As stated, MOST dealer events are family friendly. Contrary to most, this is a good thing. Getting the youngins introduced to motorcycles as children in a positive manner builds positive memories for them as they grow up. The children if today are the riders of tomorrow. We all constantly bitch about how the new generation doesn't ride, drive, work, or really any of the things we as adults do, and enjoy. Pulling the kids from the electronic babysitter and taking them to a free hotdogs event at the dealers does just this. Best part is, that most parents and grandparents that ride also know how to parent, and keep the youngins in check and respectful. If more of us took it upon ourselves to introduce, rather than exclude the next generation or two into riding, perhaps we wouldn't have the constant threads on how nobody is buying or riding anymore
Well said!

The way things have gotten with the motorcycle "scene" these days I would imagine that most all dealer hosted events would be suitable for kids. As far as places like Daytona if you think it's wild now you should have been there when it was a biker event and not a two wheel Disney World.
Lol, yeah, I try to avoid the "family friendly" events, which is nearly all of them.
If you use a smart phone, there is an app called “Ideas Motors” that lists all kinds of events. You can set it for your local area or as wide an area as you like. It gives the location and a brief description.
Hear is a screenshot. You can click on an event for more detail.

F*ck that! Keep the ankle bracelet - it's like having one of these for free.
