I was just thinking that! Curious, the method you use to stand up a heavy Harley would work just the same for a youth rider on a dirt bike? I've always been on four wheels, so this new to me.
A fella can really enjoy a video of Dad and son's bonding going out and riding the dirt bikes in the mud! Bailey's bike was ill prepared for this ride but hey having fun together!
How old is Derrick? Your kids are going to wear you out. That's a good thing. One of these days you'll be eating nothing but dirt and rocks when they come ripping right by doing wheelies and you will never catch em.
@@ViceGripLodge Hey and watch those knees! I was riding in the woods of Costa Rica on a newer 250 KTM 2stroke and trying to keep up with 20 somethings and blew out my knee for the third time! Be careful! I’m also 56 so, you know.
We need more fathers like you. Boy falls (or girl) and you don't rush over to help and brush off the dirt. Just the encouragement & instruction so they can accomplish something themselves. Great parenting!
I lost my dad when I was 19. Riding was something we enjoyed together but didn't get to do a lot of. I'm sitting at my desk at work and I was finished an hour ago. I couldn't stop watching. To you, it's probably just spending time with your boys. To some of us, it was a video full of teary eyed smiling. The high 5 at the top of the hill got me. You absolutely made their week. Seriously, thank you for sharing that experience. You're an awesome guy and an amazing father.
Such a great dad.. my dad taught me so much and this reminds me of him. He died in 2006 at 95. Your boys will look back and remember all these great times.
Those 44 minutes put a smile on my face and a tear in my eyes too. My dad (passed in 2015 and miss him terribly) hated dirt bikes but gave in to me when I was 14 so that I could buy my first one with my grass cutting money. 1974 Suzuki TS100 for $350 in 1980. I loved riding and kept dirt bikes for almost 40 years (mostly Honda CR250's). When my sons became old enough, we started to ride together and your videos took me back to a cherished time. They are now 27 and 26, have their careers started, girlfriends, truck payments, etc. You're a great dad and it's insanely important to take some time away do this with your sons. Thanks for sharing your day with us just to keep those memories alive.
Those suzuki TS models were great. I sadly sold mine several years ago ( mine was a 1973 ts185) bought it back in the mid 2000s when I was a lot younger for I believe $50. Needed a LOT work then and right up to when I sold it. Ol girl was stubborn sometimes to start but when she finally fired up, she just kept going and going.
I don't have time for cars these days. My 3 boys still wonder about my old race car that none of them have ever seen start and run. But, we're riding dirt bikes. Such a great way to spend time with your kids when you find time. Building memories.
Thanks Bailey&Bentley for lettin us go along for the trip. Slimy mud,wet leaf covered rocks, mud holes,and y’all came back with no broken bones or teeth!!!!!!! Good job boys!
This was an absolute joy to watch!! You reminded me of how my husband took our 3 little humans(2 boys and 1 girl) out on dirt bikes. Memories they will never forget our lose. Their dad passed away July 26 2019. Thank you so much!! They sat and watched this with and just smiled.
I'm so very sorry to hear that you lost your husband. May God bless you and your wonderful family. We all love you.💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏 The Vise grip family love's ya.
I cannot express how it warms my heart seeing a father and his sons creating memories that will be talked about and remembered for years to come between them.
Derick you truly are an idol. From the time you spend turning wrenches with your boys in the garage to moments like this. It’s the little moments like this mean so much to your boys as they get older. Really tugging on a ol’ boys heart strings. Keep it up buddy
Derek, I have to say that this video really pulled on my heartstrings as you said. I lost my father when I was about Bailey‘s age and missed out on a lot of opportunities such as this with him. Seeing you spend quality time with your sons is awesome. I am married now and trying to start a family of my own and hope to enjoy moments just like this. Been watching your channel for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. You and your family are an inspiration and it’s awesome to see where you guys are now. Keep up the great work!
