Awesome, family time is everything. Hold onto those pics, one thing I still ponder is why I had none passed on to me as I got older. My life was such in disarray back then, but, it would have been nice to share some of them photos of the old man's scoots, my first scoot, etc.. Good lookin boy ya got there, must take after his mother...lmfao
Had to throw some humor in there, brother

Great picture. Start saving your money now. You will be helping him buy his first bike before you know it.

That's what I call great times!


He'll probably be hooked for life now.


My son from an early age rode everywhere with me, only time he wasn't on back was when I went to work. We still talk about those times often.


He actually did not get a car license at first, just his motorcycle license, I had to get him a car and pretty much force him into getting the car license.


I still think it all stemmed from doing exactly what you did! Enjoy and like us, you'll get to ride together on separate bikes in time.

Thanks, all!

He really does dig it. He comes to me almost daily now wanting a ride around the neighborhood.

Here's my son on my old Shovel FLHP at work, many, many years ago. I laugh out loud every time I hear somebody complain about "Death Wobbles" or ill handling modern Harleys

OP Good for you to pass on the desire to ride to your son. It will pay you back in spades when he's older and can ride his own bike with you.

My daughter on an early ride, off road.



Firing up for first ride on pavement - solo.



First ride for Grandpa, daughter, and grandson all together.

Great shots of you and your son weaving what will be the common bond between you, just an observation, not to be the fly in the ointment, but, should you not have your son wear the proper gear, even on their first ride, this would set the tone for all future rides, at least long pants, man I hate seeing bare legs on a bike, it makes me shiver.
