The younger the better, or how to corrupt your Grandson!

[Edbear]

Sorry, couldn't resist showing how much my 8 month old Grandson likes his Grandpa's bike!

Think he kinda siuts it don't you?

[Mr. Peanut]

I think he's trying to be polite. Thanks but no thanks, I don't ride Suzukis.

Seriously he will so much better on Mrs Edbear's new bike...

Especially if it is that VIRAGO:love: that she was eyeing up on Trade me tonight...

[merv]

Yeah looking good.

[riffer]

Tee hee.

Good on ya. Our Nicholas, who is 20 months old, has now progressed to riding pillion on trips around the property. Tim, who's 7 this week, has pillioned happily a few times now, including a fun ride over Wallaceville Hill to Maymorn and back.

Start them young is always a good plan. That way, by the time their mother lets you take them out they'll now what to do. Much safer that way.

Nice work.
My grandfather built me my first bike when I was 2.
Chainsaw powered rigid apparently. I don't recall anything but burning myself on it.
Look where it's got me......errr......maybe not.

Okay, I'll cancel the chainsaw, but my company just happens to sell these cute little bikes that I can get at staff rates....:innocent:

haha! that youngin is to cute! get him on a honda though!

hey riffer, how do you transport the younglings? a special seat on the back or something?

[riffer]

With the littlest feller, he sits in between me and the tank, and holds on to the tank. Remember, its just going around the house so I don't ever go above a walking pace.

As for Tim, he reaches the pegs fine, and holds on very tight. Its been a slow process, starting with going around the house, then down the end of the street and back, and then slowly around the block so he gets the idea of how the bike leans, and a lot of talking about pillioning and what he needs to be doing on the bike.

It helps that he's been around bikes all his life. He's a skilled bicycle rider for his age, and races BMX (he's currently doing Under 7s Sprocket racing), and that he's nuts about motorcycles.

And thanks also must go to Frosty and Baby Bikie, who showed Gini that it's possible for a kid to be safely pillioned on a bike. Although Gini's still very apprehensive about having one so small on the back of a big bike, she also grew up in a bike household (father was a motorcycle traffic cop and brother raced motocross) and trusts that I would never do anything that would put him in harms way.

He has good taste...it is a Suzuki

[awesker]

good stuff riffer! thats awesome!

I bet they love it! I remember my dad working on his old ducatis when I was little helping him help with tools and things, then me and my sis got a pw50! after learning how to use it safely (bar a few rouge trees) it was some of the best fun I had!