I kept turning my head looking over my shoulder for Bailey and Bentley like I was on the trail with yall. Great job guys. Kinda felt bad for Bailey though, he definitely needed a dirt bike on that trail.
Pit bikes are fun but those 65 sized wheels definitely limit where you can go, especially as a beginner rider. Still it's fun to try as a kid. I never had a pit bike growing up, but I rode plenty of them. They're fun on mini tracks but for trails my XR80 or later on a KLX125 was a lot more fun. I was 10 inches from touching the ground on my RMZ250 so I never rode trails on that thing.
Well I'll be dipped! This brings back so many memories. My little brother and I grew up on these. We had little 50s Yamaha and Hondas, then Suzuki 100, YZ 80 while my alcoholic,mechanic crazy dad rode a Husqvarna 250. Boy did we have some times and lots of scars to prove it. After that it was 4x4 square bodies we built from junk. But we sure tore up the sandunes out in west TX!!🎉 I love what you're doing with your boys, it got me motivated to revive my 79 for my nephew. Unfortunately my brother passed away a couple years ago. Anywho I'm rambling, keep up the good work Derek!
Loved this video, Derek! Nothing better than seeing a father spending time with his kids,and being a role model for his sons of how to be a good dad,you are to commended for taking time out of your busy schedule to fill that responsibility .This is a rare thing in our self-driven society, and I am glad to see an exception to the norm.
My kids are in their 30's now, but this sure brings back memories of them learning to ride. I'm choking up with pride for you boys. Good job! Have fun. Be safe!
Derek, I love watching you be an amazing Father to your little humans. You just made more amazing memories for you and the boys and thanks so much for you, Jessica and the kids in what you do and for sharing with us 😊 ❤️
Love this…brings me to tears! You are so very blessed, and so are your sons. Many of us could only dream of our fathers spending quality time with us. This just warms my heart! Thank you for including us all in the adventures with your family. You’re a dream dad! So proud of you! These boys will never forget these memories!
My entire life I was set on not having any kids but boy does Derek make a guy rethink that.... So much respect and admiration for what he does and how he does all of it!
After having 2 boys you actually get to relive your youth and see the enjoyment through their eyes 😊. Play with Legos, RC cars, dirt bikes go to movies etc…❤
We’re all reminiscing of our own childhood while watching this video Derek. In this crazy world, it’s wonderful to see there are still families like yours living the dream. Your boys don’t know it yet, but they will look back at this day as a great memory they will cherish forever. You’re doing awesome things Derek. I sure do admire you. Thanks for taking me back in time and remembering how my Dad did his best to be a good father. ❤️
Derek, you are a guys guy. This is the "good stuff" right here. My dad taught me everything I know about wrenching. With that, I'm making a pretty decent side gig out of it and will make it full time when I retire from my real job in 5 years. I still have fond memories of us doing this through the everglades when I was a kid. I can't remember wheat i had for lunch yesterday, but remember riding wheelers when I was 6. Keep up the good work Derek. These boys are only young once.
"Did the right thing and made them both run"... my man I needed that today!!! I love dirt biking with my girls and love making stuff run since I was also knee-high to a grasshopper! I haven't really commented before, but I've fallen in love with your content over the last few months!!! Keep it up, you are an excellent mechanic, comedian and probably the best family man out there...so refreshing!!!
Dirt bike riding with the family always builds memories they’ll never forget. My kids have been riding since they were 4 they’re now teenagers and still love riding. I think they’ll do it the rest of their lives.❤
Those boys will always remember these times. I'm glad to see you making time for the family. I wish my dad had done these kinds of things with me. A fella's gotta say though, get Bailey a real bike for Pete's sake! He struggled the most with that thing. LOL
My first bike when I was 10 was a BRAND NEW Honda Elsinore MR 50. Took the governor off, and that was my daily transportation, and fun. Country life in Longbranch Washington in 1981. Yer' doing your boys right! Love this.
This episode made a guy shed a tear or two as this is how I was raised on bikes and wheelers. Your raising those kiddos as good as any good ole boy could imagine. Love to see it. Hopefully they follow in their fathers footsteps!
