first time

[leeross]

took my 6 year old boy out for the first time 2day, he loved it.

[black-k1]

Well done, I bet he loved it.

My 6 year old is getting ready for his first pillion ride. The three stipulations were that the helmet had to fit him, he had to be able to ride his bike and he had to be able to get his feet fully onto the pillion pegs. He has now met all three stipulations.

[leeross]

we got love handles for him 2 hold on2 which were good. his mum wiz a nervous wreck

[remal]

looks fun. I hope my 4 YO daughter would go pillion one day but I think my wife won't let me

Best ever Arai scheme IMO, shame they never used it for the RX7.

Putting your pillion in full protective gear? What's wrong with shorts, trainers and a cheap lid?
Good man - nice to see some common sense about!!

Absolutely. You'll be able to show him (from a v.early age) the rights and wrongs, and by the time he comes to own and ride his own, he'll be 100 steps ahead of his mates. Hopefully by that time, he'll have nothing left to prove to anyone, and will be solid and safe rider. Just think, he might have 10 years roadcraft experience before he passes his test!

I wished my old man would have got me into biking as a nipper!

[leeross]

thats how i got the bug, i had my first crosser from the age of 4! my boy got his at 5 and he's no very keen but loves the road bike

[dern]

My daughter is desperate to go on the back of the blade but I just can't be sure she'll hang on because her attention span is so short. Maybe another year will fix that.

Where did you get the kit from for him?

[y2blade]

i was about the same age maybe a bit younger (as soon as i could reach the pillion pegs was the deal) when i first started on the back of my dads bike...he used to wear a huge belt over his jacket for me to hold onto i felt like the coolest kid on the block


great stuff

[leeross]

The bike shop in south queensferry,forth gear, (forth road bridge) really good wee shop.
Think i was £165 all in apart from the boots, he allready had them for the crosser. I was afraid he wouldnt holt on 2 but you get a strap with handles on it (love handles) and there great.
thanks everybody for the support

[bikerbabe18]

i started off on the tank of a crosser when i was 2 yrs old, as soon as i was big enuf i was pillion and then evr since i haved ridden/pillioned, all i can say is the bug hit me hard
