GIMME A RIDE

We had a nice family outing to the AMA Superbike races. What a treat it was to return to the thrills of motorcycle racing. Luca and Acacia were intrigued by the bikes and all the noise! I think both of their favorite parts was when they got to climb on the motorcycles and pretend they were takin' a ride. The racing "wheelies" were a very close second.

We took several families with us to the races and here all the children lined up at the fence to watch the start of the "super moto" race. Pure Fascination!

Luca got to be right next to the action. He begged and begged both days we were there for us to buy him a motorcycle. He insists that Daddy needs to teach him to ride "right now". His young cousins ride motorcycles in Montana and he thinks he should be doing it too. Luca was born to follow in Daddy's footsteps. What in the world are we doing living in California? (hint hint Tony)

"Just my size Dad! Buy me this one!" Apparently they don't make these little bikes anymore because of the child protection laws. They can only sell bikes designed for ages 12 and up.

Now really, can you tell Luca takes after his Dad? They have the same body shape (poor boy), the same head, the same whine, and they even walk the same way. Like Father, Like Son.

VROOM! VROOM! Such happy days and feeling right at home. It's been a while since Luca's been on a bike, but you would have never known that by watching him.

I think he was born to ride--Uh-Oh

Future AMA racer? (Not if his mama has anything to say about it!)

Let me on! Let me on! Acacia was the first one to climb on a bike. I think we have a future motorcycle mama.

It was tough getting Acacia off the bike. She threw her little fit when it was time to move on.

Happy girl = Happy parents. I guess it's time to invest in some new motorcycles!