Brings a tear to my eye watching this one. I have fond memories of riding with my dad through the trails. I now ride with my son and cherish the time we spend together.
My older brother was in the army back in 1974 and I was 14 he came in from fort bragg and took me to the Suzuki dealer and bought me a brand new ts/100 man that motorcycle set me free.
Going thru the comments, it’s amazing how similar our upbringings were! I’m a 2-stroke feller for sure! Had a QR50 to start with, then a PW80 and ended up with a DT50. After that it was time to grow up with work and responsibilities. Now I should be able to blame my 40 year-crisis and get me a bike again! ☺️
This video absolutely put a huge smile on my face. It brought back so many fond memories of riding dirt bikes with my family. I got my 1980 Honda Z50 when I was 6 and then jumped up to a 1981 Honda XR200 when I was older. I remember my dad showing me how to work on my bike (and later my car) also riding ahead to check out trails just like you did for your kids. Derick, you are one fine human being and a great father! Thank you for sharing this special moment with the world!
This is awesome! I’m a feller who’s considerably older than you Derek, but I too spent my youth on dirt bikes and this is a fantastic way to have some family time! Stay safe a God bless you all! 👍👍
man. its amazing the simple fun u can have just bee boppin aroind on a dirtbike with kids. i gt 2 kiddos learnin on theyre firsts. its worth every penny when you smile with pride
Vice Grip Garage I vote for. It would be cool to see you work on the bike as well . BTW you are truly blessed by the hands of God and I love the way you talk to them and show them how to get things done. I only wish that there were more parents like you and Jessica.
This is now one of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along with you guys because let's face it the cameras can not only be a pain in the butt at times.
Takes me back to riding with my son and his friends! Your boys are naturals.I'm rebuilding the engine on an old Golwing this winter, but next I think I'll fix up the old dirt bikes, for when my son AND grandson visit. For me, 73 is not too old to ride:)
Most dads would start their kids out on a dry trail on a sunny day on mostly level terrain. Not Derek, he's a, if you want to learn to swim, I'll just toss you in the deep end kind of guy. Probably why we love him so much. I noticed a real difference between the way Bentley was riding in the early part of the ride to the way he rode on the way back. He definitely gained some confidence and started riding more with his feet on the pegs than off. He's going to be an excellent motorcyclist as he gains more experience. Fun watching you guys out their enjoying the nice weather, lol.
Just bought my boy Bryce a 2004 KX65 in October for his tenth birthday. First full clutch ride and he is currently ripping up the lawn! Here in Maine you have to have a 12 hour rider safety course to ride off your own property, gonna get him signed up so in the spring we can head out for the trails! Thank you for sharing this!!
As much as I love all the car content and other stuff, this is now my favorite thing y'all have ever shared!!! As y'all can likely tell from my Avatar, I love two-wheeled Adventures and the fact that Derek is such an incredible father teaching his kids all these valuable life skills that I look forward to doing the same with my own one day!
Nothing better than a 2stroke bud. Had a DT125 and then had a 92 KX250. Both great bikes but the KX250 was my favorite and I miss it. I would love to find another one. Like you I gave it up and went to street bikes. Been riding Harleys for many years. You are a good dad doing things with your boys. They will never forget.
I was raised on dirt bikes as well. When my son turned 8, I got him a cr80 and I bought a used CR 500 for myself. He out grew the 80 and wanted a 125. I got a deal on a CR 250 so he went straight to that. You're a great dad. If more fathers did things like this there wouldn't be as many kids on drugs.
this was really nice and wholesome to watch, your kids are lucky to have you. sadly i didn’t have my dad around when i was younger to make memories like these, granted i’m still 16 almost 17, either way, your a great father. keep it up!
I came across your videos awhile ago and watched about a hundred or so now and can tell we'd be best friends from your country music lyric drops, taste in vehicles and general good nature about you. Cheers from Oregon.
