Riding with the kids is cool. My son (17) picked up an 883 Low in April so we've spent the last month getting his feet wet. He took the MSF course and is now acclimating himself to public roads. Here are a few pics from his first official "day ride". He's already got a summer full of rides planned for us. Should be fun!

Pics are coming, he ordered a bunch of mods and his mom won't let him take delivery until he completes the safe rider course, (which he is scheduled for). I'll have the pics up in a few days when the new pipes/ac etc are installed. It's actually a pretty sharp bike.

Yup my son is registered too.We won't let him ride alone until he takes it,although all he wants to do right now is ride with us.Security blanket?
Either way I'm not complaining.
