    I have five, four sons and a daughter, all grown up and away from home.

    They're all great kids. I think the proudest moment for me was when three sons and I were riding round the SI. We dismounted in Takaka, removed our helmets, and a passer-by exclaimed, "Shit, Dad and his three sons!"

    `

    we got 4, my oldest (13) figured out the clutch and gears for himself yesterday (so proud) before I knew it he had his foot out and all.
    First time on a full manual bike, for the first few tries I showed him the basics and gave him a shove, but then once he stalled it on the other side of the track and I took a while to get to him but to my astonishment there was a cloud of dust and he was off, I was soo proud, he got it started and moving all by him self (like he should)

    last thursday my youngest (5) got brave enough to give the pw50 a go, she was the earliest at everything, walking, talking, riding a bike with no training wheels, reading, winding up her brothers......... a result of being dragged along by the boys. now she can ride too, did 10min around the car park before the inevitable full throttle freakout combined with target fixation crash that we all have
    first ride, so freaky


    mr 8 about to get dusted by an elsinore


    lookit me I can do gears now

    Like so many have said, there are so many things....

    My boy Max is 6, has a great sense of humour and is more of a musical dude than a footie head. Watching him gettinig into music just blows me away every time.

    But for me, what really did it was his school report. The comments at the end basically said that he was a nice kid. That to me is everything, knowing that your child is regarded as one of the good guys. Life is so much easier if you can simply be nice to people.

    Oh, the time he called the Arsenal team manager a tosser was a proud moment for me as well.....

    With 6 kids aged 19-35 it would take me all day to tell you of our proudest moments.
    Suffice to say they are all hard working productive adults and great fun to be around!

    I just about died...I need some heart medication! But shit it's cool to see him so into it
