Hello all,
I just got my first big bike last year, a 1993 GW Aspencade with 109,000 miles on it.
I have been riding off-road and motocross forever, but my 9y/o Autistic son has put a huge damper on that hobby. I do admit that I was looking at ways to put him on my CRF450r and hit the trails with him, but that seemed to be an extremely sketchy evolution. My boy and I are riding my daughter’s TTR90 around the neighborhood and he absolutely LOVES IT!
He is a bit impulsive and he cannot ride alone at all.
My wife found my wing and actually had to convince me to buy it, (That’s what I tell her), with plans to ride around with him in more areas. Since he is a climber and has zero fear, I put some car seat belts on the rear seat and he uses his bicycle helmet for our rides.
Don‘t yell at me, we do not get over 25 or 30 mph and stay on our neighborhood streets. The rides last about 30 min and he stays put quite well. It is a much better option than trying to keep track of him as we are riding.
He loves when I pick him up at school and he is the “Cool Kid”.
