'09 Concours 14 The Ultimate Transcontinental Cruise Missile
i went to a bike shop today asked the owner where can i find the bellt for kids he said i personaly would never use it as safe as they are the can be more dangerous he said!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also he told me if ur son is not old enough to be on a bike dont put him on forget the belt..... kinda makes sence... i will still take him out at k.c soon!!!
I use 'Love Handles' with my son. I'm sorry but I disagree with that store person. My son's arms are short, I mean face it, he's nine. To have them wrapped around me for extended periods is tiring for him and he can't do it after awhile. With the belt I wear, he simply hangs onto the handles and he's good to go. I've even snuck up on him (when he was using them on the cruiser with my fiance) and tried to pull him off suddenly. Didn't work, he hung on like a champ
I'll keep an eye on this thread and if things are close enough, we'll try to make it out. I had my son out on my CBR today...he loved it (said it's more fun than the cruiser! ).
...Then one day you realise your 'knight in shining armour' is just a retard in tinfoil.
Same thing with the girl that I took on my bike. She said she loved the R6. Her dad's friend invited her out for a ride. When she seen his bike she went "ewwww. what's that?"
lol... Harley Didn't go for a ride "that doesn't look like fun, it's got a back rest..."
That's the way girl

Scarborough group ride 4.0! Every Sunday, 1:30, Timmies at KC!!! Facebook group!! ^^^ OMG ROFL!!! ^^^
Dress for the crash, not for the ride...
Ask him if he's ok selling 600 and 1000 ss bikes to young males, or selling icon gear or selling sidi boots. Bikes are dangerous period, he should sell the business and buy a Volvo dealership.
As your kids parent you decide what you think is a risk to your child not some random dudes opinion from a bike shop.
As far as belts go, another option is Royal sell an affordable belt for $15.
so just came in from a ride with my son very 1-st time for him on the road... he did very well he held on me all the time didnt move at all bottom like i am happy it went very well we ended up goin to kennedy commons and back ....soo set up a date we will be ready for a group ride..
Look here for the info.on Royal Distributing. Cheers.

I bought a riding belt on Kijijji for $75.00 it has a strap that goes around you and then a strap for the kid plus should straps that go over top of them. It buckles on the back of them so they can't get the straps undone. There is also a handle for them to hold onto. It gives you a lot more confidence that they are not going anywhere without you going too. I have a 7 and 5 year old and they both love going on the back of the bike for rides. With this on I can ride without the fear of them falling off.
Any rides planned for this year?
