No age limit Trina.
As long as the kids can reach the footpegs with their feet.
I'd be in with my son but that's a bit too far from Hamilton for us. The little twerp was actually lulled to sleep on the back of the bike last year (when he was tired to start with)... Scared the crap outta me!
I don't like to take him too far on the bike now in case he gets tired...
...Then one day you realise your 'knight in shining armour' is just a retard in tinfoil.
I ride with my 8 year old son on my 05 sv650s decked in icon helmet and bike jackets with knox protection instead of stock and also gloves.
I started with rides fromt he beaches up to mussleman lake for ice cream and he did fine legs a little sore but got used to it and last week rode for 4 and half hours with no problems with him.
Just bought him his own scala2 headset so we can talk and also warn of upcoming objects or bumps instead of yelling or hitting his legs.
My son has ADD and does fine on the bike climbs on himself after i get on and knows to hold on and not let go.
sounds like a great idea. my boy is just turned 6 and asking to jump on. ya. he's the fearless like his daddy. but i've a litre bike, so not sure about that. maybe. in short spurts. thanks for input about the falling asleep because that sounds like a danger to avoid for sure.

my son is 6 and id love to take him out hes been on the bike around the block he holds on so tight if i go for a long ride hes gonna hurt me lol.. anyway where could i find a helmet jacket gloves etc.. for kids???
Great idea Jay... Like the East idea along the lakeshore to Cobourg. My dilemma - 2 sons, and both will want to go! (12 and 15) However the biggest challenge will be getting my wife to agree to it. The have been around the block and on a main street for a short ride, but never on the 401 or DVP. I ride an FZ1. Will have to outfit them too.

2002 Yamaha FZ1 (Faster Silver) -SOLD
Looking for a Ducati Monster, BMW R1200R or 2008 Gen 2 FZ1
PM if you have one for sale.
I'd be in if my kid's not at a camp. 11 y/o or 13 y/o. ZX-6R
An idea is to do a ride that starts early enough to get to breakfast at Haugens / Port Perry. The beach sounds like a nice idea but I can barely carry any beach stuff esp if 2-up.
I might or might not be in depending if I can find a kid

So I got home from work today and took him around the parking lot. Nothing past the 10km. Mostly jogging speed. hahaha! Imagine me on the clutch and brake of my Fireblade. haha. Anyhow, he's actually a brave guy. I have to tell him to hold on and sit down, and stop trying to lean over and see the way in front.

yes he is 6 but hes very tall most of ppl think he is 7 or even 8...he loves the bike sits down and dont move i hav to find a helmet hopefully someone has it for sale but yeah u guys should definately post a date for this ride n lets have some funn with the future riders lol
Great idea....I will discuss it with my husband. Chance are my daughter would come with me age 12 and my son would go along with my husband 14. Although I will have to check with the kids because they seem to have more on their plate then I do. I look forward to future updates.
Great idea Jay...We would be up for this. Busa and 12 year old son. The furthest he has gone was Guelph to Bolton (RFS bike wash lol).
.................If you are gonna ride my *ss, at least pull my hair..
SMILE. It's the second best thing you can do with your lips KNOW YOUR LIMIT, RIDE WITHIN IT......please no more R.I.P
RIDE SAFE ALL,

Keep posting up, the more the merrier.
Seeing some of the kids ages listed here it might be wise to shorten up the ride distance.
I am lucky with my son that all i need is to use his Nintendo DS as bait. I'm fairly confident i could get him to ride 1000kms in a day
I'm in.
Me: Age 30. 2up experience: ummm tons? lol
Her: Age 10. 2up experience: she's been on my bike three times. She's a good rider. I'm sure she'd love a group ride with other kids
I'm open to the route. Nothing over 2 hours probably, my R6 back seat ain't very comfy.
