New motorcycle movie in the works!
Looks cool, perhaps this generation's ON Any Sunday?
How do we get the kids to put down the iPad & controller & twist a throttle?

Buy them a bike (a dirtbike) and make sure they have a place to ride it nearly any time they want.
regarding iPad, video games, etc. tell them they get 1/2 hr. on electronic media per day. -
The trailer looks awesome

Looks promising as it seems to keep the Harley-esk aspect at a bare minimum.

Looks like a cool movie, I'll definitely check it out. As for video games, there awesome if you don't play them 24 seven (sorry, just hate it when people automatically condemn them, usually just old folks that don't know how to play
)

It's a tough one. My son (he just turned 11) and I bought dirtbikes in January of this year. He plays video games but we limit his play. I love riding with him. We have so much fun. We pack a lunch and we are always sure to take in the scenery. I have tried to teach him that riding involves more than just riding. He has his jobs to do, he oganizies the tie downs, gets the bins out for our gear etc. He also rides on my GS with me.Originally posted by hjfisk View PostThat don't work a good friend of mine bought his son a new ttr125 and have over 50 acre's to ride and that was 3 years ago , the bike still has the original tank of gas and breakin oil in the motor.

I hope he always does too.

Personally, I hate video games but only because how addictive they really are. While I was stationed in Guam back in 1989 to 1991, I sunk at least $500 in a Shinobi ninja arcade game in the dorm. What I could have done with that money.....Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Your friend only did half of what I suggested. He left out the part about limiting the video games to 1/2 hr per day. You must enforce it. I do and they abide by my rules. We have one computer in a public place that the kids must share. They don't have a computer or TV or gaming devices in their rooms or smart phones and they get 1/2 hr per day on MY computer. I kick 'em off after that time and tell them to go outside. Yes, I am a Neanderthal. I have three teenagers. Your friend could also offer some incentive, like let him earn a little more video time on the weekend if he spends X number of hours riding--say, an extra half hour for 2 hrs of riding time. Surely that kid will get the bug and forget about gaming.Originally posted by hjfisk View PostThat don't work a good friend of mine bought his son a new ttr125 and have over 50 acre's to ride and that was 3 years ago , the bike still has the original tank of gas and breakin oil in the motor.

But I do agree, I have a hard time comprehending a kid not wanting to jump on a ttr125 and go riding. Man would I have loved to have that bike and 50 acres to ride on when I was a kid! Somethin' wrong there. Maybe he should be evaluated by a doctor who rides motorcycles. Anyone on here qualify?
