Just to let you know as well. A lot of people will give you grief over this. My personal feeling is, I can ride, and be as safe as I can, and put proper gear on him and that risk is as minimal as it can be, and I can accept it, he knows it and knows at 9 it is dangerous but really likes riding, his mother knows it, knows I am not an asshole and rides with me all the time and has been in holy shit situations in traffic and knows I can avoid everything but a drunk red light running driver (they tend not to be on the road the time of day I ride with my son) and I usually can avoid them too. Motorcycles are dangerous and some people will think you are a horrible person for taking her on a ride. I just ingnore those people and politley go on my way.
