Took my wife and kids for a trail ride today. I’m sure all the dads on here know how good if feels to see the kids riding. This was the first time I took my 2 year old, we put some gear on him boots, helmet and googles.
So we set off for our ride but to my surprise by our first stop 15-20 minutes in I found my son like this
( took his googles off for the photo )
Rode so careful and slow he slept like that for 20 or 30 minutes, cutest thing ever... so I stopped to help my wife and when I got of my bike the little fella woke but in such a good mood.... stuck him in with mum and all he could do was hold the bars and make bike noises like a mad man was way to cool to see h enjoying it like that. ( the bumps on his nose and forehead are from chasing chickens in the back yard and face planting )
My awesome wife was not enjoying the new bike we fouled 2 plugs
need to sort it out before our next ride but she was still smiling, who wouldn’t on an amazing day out with family n friends.

Brought our kid on some wheeler rides when he was like 2. Thought maybe his neck was too weak for his helmet, then I realized he was falling asleep in my arms. Puts kids right to sleep

Hug them tight everyday! Awesome looking fam!
Icing on the cake was seeing an old friend with his white van and clean #19 numbered KTM.
He waved me by on the turn track. I think he just wanted a whiff of my YZ125’s 50/50 VP110 @ 40:1 exhaust. Good times! 👍
P.S. I was the "mean" Uncle to my teenage nephew. I had it planned(a surprise) for him to sample my YZ125 for the first time. A perfect transition from his TTR125. Well, he's having a hard time adapting to boots for his size 12 boats. When it came time to ride the YZ, I said "put your boots on first." He said, "I forgot them at home". I said "next time, those pegs on the YZ are sharp...so no go." He won't "forget" those again.
He has a track in his yard so we sit all day and watch the kids some Sundays. We always say just how fortunate we actually are.
And this is how most days end......
glad you’re still doing it! Show your wife these types of threads who knows mate she might give it a go

Joking aside, family moto is by far the best thing ever. Wifey, all 3 kids, and I spent Friday-Sunday camping at the track and it was like much needed therapy during these stressful times. I ask every time on the way home "who had a good time today" and of course everyone always says ME! No matter the small stress of gathering gear, supplies, bikes, tools it is ALWAYS worth it in the end as these are days that they will remember for the rest of their lives. You simply cant beat family time at the track with anything.
You're 100% right all the little things that can stress don't matter when you can see them all smile having a moto good time...
