Bicycle with motorcycle shell
I don't know if anyone remembers these, but they used to have kids bikes with plastic shells on the outside t make them look like motorcycles. Does anyone know if they still make these? I'm sure they were probably terrible, but I'm curious nonetheless.
Thanks,
Ash

Isn't it amazing what consumers will demand?

I'm sure I would have enjoyed one when I was the right age! So did you ever stick cardboard in your spokes to make a motor sound?

I sure wouldn't want to foster an interest in motorcycles in my kids by buying one of those, but I think they look pretty cool! (I'm a former motorcyclist, so I'm guilty of "do what I say, not what I did.")

Pretty cool rides there.
I agree. Thats why I will buy my kids the real thing. 
But they will stay on the dirt until they are a bit older.

You beat me to it!
My feeling is that the best time to learn to ride a motorcycle is when you're a kid.
That way you'll be a better rider as an adult, whether you ride alot or not.
I've recently taken my 7 yr old out on our tandem recumbent trike with the 2 little sisters in the trailer.
I let him drive.
Yes, I let my 7 yr old Captain the family tandem rig with little sisters onboard.
He's quite capable of stering and braking appropriately. I pedaled from the backseat and used the 3 speeds controlled by the Stoker.
We stuck close to the neighborhood and didn't take really busy streets, as he's kind of new to "driving".
He took to it like a fish to water.
Which is good! If he's gonna be a safe driver when he's 16, I have to start now.
(so he doesn't do what I did)
