350Xhilaration

I talked my wife into going riding. I taught her how to ride on the Banshee. She did great!!!
The older daughters rode their quads and the youngest rode on the back with me on the 350X.
We took a break for a bit and the middle daughter tried out her older sister's DS90 and the youngest learned a bit on the TRX70.
Then my oldest daughter said "Hey, Can I ride this one?" as she sits on my Banshee.
I said "Sure!!" and took a few minutes going over some stuff as I did with my wife. I climbed on back and guided her through the clutch and brakes and stuff. She did great, too!!
She REALLY liked when the Banshee came on the pipes (as I was in control in 1st gear while she was in front of me.) She wanted to try it, so I said go ahead, ease into it and when it sounds like it does right before it's ready to scream, get ready. She did that a few times and got all giddy.
I am thrilled that I actually got my wife out to ride. She's very outdoors-y, but she's never really shown any interest in riding. I hope I don't lose my Banshee now. I think she had a really good time. She was able to start it on a hill and pull out after she stalled all by herself.
I only got one pic from my camera phone, but have to head out now to a basketball tournament.
Just thought I'd share.