What I was thinking too that littlebuke hasn't near he type of torque or the suspension to get over the logs and rocks and whatnot never mind the mud and clay
Nothing like wrenching on a good ol' 2 stroke. Great way to learn mechanicals and lighter on the trail. Nowadays I stick mostly to 4-stroke (WR250) enduros that allow me to ride street legal back roads and to the trail. They've come down significantly in weight (power to weight ratio), when compared to my old XT350. Enjoyed watching you teach the youngins, patience and understanding go a long way. Keep up the 2-wheel fun.
Remember it well. Suzuki 400. Front wheel plowed out from under it as that beast was prone to do. It was on my leg. My other leg was on the bike. Exhaust pipe branding my leg. Nobody for miles. Took an hour to work out from under it. You figure things out when you have to. Good times! 😄
Fun to watch. Had a 74 Honda SL100 4 stroke. What a blast. Blew a fuse about ten miles back in Wherehouser roads and figured out I could wrap the aluminum from a piece of gum around the fuse to get me home. Good thing there wasn't a short. I learned about them later. The fuse never blew again. I don't know. I'm 60 now so that was a minute ago. Awesome video Derek, Thank You!
Man this is one of my favorite episodes yet. I've been a bike guy since I was young back in the 70s. I got my son his first bike a Yamaha ttr 50 when he was 6. I've restored a lot of old 70s Japanese bikes, both road and dirt. I know what your saying about the price of dirt bikes lately (crazy!) I have a modern 4 stroke myself WR 450 but I'm going to buy a 2 stroke next. I had a CR 500 for a while and in Utah out in the desert it was a blast! Some of the best times with my son were on the bikes! Please do more motorcycle stories!
Well I'll be dipped!!!! Dirt biking AND offroading in one day....saaaweeet 👌😁😎 very nice time spent teaching n enjoying time off with the kiddos can't get much better than that 😎 I myself love the four wheeler flavor lil to wild on the two wheel style but still very enjoyable thanks for taking us along Derick n kids 😉
I just watched this video, I’m a new subscriber. Loved watching you and the boys riding together. I rode with my dad off road in the 70’s and always wanted to do that with my kids. Sadly my body had other plans and I never got any little ones of my own. But it’s great to see your videos and how much you include your family in so many things. Thanks for all the great content.
I remember back in 1992 when I got my 1982 Yamaha YZ490... never been so terrified and excited all at the same time in my life.. There is NOTHING like the feeling when a big bore 2 stroke hits its power band.. It reminds me of Star Wars when you see a space ship hit warp speed. Everything blurs by.. but it sure is exhilarating! ..... and terrifying!
I had the same flavor as i grew up but a 100.. my dad bought it blown up and he taught me how to rebuild them. Its absolutely amazing that you continue the tradition!
I remember taking my young fella for a blast thru the bush in NZ one time, And I hadn't ridden for a while, But the next day I was sore All-over from muscles I hadn't used for a while, But super fun time bonding with the boy ! I had a 2002 YZ426F and Son had a 125cc chinese pitbike. Those were the days ! ❤
That honda 100r is the nicest I've seen and probably the nicest restored 100r out there. And the deal your boy got on it, made my jaw drop. I cant believe that's all he paid. Congratulations to your boy for getting a deal like that. Well, Godbless you and your wife and your boys. Take care, Steve.
This video brought back many memories of my dad and I going dirt bike riding every Sunday in the 1980s trust me that your boys will always cherish these moments when they get older you're an awesome father for doing that
My first bike was a Yamaha JT2 60 (1972). My dad bought it for me but said, you work on it to keep it running....I did. I'm so glad you're teaching your kids to be responsible.
