Grandsons first motorcycle ride

Took my seven year old grandson for his first bike ride Sunday.
went about ten miles total, he did great, except just before we got home he started shaking his head violently from side to side, causing a bit of a wobble back there I wasen't expecting. told him to knock it off and he stopped, when I asked what that was all about he answered that I told him to hold on to me and not let go, apparently his forehead was itching and tried to use the side to side motion shaking his helmet to scratch the itch. How could I argue that logic?

Bad habit and bad lesson to teach.

That didn't take long!! I figured I’d here that from someone, :poke2: no excuse but it was one of those spur of the moment moments, I needed to get gas before going to work mon. morning, 90 degrees 100% humidity, I hopped on, he was there and wanted to go. Normally I do where jeans and my jacket but this was a quick trip under 40mph to the station and back.
Besides my experience with kids has been they usually do the exact opposite of what their parents or (grandparents) preach. Maybe it will work out in his favor!
