Leave the scratches and thank her for the memory as she most likely thought she was helping daddy some how.

 

When my daughter was 3 years old she saw her first live clown at a carnival. She love the clown and talked about it for days. I asked her if she wanted to be a clown and she said yes until she saw herself in the mirror.

 

When one of our daughters was young she decided she wanted to do something nice for my wife for mother's day. She washed the car with an SOS pad. We do laugh about it now :-)

 

Just a constant reminder of your little one as you ride. Enjoy.

 

My little girl will be 17 soon . It goes by way to fast . If it was my bike , that would be my favorite scratch on it .

 

my girl is 27, getting married
I wish she was young enough to help me polish my gas tank

 

Kind of reminds me when I was young and putting fresh cut grass in my fathers brand new John Deer tractors gas tank.

 

Gotta love em!

Bikes are great, but time passes so fast I would cherish this and laugh about it later.
I know frustrating but she was helping daddy. My grandson has little tennis shoe marks and little hand prints all over mine, and we sit on it every day! I feel for you but wish I was in your shoes and my kids were little again. God I miss that.

 

Not on a cycle but... Grandad was an auto body guy. Really good at it. Restored vehicles in our back garage. When my uncle was a kid he saw grandpa working a hammer and dolly over a few dings in body panels and decided to help out with his own hammer. Grandpa chased a few dents until he realized what was happening.

Later, when I was a kid, got in trouble when I did a hood slide like Luke Duke across Grandpa's '67 Camaro RS. The rivets in wranglers were pretty rough on the recently restored and painted hood. (oops!) My butt got painted with a belt shortly after!!!
