Well maybe not the end but considering he has to be with her every second of the day, I see a drastic decrease in riding. Oh well, s**t happens!!!!

Do what every dad SHOULD do and take him to a titty bar. Put your arm around him for that special father son bonding experience and say “Dancers in every city love motocrossers”.
Be ready to buy another practice bike.

I took my son in Tilted Kilt for dinner at about 12 years old. Its like he did not even notice the doubles. I bet at 6'2, and soon to be 15 years old this year he checks out the big doubles.

Ya, Jonathan really didn't have much interest in girls until this year (he is a junior). I was ok with that bc I was interested wayyyyyyy to young in girls and it only got me into trouble way too young. So, he finally realized that they are kind of fun and now it's on. So John once it hits your son, its on and there's no turning back. Not to mention your son looks older than his age so I am sure he will have plenty to chose from.

Knox took Gunner already. Problem was he took him to some discount strip club, now Gunner doesn't want to race.

I took him to a Joey Votto baseball contract signing... 20 million a year will make you rethink these silly dirt scooters.
Honestly though. If you are not born with the passion for the sport, it is never going to happen. Gunnar like my two older boys “likes” to ride but just does not care for the racing aspect. Of course that kind of hurts old Dad feelings. but as my father let me pick my sport or activities then support me with everything he had. I will and have done the same with each of my kids.
I have saw far too many kids in this sport BECAUSE of their parents. Trying to live through their son is an awful way to waste HIS childhood.
If your kid picks T&A over premix... buy him a box of condoms. They are cheaper than tear-offs.

Ya, I let and encouraged Jonathan to try many different sports but once he threw his leg over a bike nothing else mattered, he was hooked. But now girls enter the picture so we will see who wins.

Bikes will win.
Bike is here before the woman. It will be here long after the woman.

Agree. Racing was part of my life when I started dating my wife 30 years ago. My son quit football. That hurt, the wife and I love football. But he picked up the golf clubs and did well playing HS Golf. He also is a really good basketball player and does that in the winter. But I think he saw football as cutting into racing, with JV football on Saturdays, and film on sundays, etc. Truth be known, I think that is why football went by the wayside.

Georgie, I think Dave is right about this, at least initially, then eventually they come back to riding.

I didn’t have a girlfriend until college. All I wanted to do was ride. And see the girls at the track.
im shocked you are even married......
Jonathan will learn to understand what Georgie was saying about the bike was here before and will be here after the woman. But itll take him a few heartbreaks and missed races/riding opportunities.
