Isn't he the guy who got robbed by a couple of jailbaits some years ago.lol.
I have actually seen him and one other guy clean out a bunch of smartarses in Hamilton some years ago.Definately a dangerous weapon.
My boys 8 and 10 ride with me regularly and love it.Me and the 8 y.o. rode in the Wellington Toy Ride just before Xmas.His first one and he loved it.Biker Santa gave him a big handfull of lollies which always goes down well.

Shit hot stories guys. My daughters (9 and 11) fight each other in a special cage I've built, for the chance to come to the track with me. I'm now in the process of getting the right gear so they can come pillion occasionally. Looks like I will have to put the pillion pegs on. The latest question is "When will I be old enough to come to the Cold Kiwi"?

Great story Tank, excellent bonding time and now you have a constant companion / pillion!

For my own reasons I don't ride on the road anymore, but I'm still a very keen trail rider and over the few months my 12yr old daughter has been learning to ride her CRF100 with me (won't be long till I can't keep up!!) I can't even begin to express the joy I get from seeing her tearing around an MX track, having a ball. The grins and laughter in the pits, making really cool new biker friends, the Subway on the way home, cleaning and servicing the bikes together, planning our next ride, posters of KP all over her room (who she actually gets to talk to) I could go on and on (but won't) Being a Dad is bloody good....

I brought myself a Busa back in November for a bit of fun.
My kids saw it and instantly asked for a ride!
So after a few weeks, Santa brought them a helmet to share (Santa really is a good bastard!).
Took my 8 year old son out for a quiet one. He enjoyed it, but was telling me to slow down alot. Told him to never take his hands off the pack rack. Got back home and his hands were all sweaty!!
Had a big grin on his face though, thinking he was the man 'cause his 6 year old sister didn't go.
Anyway, a few minutes later his sister got to have her ride.
Well, f@ck me drunk!! We hadn't even left the drive and she was waving with both hands, yelling 'YEEHA" as we left!!! Going down the road, past all her friends houses, and she was yelling at me to go faster!!
We left one intersection a bit quick....... and the front was pawing for the sky...... as you do on a busa......... and she began laughing uncontrollably!!
We got back home, and to mums disgust, she told her older brother we'd done a wheelie!! She was laughing like a deranged lunatic. Why? Because her older brother hadn't had enough balls to do one!!
I laughed for ages!!
That was definately one of the better days I've had on a bike!

Now my 6 year old wants to swing on a sidecar like Sidecar Bob does!!
She got her first taste of passengering on my busa chair when she was just 2 years old at the Sidecar Associations 'Have-a-go-day'

What happened to little girls just wanting to play with Barbies???

[Pumba]

Good stuff Tank, my olds did somthing simular with me when I was about 8 years old..........

Actually

Stop NOW your going to have that kid addicted for the rest of his life, pouring every last cent he earns into the damm bike in the shed, stop the cycle!!

[gunnyrob]

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.
