I don’t dislike Haiden because he’s good at riding a dirt bike. I respect his abilities and know he’s a great racer. I dislike him because he has the personality of an asshole.

Yes, that is spamming. Kinda simple to understand.

Hi. I downvoted because I don’t like deegan or duffe and you are promoting your brand for free on a forum.

I mean, you are spamming our site with a link telling people where they can buy the merch.

It will feel a lot better once it stops hurting.

This isn’t funny..

This is advice from a guy who has a lot regret raising kids. Put your hobbies on hold and enjoy the stuff they want to do. Raising kids is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and they grow up fast. I spent a lot of time making money and chasing status in my chosen hobby. I was ferociously competitive in work, and my hobby and it was all about me. I always thought I made the money and paid the bills, so I should be able to do what I wanted, I was extremely selfish and my family paid the...

I took roughly a 10 year hiatus. I've always had jobs that required a lot of overtime, so my ride time started to get less and less, so in 2013 I sold my beloved 05 RM250. Later I made the massive mistake of marrying the wrong woman (very long story) and spent several years living at work trying to keep her from bankrupting me. Divorced in 2022, and through copious amounts of overtime, and some help from my old man, I was able to get my finances back in order. December 2023, at the age of 39, I bought myself...

52 as of Monday with 2 daughters 12/14 just bought my 14 year old a new motorcycle yesterday. We camp and ride together all the time wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dont post here much but i felt i'd chime in. A lot of good perspectives here on what others have done but ill specifically address the "guilt" of being out of the house doing your own things... I have two girls and since their birth i have been a MT biker, fisherman, runner, car enthusiast and occational moto guy. My family has never critized me for pursuing my passions and i encourage them to do the same. My girls (now 21 and 18) have both said to me independently in a private moment that they respect the fact that im...

The great thing about moto is you can pretty easily turn it into a family day. I have a boy and a girl about a year apart. 3-4 years old. When we go to the track, I ride for about 20 min, then comeback and hangout with the family till it’s my turn to go back out again. I bring a tent for the wife to sit and relax under, and the kids play in the dirt or ride their strider bikes. I haven’t been riding at all this summer however. We just had our 3rd kid and it’s getting...

Or get the family riding with you. My wife and daughters first bikes I got lucky, they liked it. Wife even rode the "New" 96 Elsinore Gran Prix on that bike. Still the biggest plaque in the rafters lol

I tried to get my kids into riding, they love going to the track but never wanted to be competitive. My 16 year old now plays club soccer. The 7 year old scares me on the dirtbikes, hes a mix of scared of it and clumsy, I dont want to see him get hurt. We go fool around 3-4 times a year on the track. That's probably the most I'll ride from here on out as soccer and other stuff take up most of my time. Ill probably have my 2019 yz250F for ten more years, I might have 25...

I stopped riding in '10 when my son turned three. 15 years later i started riding again because my son wanted to see me ride. I never sold my bike. (2000 YZ 250) We've been having fun with it. My son loves moto but has never wanted to ride, his true passion is fishing. It's been really fun starting back riding with his full support. I get to ride 3-4 times a month and I'm not taking it very seriously, just having fun with my son. Guess what I'm saying is there will time to ride in the future, put...

Smart man. Being actively involved in your kids lives gives them a better shot at staying away from trouble and temptation.

It never ends. I just helped my son start his own business. We will always support our children.

You sound like a good dad, which means you know that the kids absolutely come first. I am that way too, and what it meant for me was this: I had to put Motocross on the back burner, but it was a lit burner, set to low. I no longer rode a new bike every year, raced 20 times a year, or had new gear, but I had the bike and rode when I could. My '06 YZ250 lasted me 18 years; I kept it running on a shoestring budget. I raced once each in 2007, 2009, 2015, and 2021...

I raced hard core from 1990-1999, then occasionally from 2000-2002. My son and daughter were born in 99 and 01. I finally sold my MX bikes in 2002 and gave it up completely. Once the kids got to be adults, in Jan 2023 I bought a MX bike again. No intent to race, but i built a track in the back yard so i can ride anytime i want. I still have some friends that moto. We travel to tracks now and then, and they stop by to ride as well. I still love to ride turns out. Its hard...

I'm 35 with a 2.5 year old, I havent ridden moto once this year. Between helping build a small business, life, gym, and wifes hobbies, something had to give and unfortunately it was my riding (my choice). I still watch it on TV of course, and still have all my stuff. In this season of life it isn't my priority. But it will be back.

There's a very important balance that needs to be considered. It's very important that parents continue to pursue their dreams and passions after becoming a parent. It's an example that kids need to see, in order for them to become their best in life. If every father, let's say at 25 years old, stopped pursuing their dreams to raise a family, the kids wouldn't have an example of pursuing and bringing dreams and passions to success. Their kids would most likely do the same, and stop pursuing their own dreams and passions when they became parents. Kids need to see...
