Let's here some stories about relatives you ride with. Son's, daughter's, wife, husband, even grandchildren. No nephews or cousins[could get rather involved]. Keep it close to home & at least one Husky needs to be involved.
Ok, let's include boyfriends & girlfriends since a lot of people now a day's do not have husbands & wife's.
my 16 y.o. son and i been going to the local school parking lot(its huge) when theres no one around and run a little course around the traffic island things on the '09 smr510. he dont have a license yet, so i have to drop him off then run the bike over there. actually, i dont have one either..hahahah. but its great fun. the score so far, he's slid it across the pavement once, and me twice, now the left grip matches the right from the kick stand fall over. the bike dont look brand new any more, but the skateboard wheel sliders i made sure help, and the bike been worth every penny i paid for it.
I quess I'll start. I ride with my daughter a lot. She's in her early 20's & weight's in the 90's sompin' wet. We rode a Stoney Lonsome Dualsport in the mud one year & a lot of the sections had someone at the entrance letting riders know how difficult the muddy trails were. Ashley would pull up with me & they would look at her CR230F & see her long hair coming from the back of her helmet & shake their head not to try it. This happened all day long & each time we made it. Some of the switch backs & hills were hard & she had a few falls but each time she would get back up. I was really proud of her & knew then that riding was in her blood. At the clubhouse eating dinner we had several people come up to talk to us wondering if she was the girl riding those trails. It was a good day. Wet, muddy, & tired, but a good day!
A gal that rides, has a KDX and husky is a keeper fer sure. The guys in your area have no idea what they are missing out on
My 16 year old son just got his learners permit. So we registered his bike and have had 3 great days over Chrissy riding legally for a change. The riding was in the high country in the State of Victoria where we hook up and ride with my Brother (husky 310) and his son (Kato 250 SXF) and our great mate (KTM 450) and his son Yammy YZ 250. It was mostly single trail with some residual bog holes left although dust is the main theme this time of year. The best thing about riding this time of year is that there is no one else on the trails. This means you see lots of kangaroos, wallabies, goannas (and some snakes). We get cracking early to beat the heat and find that 3 hours in the saddle is enough this time of year. The high country is magnificent to ride in, it is a huge area and our population is pretty small-gotta love it.
My son (12) pretty much just started riding this year. I've coached him in sports for years and always told him how much riding would be good for him. Not til I finally laid it out that when he's older, he and I won't likely have a bond through his team sports. We needed to find common ground like golf (yuk) or riding. He chose to do both this year. I've gotten a couple of his friends started riding and they just got bikes for Xmas. So he's got a riding crew together already. He's only got Husky gear so far. He's on an 86 XR 80. Love that thing.
I don't have any close kin that likes to ride. I have 3 girls and they might want to ride to the mall if they can sweet talk some money outta me, they know they can't get any out of momma. I have some younger cousins that like to ride like their hairs on fire all the time. One called me Monday night and wanted to go and get the central Alabama tag (Tag O Rama) up in North Alabama about 150 miles away. We left Tuesday morning, My chargeguard on the 610 said 26 degrees and kept flashing "Ice, Ice". The tag was a train tunnel. I did a ride report on Advrider, not sure how to transfer a link, but we had a full day and a lot of fun, he only tried to get me killed twice, so that was a good day. Any one else involved in the Tag O Rama in their state?
Well, good luckWe have to ride where we can sometimes, rightI had a friend that was riding in his son's school parking lot [yard], teaching him to ride & a cop stopped him & accused him of running from him. He did get a ticket but most of the time they probably just give out a warning.
I bet she has a boyfriend, she doesn't want to hurt her image. Besides she probably has her eye out for someone on this forum.Just kidding DirtDame, your personal life is your own business
I have some grandsons a little younger than your son but they are in sports so much that I can't find time to get them riding. I ride them as passengers & they love it. Hopefully your son can balance out his activities. Having other friends with bikes should really help. That bike is bulletproof. My daughter still wishes she had hers. [Wants to keep everything
I have 4 girls. The key is to have a small bike around & to ride them every now & then on your own bike.All 4 of my daughters tried riding but for one reason or the other opt out except for the youngest one. One day she knocked herself out [litterally] when her bike did a headshake in 4th gear & she was riding the next day.[probably not a good idea]. That's when I knew she had the bug! You may be surprised which one might ride.
Ashley is my 8 yo granddaughter and she got a quad last summer so we all ride something. My daughter/son in law...my son just got out of the hospital but I have a old Yamaha for him. Riding my 450 behind Ashley going slow has made me a better rider. I got a helmet cam for X mas so as soon as I learn how to edit/post I should have some good trail pictures. For a first test see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=741_1GHwu_g Happy New Year to you all Kerry
Nope, I don't presently have a boyfriend....or even a personal life, for that matter, just my motorcycles.
I remeber when all I had was my motorcycles - it was a lot less hassle than some of the gals I dated.
