Lamest comment I've read all day.

[@freebaf]

True story! In 1993, when my son was 4 years old, I took him for a ride on my Suzuki dual sport. He was on back holding on for dear life as we were ripping along on top of a levee. We came upon an unexpected large sink hole covered by grass. At about 40 MPH I had no time to react, and the bike did an endo! My son rode my back all the way to the ground and through my entire face slide! I broke a coupe of fingers, but barely noticed my pain as I was immediately concerned about my son. No need to be concerned; he was giggling uncontrollably and said "do it again Daddy, do it again"! I of course gave him the warning as we limped the bike back home, "do not tell your mother or you'll never be allowed to ride with me again"! Telling mom was the very first thing he did when we got home!

As a father of a 15 year old girl who has never shown any interest in my motorcycles or ever wanted to watch MotoGP or WSBK with me, when she recently asked if I could take her out for a ride on my Scrambler 1200… well I immediately dug out my wife’s old riding gear and took her for a spin. We’ve since gone out a few other times and have had a blast. She’s been asking for me to teach her how to ride so perhaps a little 150cc dirt bike is in her future! Enjoy the time with your kiddos, as cliche as it sounds “they grow up so fast” is unfortunately very true.

Since that's the transportation I got to see my daughter,she was 3 years old when we started. Using a small size adult helmet,Sometimes she falls asleep and every time we are on a stop sign, people always asked if she is ok. back then authorities doesn't care much. If did that today,not only i get a ticket but probably get arrested 😅.As she grew older, my POV got more challenging. I literally saw my daughter grow as time goes by😢.now she is 19.

My nephew was five or six years old. His mother gave me a 1976 Hondamatic. He would sit in front of me, and I would let him hold the handlebars and the throttle by himself. Later, I found a minibike that he absolutely loved. He races in NASCAR now, while his brother is an engineer for Amtrak. I am proud of all of my nephews.

[@benjamintravis6606]

So, in the 70’s and early 80’s my dad had a CB750 and I grew up on the back of it. My mom decided it would be a great idea to get a 50CC moped to ride to work. The only hang up was that she had to drop my baby brother off at the setter on the way. Dad installed a folding bicycle baby seat they already had from when older brother was a baby in the 60’s on it. Every morning she strapped him all bundled up on it with almost 20 year old plastic straps to ride the couple blocks behind her. The things they did back in the day.

A friend of mine got her son a small 50cc quad at age 3 😄 He learnt it really quick, but when he then got a 50cc two stroke motocross at age 5 he was really scared of it. Both the sound of the much more angry two stroke, and the "training wheels" effect got the better of him. He then used a balance bike for some time and learnt to ride a bicycle, and then started testing the motocross! He's 6 and loves it!

I dont remember how old I was when I first got to ride around on the back of my dad's Harley, but my kid was 5 when i first started taking him places on my bikes. Once he had his helmet he started out in front of me on my dual sport, a year later he rides on the back seat of my old bmw. Its been great for both of us. He has his own little dirtbike now (he's 7) and loves it. The only real downer is when some busy body comes up and tells you "Thats so dangerous, I cant believe blah blah blah".

Also, sometimes my sister would ride too, behind me, with her infant daughter snuggled between us, in a fabric carrier. (Don’t know what those things are called). So, we had four aboard! Sometimes got some strange looks from other motorists but seemed perfectly safe to us! This was in SW Oregon and sometimes San Jose, California.
