Kids ride 2-up

[ts]

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.

well i got a helmet for my son( whifys helmet fits him very well) x-s now i just need to go check out a jacket n gloves for him..... so lets set up a date and do this..

For those interested, I've an HJC in extra small (black) that was my son's when he was 8. It's still in very good condition with a few scratches on it. But on the upside, it has his race numbers on it and may be worth a fortune in the future! I think I have both the clear and tinted visor which is great for riding into the sun.
PM me and make an offer and its yours. I'd sell his Aria but he's using it as a back up in case he crashes in his #1 helmet.
Cheers

I have a daughter who's 11 and I'd love to take her on a group ride with other kids. I'm in the east end so a day at Cobourg beach would be great with us. We went on a ride last year to Port Perry with some other parents/kids and they all had a great time at the park there.
Nothing puts a smile on my face like watching her do the 'peace sign' to other riders
Closer to the middle/end of June is good with us or anytime in August.

Late July or August works for me.My co-pilot is 9 and she will be on a Concours14.2 up certified.
It has to be on Sunday or Saturday pm.....she's training every Saturday till 1:30 pm.
If you need some help with route planning please let me know...I'll be glad to help,just PM me and we'll hook up for a java.

-Jamie M.

She is probably addicted to a point that she will get a bike when she's old enough

[Koval_68]

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.

I have one,and always strap my kids when going for a longer ride.

My 7 year old son and I do the Newcastle to Cobourg ride all the time. He fits in his mother XXS HJC helmet. We usually take HWy 2 back to Newcastle. I need to find a jacket for him. So far I can only find tourmaster stuff that will fit him.

Count me in

+1 - I sort of have to agree - if the kid needs this to stay on they might not be ready. Also, in the event of an accident you're doing the kid no favours being strapped to you. Develop some hand signals and have him/her do the same (I need a break/pee, tired, etc...)

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! ).

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

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.
