Great stories. Good to see the "live together, ride together" approach.

The next step is to get the kids on their own bikes.

I started my daughters at ages 5 & 7, and they've been riding since. Even started racing.

I can't be happier than when they blow past me in the woods. Nothing better than that.

Good story, Rc, esp. the conclusion ... unless that will happen when the SO finds out !
Motorcycling is the best of meditation – and even with the cost of fuel, cheaper than therapy.

It's how you spin it. For my daughters and me, a weekend of riding meant my spousal unit had a weekend to herself. She had time to be away from us, and I was able to bond with the kids during the camping/riding weekends.

When the girls turn 16, it's no big deal for them to drive 'cause they already have mad vehicle handling skills.

And yes, it's good therapy!
