Looks like he's hooked! I remember my first ride with my dad on his bike in the 70s. Thanks for sharing.

That look is priceless.

Before you know it you'll be looking at new bikes together.

That's one happy little guy right there. He'll be nagging you for rides now until you buy him his first bike.

My grandson still can't quite reach the pegs, but he loves the sidecar rig I got a couple years ago. Let him have the driver's seat last month on a one lane dirt farm road, and now he's asking for more. Not on pavement, or anywhere with cars, though. Still some years ahead before he rides a Harley, though he has had a very brief full throttle off the line sitting in front of me on a cul de sac; he loved the acceleration. It's going to be a real thrill for your boy when you pick him up at school someday. The last day of school last year, his Mom went with me to pick up my grandson; 3 generations on 3 wheels. If only I could spare about $8,000 to put a quality sidecar on my Tour Glide....
