You know there is a company that makes such a gizmo. To attach smaller riders to the driver. I saw it somewhere. Can't remember where though.

Yes Yes - that's exactly what I'm talking about.... Oh wait. No, my older kids are just a bit too big for that...

Maybe I'll just get a bungee and hope it doesn't lose it bounce.

well your bike is a sport bike right? well that will be my concern, being i see how young girls ride along with there boyfriends. they have very little seat. now if its a cruiser you would have a better chance for him and you feel more comfortable. or....you could limit your rides to a park or parking lot, for awhile till he gains the experience and you gain confidence in trusting your self and your son, this will definately also help out with the wife. even better if she would ride along with you sometimes. for example, me and my son have taken a fall,( not a serious one just fell over in the drive way ) and he still trusts me to get back on and hit the interstate,.....wow. true motorcyclist in the making. just be safe at it together,..use team work and make it fun.

My bikes not quite a sport bike and not quite a standard. I did get the seat today. I'm not sure what to make of it in terms of usability.

Right now, I don't think my older son is ready to do anything close to riding. He likes getting on the bike - he likes going up on pillion when we were at the motorcycle show... But if I turn the engine on he doesn't like the noise... What can you do?
