Better make sure she has a chat with kiwifruit

She said he was soft!! (But said he was cute too!!)

She is a stunning little girl.... those lovely eyes glistening at Dave at Puke last year was a really sweet thing to see.

Glistening eyes??? It was the sugar rush from all the friggin lollies Dave gave her!! She now wants to marry him!!
Over my dead body!!!!!

[Okey Dokey]

That's great, Tank and TJ. Keep up the good work!

I'll be in a wheel chair by then!! I think she just wants sidecar bob - she keeps saying 'I love him' !! Then again, she says that about Dave Annan too!!
Shite.... I hope I'm buried by the time she's 16............

Isn't that what you're racing these days? ...well, in comparison to the 'busa...

LOL. Heheheheh... THAT'S why I'm glad I've got two boys... ...and I (we) are dreading the teenage bit too...

Ya cheeky sod!! Wheel chairs have 4 wheels - not 3!!
Anyway, the sidechair busa is putting out well over 200+ hp (well, was until I've had to change heads and cams to standard for puke)
My roadie is standard, and feels like a gn250 in comparison.......

Actually - I was referring to the post classic outfit... No way I'd insult the #1 rig by comparing IT to a wheelchair... ...besides, I'm hoping for a ride on it some time...

What a cool story and a cool dad!
Well done mate, I reckon that might be one of the coolest 'Dad' stories I have heard for a while.
Bling sent.

If it ever stops raining, I'll be there... (was planning to go anyway ). Guess I'd better bring me good leathers then... ...the ones with the body armour...

Cute story Our neighbour takes her foster-daughter out on the back of her bike and she loves it too. Looks real cute with her pink school bag on her back I guess in a few years' time me or hubby will be taking our boy out.... ....maybe But since he's only 6 wks old I've got a while to worry about it And not on his current bike (single seater, haha)

Great thread guys/gals!

With all of the positive responses from the young 'uns, perhaps we need to be more proactive in "getting a kid on a bike"?
If each kid that enjoys a ride tells a friend how much fun it is, they in turn might become interested as well?

I know of other sports that hold a "have a go day" so that an experience can be made easily available.

Perhaps those with kids and appropriate helmets, could see if "little Johnny's friend" would also like a quick ride, the future of biking may be a bit brighter.

Onya. My ex has tacitly concented to Ramon (11yo son) being on the back of the bike so long as he wears all the gear, all the time. (cycletreads sorted that out easily)

To make the father/son thing go SO MUCH BETTER, get an intercom system. We have a nolan N-102 each, & it's freaken excellent to hear him gush about how much he enjoys the experience on the back.

Oh Yea I rmember Ramons Smile ay. Ear to ear every times he takes of his helmet. And whenever I asked him how much he enjoyed biking his face just grinned. He is gonna be a biker for sure

At the sidecar 'Have-a-go-days', my outfits taken out heaps of young kids over the last 3 years. I've even taken out kids who were shouted their 'ride' for their birthdays!! Now that's a sweet pressie!!
