RE: Took him for his 1st ride!
Both of my kids (9 and 11) have started riding in the last couple of months and love it.
Now when they do something good at school that they were having trouble with, they get a ride to school on the bike.

That's one reason I started riding, so someday I can take one of them.

Cool! My 10 year old asks me to ride all the time. His mom won't have it though. She'll let me ride him down the street and back and sometimes even to his baseball practices but that's it. And I respect her wishes because, if anything ever did happen, I'd be dead if the crash didn't kill me.
Funny, though, she thinks nothing of it when he jumps on his CRF-80 and tears around the neighborhood and dirt paths or gets on my Kawi 360 ATV and does the same things.

First off, Kudos, Sir (FXDC Rider)on your creation of a new generation of motor cycle enthusiasts.
Those moments are priceless.
I can relate, Greg.
My (mid-life-crisis) bike-buy almost made me a single man.
The wife only rarely(twice so far)let's my son ride with me.
Almost like she's trying to punish me.....
But it doesn't stop her from occasionally wanting to go for a ride, though.....[&:]

My son is only 2, but all he talks about it daddy's motorcycle and helmet. Drives his mom and grandma NUTS!!!
I remember riding with my dad and I can't wait to take him when he's old enough.

Yar my son is 12... on his first ride (against his mothers wishes) i took it pretty easy until we got behind a semi and some traffic, went out to pass and he let out a big "woohooo!!" I wont forget that... i knew at that moment... he was loving it... as was I just to know that he enjoyed it so much. It was a moment that i wont forget.
