Since having kid(s), do you find you are more cautious whilst riding your bike?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Ive pretty much ridden the same, kids or not.
But Casey Stoner is definitely buckling to early fatherhood syndrome.

That he is. Scott Dixon also made mention of it (being a bit more cautious) after his first born.Originally Posted by sidecar bob

Yep, definitely, I done some growing up right across the board when I stepped up to the new role.

I think I ride in granny pop socks now... Should not have made a difference (if you are riding sensibly and properly you shouldn't need to change) but it did.

A few years ago I crashed on the beach w/o helmet. Ended up in hospital with 7 broken ribs and punctured lunge. (Tried to sleep it off, but would not work...). Already had my 4 boys then. The adjustment I have done is not to crash on the beach anymore, apart from that not much change.

My kids are both parents themselves and are way past needing me so I can ride as stupidly as I like. Actually, I'd be doing them a favour if I had the terminal crash since they'd get what little money I have left - come to think of it, that'd be eff all anyway so what the hell...

or the "I'm a family man, my wife doesn't like me riding anymore" option!
With wife and three klingons I ride just the same as I've always done. Fast when the situation allows.

I thought that I was a very careful rider and rode quite defensively. Then my 10yr old daughter pillioned with me. I started riding like a complete nana with her on the back.

I always ride within my limits, ask anyone who knows me

My, now 10yo, has had rides on my bikes since he was very little. Initially sitting in front of me guarded by my arms as we slowly would go around the block. These days he rides MX and when we go for a ride on a road bike he sits as pillion. When 6yo and I first time put him on the back seat I took it easy as it was all new to me to have him beind me. We would have done 50 - 60k/h. I stopped at the local shop and he asked: "Can't this bike go faster?"... Today I ride like I always do when he is on and he loves it. He can't wait until he can ride on the road him self.I thought that I was a very careful rider and rode quite defensively. Then my 10yr old daughter pillioned with me.

Would be waste to have that question on here. They have all now moved to the "my wife says" website where they compare people movers, and where the highlight of their day is when they are allowed to park the wifies red sports car in the garage.
Don't forget to bring a towel
How did you manage to get pwned that bad on a beach?
