Im guessing your daughter wants a Beemer of her own when shes old enough

She's wearing a leather jacket and chaps, with "work boots', and women's small size gloves. The leather jacket was easy enough to find, the chaps were a real score. Found them online, then I visited one of their stores. The sizing is unreliable, you need to know the measurements you need, and call to find out what size meets those needs. The price is right for the quality, it's nice heavy stuff.

As for the Beemer, I just hope she grows tall like me so she can handle one!

They've got kids sizes, AND they offer a 30% credit on outgrown stuff when you buy the next size!!

I can attest to that grinning ear to ear from being a pillion as a kid. Only rode pillion once when I was a kid, was on an old CB500T that had one of those huge sissy bars (comfy for the passenger). Was only a trip around the block but I was still grinning ear to ear afterwards.

My next pillion ride was this year on the back of a harley (im 26 now), its part of what made me want to start riding. Wont have to deal with the Wife wanting rides on the back, she wants her own bike already (she plans on doing MSF in the spring).

I'm a mother and a Grandmother and a GGrandmother and a wife.

Well I am not a mother yet, and its not looking like I will be one any time soon so I'd say I started riding well before Motherhood.

I'm a mother of two (a two and a half year old and a two month old!) and am a new rider. After years of dreaming of getting onto two wheels, I bought a bike last February...and within two weeks discovered I was pregnant!! I took the MSF course as soon as the snow melted and I'm pretty sure I was the only one out there worrying about morning sickness!! I rode fairly regularly until I was about five months along, and then got some friends to put a few more miles on the bike to get it to its first major service point. When I was seven months pregnant I took a very cautious trip across town on the bike to take it for service with my husband and son driving behind me. (My husband does not have a bike license...he is a 'Vette man...) Anyway, my "condition" turned a few heads when I dropped off the bike!!!

I am looking forward to getting the bike out of storage and getting back in the saddle during my breaks from breastfeeding! Hopefully I'll meet a few other Moms out there!

Good for you, cbm! You definitely seem determined to ride. Welcome to the website - make sure to introduce youself in the "Start Your Engines" section. Enjoy the forums.

This sounds very familiar. Shortly after our first son was born my wife, 2-brothers-in-law and myself went on 2000km bike trip. There was 3 bikes and one truck following behind with one of her brothers driving it, and our new son riding shotgun. Every 3 hours we would have to make a pit stop so she could breastfeed the baby. You never see these stories on any "Bikers-Lifestyle" shows

I've been riding since I was sixteen. I'm 40. I have a three year old son. He's afraid of the noise, so no he doesn't get on...yet..

He'll be there soon enough!!
