It Only Lasts a Moment: So Hang On
We introduced our family to dirt bike riding for a new family “thing”. My husband, Sandy, had ridden as an adolescent and can tell you all kinds of wild stories of screaming up the powerlines with friends. Don’t ask to hear about the time his father painstakingly tweezed gravel out of his back. Sore subject.…
Fake It ‘Til You Make It
One of the most badass moments I can recall in recent memory came from none other than our soft-spoken, clover plucking, 11-year-old girl rider, Lily. It didn’t matter that it was by mistake, she made it look slick. We had just taken the leap moving her from a 4-stroke Honda CFR 80 to a brand…

“But Aren’t Dirt Bikes Dangerous For Kids?”
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into well-meaning friends and family, and a conversation like this happens: “How are the kids doing?””Great- They’re riding Motocross!””Motorcycles?! But isn’t that dangerous?!” Ha… I mean, yes it can be. Let me explain. Motorcycles and dirt bikes in general are inherently dangerous. There comes with it…

The Coolest Cats Around: Real Hero’s Wear Stripes
It’s funny who you come across when you’re doing what you love. That’s how you find your tribe, isn’t it? We all seek to find like-minded people, kindred souls. One of my favorites of recent has been The Tigers Motorcycle Display Team in Hampshire, UK. Through the powers of the interwebs, I came across their…

We have a lot of red in our garage. Honda red to be specific. Be it cars, bikes, generators, aircraft, or even garden equipment the Honda Brand has stood the test of time and worked its way into our confidence with all things motorized. Simply, if you need to rely on it, rely on a…
Helmets and Handle Bars
Combined a Perfect Storm Awaits. It’s every moto-mom’s worst nightmare. Race day, things appear to be going well, a little too well. Another family is passing out celebratory Bloody-Mary’s, but our own child-racer still has another heat coming up. “No thanks- I want to keep a clear head in case there are any ambulance calls!”,…
Get A Kid Into MX and They’ll Never Have Money For Drugs
Parenting from a slightly different perspective… Let me show you what I mean. Christmas morning 2019, the stars had somehow aligned and four really awesome kids had no idea what was coming. While not new, we had somehow come into four bikes. A little tweak here, a little mechanical know-how there and they all ran.…
