My son was only 4 when he rode on a quad at his Grandfathers home.
He had a helmet on as I set there and watched him with Grandpa and his Dad ride in the river over and over that day.
I didn’t know then that he would find the love and passion that he know enjoys and to all those out there is well known.
I just ask God when he is on his bike, “please keep his body safe”, that’s what I pray.
You’ve got to let your kids enjoy life these days.
Let them be who they are.
I think if you do they will have the passion to travel far.
God speed to all those who ride.
I pray for everyone who has the passion and the family who can hold their breath as they watch with pride.
God Bless!

I never worry about death while I’m on the bike. Every time you turn the key it could be your last. But nailing a corner is the second best feeling on earth. Just get him to take good training to prepare him for the unexpected. Nothing works better than practice. I always tell anyone who’s getting into bikes: In your first six months you WILL fall off and you WILL get hurt but hopefully you’ll get back on that horse and try again. Soon he’ll be the king of the road, with way way more options than a car driver at every turn. WIsh him my very best from a guy who went from a GT550 to a Blackbird in five short years. And make sure he’s leaning it into the corners. Ireland was never made for bikes having had most of its roads made in the 19th century but we do ok. Its all about hazards and staying alive. And when you can act the bollix due to the staggering performance of your machine, fuck the cops and the road planners. I really hope he does ok. Its a long road but a good one. Its always the knees that go down first so make sure he has good leathers.
Be strong and happy wherever possible. I wouldn’t trade my lifestyle for any other.
Love, light and blistering acceleration.
