I posted this over on the SD forum too.
My daughter came home for the weekend on Friday. She was going to a friend's Bridal shower on Saturday. I showed her the video that I had made the other day (see all about the ride). She says "Is that the only way I get a scooter ride?".
Saturday - She got home from the shower early and it was a reasonably nice day so I asked if she wanted to go for a ride. We suited her up in Mom's jacket and helmet and gloves. Did a couple trips around the neighborhood. I asked if she felt comfortable enough to do a main road. She tells me "no 45+ mph". We took off up past the shopping center and rode to the vo-tech. My wife suggested that we go there and that I let her try to ride by herself. I asked if she wanted to and she said "maybe". I had her watch while I did turns and figure 8's. I told her about "slow, look, press and roll". I was impressed. She did a really good job. She had ridden the old 150 in the driveway and backyard but this was the first time with the Xpeed. She rode for about 15 minutes then we headed home. She had a landmark day - 1st ever 2 up ride and 1st time operating a 250.
And darn it - I forgot my camera!
She told her mom that she really enjoyed it. She was low 5'ing other riders and quite comfy back there. Weather permitting, we may try again the next time she's home.