Love that 2 stroke 250 sound. Brought back some serious gall dern memories hearing that. Also, reminded me of the looking back and seeing my buddy put his tires right where they shouldnt go which repeatedly put him in a ditch or laid over or smacked by a rock or who knows how many different ways he was incredibly talented at finding so we'd all have to stop and help him. Told him a million times, if youre front tire goes into the slop, your rear tire will too. But nah, he never listened one bit. Slip that rear end out and down he'd go. Every rut, rock and root had his name on it. Haha MAN those were good times! Great vidyuh bud. Enjoyed this a whole hell of a lot!
Love it.. Yup, 50+ years ago hammering the trails on a 72 Honda, if it broke you just has to figure it out. My dad help me as much as he could, however he was blind by the time I was 10 and at 16 I became his driver. Still lots' of great memories .. God bless
glad you're doing something with him now. my son is 40 and I now have the time to spend quality time with him. however he is busy now. it's the whole Cat's in the Cradle song for sure
2 stroke of course! I haven’t rode in 30 years. My grandson loves to ride and got me back into it so I started looking and found a 2005 YZ250 with 5 original hours on it, bran new!!! Well I bit off more than I can chew lmao! This thing is a beast of a bike which I knew but I did t think my skill went so down hill over the years because back in the day it’s all I did. But anyway I love it and it’s awesome watching you and the boys on bikes. Do some more of these. Be safe and enjoy!
Thank you for showing your day out with the boys. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was a kid. My Dad would take me and my two brothers and even my Mom out to ride on the logging roads when we lived just outside of Vancouver B.C. Great times. Yes 5 bikes. Three small bikes in the back of our early 70’s Ford van and the two bigger bikes on a trailer.
Maybe the guys from bikes and beards can help you get that old harley running
I was just thinking that! Curious, the method you use to stand up a heavy Harley would work just the same for a youth rider on a dirt bike? I've always been on four wheels, so this new to me.
I sniff a collab coming on.
Sean!!!
Them boys could use some decent used dirt bikes !!! I know your a man that can make things happen !!!
Fully support this collab!
Need more Dads like this.
A fella can really enjoy a video of Dad and son's bonding going out and riding the dirt bikes in the mud! Bailey's bike was ill prepared for this ride but hey having fun together!
A guy can’t express enough how much he loved watching this! Reminds me of my dad and myself back when. You’re a great dad to your little humans!
Leave that pit bike for practicing around the house! Your a good dad!
much appreciated!
@@ViceGripLodge you’re welcome! Can’t wait to see y’all down in Florida again at cleetus and cars in a few weeks. Coming down from Buffalo NY
How old is Derrick? Your kids are going to wear you out. That's a good thing. One of these days you'll be eating nothing but dirt and rocks when they come ripping right by doing wheelies and you will never catch em.

We need more fathers like you. Boy falls (or girl) and you don't rush over to help and brush off the dirt. Just the encouragement & instruction so they can accomplish something themselves. Great parenting!
I think the most impressive part of the whole deal is that Bailey fought through all of that muck in a pit bike. He's a trooper.
Darn right, glad he's breaking out of his shell and embracing how awesome this stuff is.
I lost my dad when I was 19. Riding was something we enjoyed together but didn't get to do a lot of. I'm sitting at my desk at work and I was finished an hour ago. I couldn't stop watching.

I'd like to see the bike on vice grip garage. Never bad to mix things up from time to time.
YES! Let's see that "Fraken-Harley" in the shop! Cleaned a bit and brought back so's the tires see some inappropriate wear!🏍️😎
Ya with you there
You know what'd really throw peeps for a loop, lodge fix the bike..can't say I've seen a revival on lodge
Such a great dad.. my dad taught me so much and this reminds me of him. He died in 2006 at 95. Your boys will look back and remember all these great times.
One of the best ways to spend time with the little humans.

A great video I love it
Just smile and keep moving forward Julie 💪
Bailey is the hero of that ride. Smallest bike and no clutch. Bravo to the kiddo
Gotta take some time with them boys on the other fun things too! Thanks Derek, Jess, & Boys for the good times watchin!
I cannot express how it warms my heart seeing a father and his sons creating memories that will be talked about and remembered for years to come between them.
