Ok - from my perspective as a father of a 7 year old who loves Daddy's motorcycle... I only let her ride around the block with me. That's about all the attention span she has. Does my wife like it? Not much. But that's her. So where do you draw the line? 10 years old? 12? 6? For me, so long as the kids got a helmet that actually fits and can reach the pegs/floorboards (and keep is/her feet planted on them) it should be ok.

From my perspective as a divorced father with joint custody of our 13 year old daughter: You got to tread lightly. I've bent on a number of issues just to prevent things from getting nasty. Not that I thought I was wrong... it just wasn't a major issue and it was better to avoid having a big conflict over it. Then again, if she's just looking for an opportunity to be a b!tch, telll her to go pound sand up her a$$.

As far as kids on bikes... both of my nephews were racing dirtbikes by the time they were 6. They had 3 and 4 wheelers when they were 4. Granted, I thought that was a bit young, but my sister and brother-in-law called those shots, and both of them are pretty dang good riders, now.
