bj66 Posted June 4, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2012 My boys (ages 20 and 17) just took the Motorcycle Safety Course this weekend. So now that they passed, it will be time to look for bikes. My oldest wants my RSTD thats been sitting in the garage. I think he would be able to handle it, hes a big kid (6' 3" and 190 pounds) and really level headed. But still it would make me nervous. My other son isnt as big, only about 5' 9" and 130 pounds. So I am going to have to find something to fit him. Maybe in the 500 to 650 range. Let the fun begin in the hunt for the right bike! I'm really looking forward to some rides with my boys!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Annie Posted June 4, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2012 Yep, it's great when you get to ride with your kids Only way you'll know if the RSTD suits, is to take some rides with him and see how he handles it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddlebum Posted June 4, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 4, 2012 I think letting him have the rstd would be great but I would find something a little less valuable for him to ride first. once he has some real life road experience and proves he looks well after that bike reward him with RSTD.

Guest tx2sturgis Posted June 4, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 4, 2012 Wait...huh? What happened to the little kiddos I saw on the webcampic? Dang...time sure went fast! Hey are they riding to Sturgis with you this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted June 5, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 5, 2012 Bernie, I wouldn't look any smaller than a 750cc for the youngest, he will out grow a 650 VERY fast and there's no use having to look for another bike so soon. The Suzuki Volusia is an 800cc bike that is very nice, the 750 Shadows are nice bikes too and very light and maneuverable. A cruiser sounds like it would be a good choice due to his size, as it would be lower to the ground. Enjoy having your boys with you on the rides, I am patiently awaiting the day I get to ride with my Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey are they riding to Sturgis with you this year? I hope not. I would like a little more seat time before I turn them loose in that mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
