Today was the first day of a new journey for my son and daughter. Yep, I introduced them to motorcycle riding.

After going over all the safety and pre-ride lessons they suited up in their gear and they got their first rides under their belts. I was so proud of them as they only stalled the bike a few times and no wipeouts!

Later this evening I was sitting and thinking about my first ride on a '78 Suzuki RM50 and how I was completely hooked after one ride. That feeling of excitement and nervousness is one of my golden memories from my childhood. Now, judging by the huge grins on my kids faces, it will also be one of theirs as well.

What a great day. :cool:

Yeah, my son is that way too. He just plays video games all the time. However, riding somehow captured his attention pretty strong so now he is already bugging me for his next ride! I really hope this enthusiasm for riding continues to grow and limits his gaming.

Good luck with that. I said the same thing once. It seems to me that some kids are just outdoor kids and some are not. My youngest just turned 4 and he has a rebuilt xl 70 waiting for him when he gets big enough. So far, he is an outdoor kid and loves to go camping and throw rocks in the creek.
