RE: young riders
Some say their feet need to reach the footpegs. My daughter has been riding with me since she was 8 and her feet did not reach the pegs. She just kicked them up on the saddlebags. She is 9 now and just did a 200 mile run with me a few weeks ago.

RE: young riders
I don't ride '2-up' when out on the highway....
With that being said, I have given a couple of kids (teenagers) a quick ride around the block, and if I had to give someone a ride out on the highway it wouldn't be with anyone under the age of 18.
If there happened to be an accident or something I wouldn't want the legal guardians of a minor coming after me with some kind of lawsuit.
At least if they are 18 or over they are considered adults and can make their own decision about riding on the back of a bike.

RE: young riders
I read the question wrong too. So you can take one vote and change it from 7-9 years to 18 and over. Girls younger than that will get you in trouble.

RE: young riders
My parents would take me when i was 5 but i would sit infront of my dad if it was just him or between my parents if it was both (I would fall asleep). And my brother goes and he is only 6. I started riding when I was 18 and im 21 now.

RE: young riders
I started riding on the back of my Dad's bike when I was 4.......my son started riding with me on my Sporty this year, and he's 9. It took some convincing to get him on it, but now he gets mad if we take the car anywhere...."But son, we can't put groceries on the Harley."
