Not good at all, get him his own little off road bike for starters. Hell, they even make them with training wheels. The results of this wouldn't be good if he met one of our State Troopers here in the mountain state.

That boy knows what he's doing. I bet he rides his own dirt bike. Pretty sure that's not his first time behind the bars. And I'm sure pop could have taken control back quick enough if needed.
I did the same thing with my 90 year old aunt. Pretty much the same thing, except the boy did a better job! Regardless, it made my aunts day! She's never stop talking about it. I'm sure it meant a lot to the boy as well.

Super long smooth straight away with no oncoming traffic, not sure you could have found a better place. That kid knew immediately what he was doing. The second his little hand touched the throttle I could tell that. I don't see how this is more dangerous than having the kid ride his own bike (which I'm sure he does from the looks of it) I'd say it's safer since his father can take over at any time.
Nice work on the full-face. Maybe some leathers though.
Girls gonna go crazy for that kid.

An unnecessary risk, with no learning experience of any value whatsoever for the child (no application of clutch, front or rear brake, with no turns, stops, use of directionals, etc.), and for nothing other than some YouTube footage. Sure the road was empty, but that could have change pretty quickly with the sudden and unannounced appearance of a road critter, a kamikaze bird, a huge gust of wind/sand...
I hope the owner of the bike doesn't come home one day to find a motorcycle and kid shaped hole through the garage wall and into the living room of his house, because the kid had some haired brained idea that he knew how to ride a motorcycle

Interesting reactions from you guys. Did you notice the child's reaction when they were approaching the populated area? Slowing down and giving his dad a questioning look?

Definitely not the reactions I would have expected either.
