she doesnt, then get her to pack her bags and leave imediately
 ...seriously, if she dont, then fine, leav her be.

No. Let your daughter live her life and make her choices.