Your a good dad, Derrick. Your boys will always remember this forever. Dont stop until you cant any longer.
I was raised on 2 strokes as a kid ,when I got older I saved my money an bought a YZ 490 in 1981,and to this day I still have it,😊
Derick you truly are an idol. From the time you spend turning wrenches with your boys in the garage to moments like this. It’s the little moments like this mean so much to your boys as they get older. Really tugging on a ol’ boys heart strings. Keep it up buddy

Father of the year! I love it. I raised 2 sons who are now adults and I miss those great times when they were young.
That looked like a whole lotta fun. I wish my dad had done things like this when I was young. Those boys are having the time of their lives.
I kept turning my head looking over my shoulder for Bailey and Bentley like I was on the trail with yall. Great job guys. Kinda felt bad for Bailey though, he definitely needed a dirt bike on that trail.
Yeah, I completely agree with you.
We definitely bit off a LOT that day !

Guy has to play as hard as he works.
Great video. Thanks for taking us along. I’m 53 and my favorite memories are the times spent with my dad.
Thanks Derek,love how willing you are, as a dad,to take the time for man time with the boys, they will never forget that you took this time with them.

Derek, I love watching you be an amazing Father to your little humans. You just made more amazing memories for you and the boys and thanks so much for you, Jessica and the kids in what you do and for sharing with us 😊 ❤️
Love this…brings me to tears! You are so very blessed, and so are your sons. Many of us could only dream of our fathers spending quality time with us. This just warms my heart! Thank you for including us all in the adventures with your family. You’re a dream dad! So proud of you! These boys will never forget these memories!
Bringing fond memories of dad in the garage. We lost him this year. Thanks for the show. Really needed and loved it.
Love to see the family grow. Those tiny humans each of us have are what it’s all about. No doubt they will remember this forever
My entire life I was set on not having any kids but boy does Derek make a guy rethink that.... So much respect and admiration for what he does and how he does all of it!

"Gotta wait till it's 300 degrees and comes out scalding hot" "sounds smart" lmao he's definitely your son.
Also need to see more of that harley
Derek, you are a guys guy. This is the "good stuff" right here. My dad taught me everything I know about wrenching.

Those boys will always remember these times. I'm glad to see you making time for the family. I wish my dad had done these kinds of things with me. A fella's gotta say though, get Bailey a real bike for Pete's sake! He struggled the most with that thing. LOL
My first bike when I was 10 was a BRAND NEW Honda Elsinore MR 50. Took the governor off, and that was my daily transportation, and fun. Country life in Longbranch Washington in 1981. Yer' doing your boys right! Love this.
This episode made a guy shed a tear or two as this is how I was raised on bikes and wheelers. Your raising those kiddos as good as any good ole boy could imagine. Love to see it. Hopefully they follow in their fathers footsteps!
Brings a tear to my eye watching this one. I have fond memories of riding with my dad through the trails. I now ride with my son and cherish the time we spend together.
My older brother was in the army back in 1974 and I was 14 he came in from fort bragg and took me to the Suzuki dealer and bought me a brand new ts/100 man that motorcycle set me free.
Great Dad & Great boys having fun together- NOTHING BETTER TO WATCH THAN THIS - WELL DONE
Best vid yet Derek. Those boys are having THE best life, ever.
Slicker’n a Hot Snickers! Looks like a fun time. The boys will tell stories of this day to your great great grandkids.
Going thru the comments, it’s amazing how similar our upbringings were!
I’m a 2-stroke feller for sure! Had a QR50 to start with, then a PW80 and ended up with a DT50. After that it was time to grow up with work and responsibilities. Now I should be able to blame my 40 year-crisis and get me a bike again! ☺️
The laughter at unloading ”oh we are gonna get dirty today”! Epic!
I love. To watch you have fun with those boys...brings back the time I did youth tractor pulling with my 3...boys. What a blessing..
