My priorities are a little out of wack.
I was hoping for some feedback from you parents out there on being a first time dad and how it altered your riding.
My wife is expecting our first baby late summer and I occasionally get the "stares" when I talk about riding this summer. I understand she needs me around and there's a lot to be done before then, but I don't see how it should change that much... :think:
I should mention she rides too, although her street bike is more her medicine, she definitely enjoys off-road especially since getting a new 06 crf150 which she's only ridden once.
I'm getting a little twitchy at the thought of cutting back, or not being able to do the over night rides we did last summer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm psyched to be a dad. I just wish I could put a human form of Miracle Grow in the kid's bottle so I can get him/her on a bike asap.
I guess I just wanted to hear from others who may have been through this either with a new baby, or just kids in general.
I have a good friend and brother-in-law who's kids are involved in nine different activities seven days a week and it seems these guys always have that glazed look on their face sometimes when I tell them I'm going riding and they "can't"
That's my rant/inquiry/worry...Be safe.
