Motorcycles and kids?

[GunTroll]

Any of you motor dads out there? How old did you wait till you took your kid out on the bike? Like in the neighborhood. NOT highway.

[earplug]

Make the kid work to move any machine. Too easy to get fat and slow with a engine.
My kid has to much energy to give him any powered vehicle.
BMX is a option if you need to get some speed.

[GunTroll]

I'm implying about taking him for rides. Don't worry I work him for what he's worth at age TWO.

[gnihcraes]

just do it like this... I assume as a passenger not driver.

[ROFL1] Nasty! Poor kid stuffed in there. You can hardly see him/her.

[gnihcraes]

Yeah, parents have helmets, but the kid? is it really going to matter they are protecting the kid if they go down...

Great niece was about 4, before her mom would let me take her around the corner. (out of mom's sight) Just a couple of block on the backstreet. She was about 6 when I took her to school.

I was 4 or 5 when my dad took me around for rides. sometimes with both me and my sister on the bike.

as for getting them on their own dirtbike...I know people who have had kids on dirtbikes before they could ride a real bike...basically when they learned how to walk, they were on a dirtbike.

I took my daughter when she was 3-4 around the back yard on my dirtbike with her between me and the tank holding the cross bar.. just slow laps. she had a blast.


but on the back? not unless there was a back rest and they're old enough to be able to hold on to you/bike. probably 11 for my daughter on the back of my bike..

Dirt bike idea for the kid is a good idea. I probably would have done 7-8 on the back with a helmet, had the ex agreed.

[Great-Kazoo]

she was always on the back, before she was born! wife rode witrh me until her 8th month, then she was uncomfortable sitting on the pea pad i had for her.

And before the next poll
She went shooting @ age 10

When mine can support their own weight (strength wise), then I will take them out. My Dad had me on his Harley when I was 6-7. He was also poppin wheelies though, so I don't give him much credit on the brains side. I would go crazy if I did anything to hurt my kids.

A good fried has a Road King and got his 11 year old a helmet & Moto-X riding jacket with pads. They go from here to Estes all the time with no issue.

3-4 yrs old I started in our neighborhood, then little trips to the store. I used to get dirty looks at the moms at school, but not now.[ROFL1] Now they ride 15-20 mile trips, I worry they might fall asleep If I took them on longer trips. Overall they love motorcycles and guns.[Beer]

WTF??????[ROFL2]

[car-15]

i got my son a 4 wheeler when he was 6, and a dirt bike at 7.

[GunTroll]

Yea I plan on getting him all sorts of fossil fuel burning shit when the time comes but this question was more geared to taking him for rides to get him into moto. To be honest I have allready taken him out in the neighbor hood a few times but get weird looks from the neighbors. HE holds the bars and wears a peddle bike helmet with glasses. He just loves it! So I'll keep taking him. And I only git a street legal dirt bike 400cc. No hog!


And Sixgun, I love the pictures. I love them even more because I know some lib somewhere is turning blue with anger and disgust! Kids and "assault rifles"! Hell yeah! Only thing that could be better than that is maybe kids with "assault rifles" wearing conservative parifanila thats got a pro gun statement on their shirt while riding on a motorcycle. Lets see if you can post one of them????

[twitchyfinger]

WTF??????[ROFL2]

NO kidding Colorado luckydog this retard is dumber than a box of rocks!!!

EDITED: due to having more respect for this site than I do for you!!!

As to the real question here if you are old enough to hold on you are old enough to ride!!!

Nice standard sixgun!!!
[Muaha]

[GunTroll]

WOW^. Maybe he's a bit granola when it comes to gas power but lets take it easy.

I here you on the physical demanding part of moto X. I've been in moto one way or another since 6 I think. Nothing easy or lazy about it.

[twitchyfinger]

I have been fighting that problem with ignorant people all my live ever since I started riding. It really gets to me when a dumb ass posts something like that! It almost like saying anyone who owns a gun is a lazy ass criminal who is afraid to defend themselves by more traditional means like calling the cops instead of taking matters into there own hands. Alright now start the flaming all of you since I just open a can of worms he just hit a sore spot that really gets me hot under the collar!

[GunTroll]

[ROFL1] You'll get none from me!

[HunterCO]

Been riding since i was a child and will do so for ever. If I had a kid or should I say side car my child would ride to hell and back with me. Keep riding hard and keep the rubber side down.

I rode for more than 20 years before I had my first street bike wreck (had many dirt bike wrecks). All of the training and experience I had just left me with the realization that "No way out; Im going to wreck". They say that it's not a matter of if you have a wreck, but when. When when comes, first you say it, then you do it ("OH SH!T").

After coming to in the trauma center @ Colo Spr Memorial Hosp, I decided that I'd quit riding because there are just too many crazy car drivers out there who dont give a hoot about anyone else on the road - especially motorcyclists.


If I can give one piece of advice - get and wear good safe riding gear (boots, jacket, full-face helmet). I was in uniform on my way to work when my accident occured. Lots of things busted up and one hell of a concussion, but if it weren't for the full-face, I wouldn't be here.

SIXGUN: Great pics!
