Riding Motorcycles When You Have Young Kids At Home....

[PJPR01]

Please don't shoot the buffalo and let them roam the plains freely like they used to, or better yet, try to wrestle one to the ground and see who wins then!  Stomp stomp stomp!

Funny about the alligators...used to see those when living in Florida, but mostly on the golf course...that's a hell of a road hazard to watch out for when riding the moto!

I can't find pictures of my first 2 sidecar rigs but, when my daughter was 2 I put together a Harley rig, a few years later i went to a Guzzi with a Velorex. That got updated to this EML. JP is about 7 in this shot heading home from the Illinois rally. If you have young kids, get a sidecar rig, you'll have a great time.



This was taken last summer

Wow!   You're probably a long way from home by now ....

Had to get out of the house.     I didn't do the 3 National Rallies while being a house-dad.  Had to get the youngest out of diapers.  My turn to stay home and raise the youngest.  I still rode on weekends.  Here is GianThomas after I picked him up from elementary school.  He'll graduate from high school in May.

If you were born to ride let the wife & kids know it. Let them see who you are but never forget to walk (ride?) that fine line of letting them know they're most important. As Tash Matsouka (sp? Rider mag years ago said ) when a young reader expecting his 1st child & getting pressured by the wife to stop riding wrote the mag Tash replied. It's an important decision but he's glad police officers, firemen, & career military don't stop doing what they do when they have children. I didn't.
Nine of us sat around the fire at TWO in Ga & 2 of us were married......11 of us were having lunch at a BMW air tech day at Lake Tahoe. I was the only one married. It's not easy but having an exceptional wife helps! 👍😀

I've got too much work to do to worry about what size truck and penis you have.

A safety nazi was telling me how dangerous it is to run all the back roads. How each driveway and entrance to a field is a potential accident. Plus drivers crossing the center line and dogs dear etc. OK, you want to be paranoid then riding on the freeway is equally as dangerous as each oncoming car could come thru the median, a truck could chunk a tire or an airplane could land on the freeway.

Now, for breakfast should I have steel cut oats with organic blueberries or three eggs with bacon, homade biscuits made with lard topped with sawmill gravy?

Carefree,

Both. You got a big day ahead of you

Not really.

The only problem I have now is not being able to take off into the country for a day or two.

Gotta wait till kids get older. Might have more time then.

Still doing about 5000 annually mostly daily commute within a single borough.
