I rode the bike to town and he followed me in his truck. We went to a parking lot of an abandoned building so he could practice riding the 1100 to see how he liked it and how he felt on it.

Practicing in the parking lot

It was the first time he's ridden a bike since his MSF course last year, except for riding his friend's Kawasaki Ninja 250R around the parking lot of his friend's apartment complex.

After about 20 minutes, he rode up to me and said, "Okay, I'm ready to ride."
Huh? Where?

Well, I agreed to let him ride the 20+ miles home.

... riding down the highway,

... riding down the back road towards home,

... riding up our driveway!

WOOOOHOOOO!!! I can't stand it ... I'm just so PROUD OF HIM!! My little baby ... ain't so little anymore.

From: MsChief 04 Oct 2006, 9:46 am SIX BOYS!!!! Bless your heart!!! I think, in your case, it's a blessing ... can you imagine if all SIX wanted to ride! From: MsChief 03 Oct 2006, 8:01 pm Of course hubby knew! I called him at work and asked if it was okay for my son to ride and he was fine with it. I sure wouldn't want hubby taking the Chief without my knowing about it ... of course, I keep the one and only key on me at all times, so it would be difficult for him to do so. But, YES, I did ask first. From: jason 03 Oct 2006, 7:25 pm Thats so cool. Always good to gain another rider and an extra voice. One thing you did,nt mention did you,re husband know you,re son was riding his bike. From: hippieatheart 03 Oct 2006, 7:02 pm Far out, you passin' the torch, ain't tradition cool.