This video absolutely put a huge smile on my face. It brought back so many fond memories of riding dirt bikes with my family. I got my 1980 Honda Z50 when I was 6 and then jumped up to a 1981 Honda XR200 when I was older. I remember my dad showing me how to work on my bike (and later my car) also riding ahead to check out trails just like you did for your kids. Derick, you are one fine human being and a great father! Thank you for sharing this special moment with the world!
This is awesome! I’m a feller who’s considerably older than you Derek, but I too spent my youth on dirt bikes and this is a fantastic way to have some family time! Stay safe a God bless you all! 👍👍
man. its amazing the simple fun u can have just bee boppin aroind on a dirtbike with kids. i gt 2 kiddos learnin on theyre firsts. its worth every penny when you smile with pride
Vice Grip Garage I vote for. It would be cool to see you work on the bike as well . BTW you are truly blessed by the hands of God and I love the way you talk to them and show them how to get things done. I only wish that there were more parents like you and Jessica.
This is now one of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along with you guys because let's face it the cameras can not only be a pain in the butt at times.
Takes me back to riding with my son and his friends! Your boys are naturals.I'm rebuilding the engine on an old Golwing this winter, but next I think I'll fix up the old dirt bikes, for when my son AND grandson visit. For me, 73 is not too old to ride:)
Most dads would start their kids out on a dry trail on a sunny day on mostly level terrain. Not Derek, he's a, if you want to learn to swim, I'll just toss you in the deep end kind of guy. Probably why we love him so much. I noticed a real difference between the way Bentley was riding in the early part of the ride to the way he rode on the way back. He definitely gained some confidence and started riding more with his feet on the pegs than off. He's going to be an excellent motorcyclist as he gains more experience. Fun watching you guys out their enjoying the nice weather, lol.
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time because you had your boys with you and you were out just having fun
Just bought my boy Bryce a 2004 KX65 in October for his tenth birthday. First full clutch ride and he is currently ripping up the lawn! Here in Maine you have to have a 12 hour rider safety course to ride off your own property, gonna get him signed up so in the spring we can head out for the trails! Thank you for sharing this!!
God bless you Derek, these memories you're making with your boys are absolutely priceless. Love from the UK.
As much as I love all the car content and other stuff, this is now my favorite thing y'all have ever shared!!! As y'all can likely tell from my Avatar, I love two-wheeled Adventures and the fact that Derek is such an incredible father teaching his kids all these valuable life skills that I look forward to doing the same with my own one day!
Nothing better than a 2stroke bud. Had a DT125 and then had a 92 KX250. Both great bikes but the KX250 was my favorite and I miss it. I would love to find another one. Like you I gave it up and went to street bikes. Been riding Harleys for many years. You are a good dad doing things with your boys. They will never forget.
I was raised on dirt bikes as well. When my son turned 8, I got him a cr80 and I bought a used CR 500 for myself. He out grew the 80 and wanted a 125. I got a deal on a CR 250 so he went straight to that. You're a great dad. If more fathers did things like this there wouldn't be as many kids on drugs.
this was really nice and wholesome to watch, your kids are lucky to have you. sadly i didn’t have my dad around when i was younger to make memories like these, granted i’m still 16 almost 17, either way, your a great father. keep it up!
I came across your videos awhile ago and watched about a hundred or so now and can tell we'd be best friends from your country music lyric drops, taste in vehicles and general good nature about you. Cheers from Oregon.
Bailey is a trooper for hitting those trails on a pitty. Well done boys!
What I was thinking too that littlebuke hasn't near he type of torque or the suspension to get over the logs and rocks and whatnot never mind the mud and clay
Nothing like wrenching on a good ol' 2 stroke. Great way to learn mechanicals and lighter on the trail. Nowadays I stick mostly to 4-stroke (WR250) enduros that allow me to ride street legal back roads and to the trail. They've come down significantly in weight (power to weight ratio), when compared to my old XT350. Enjoyed watching you teach the youngins, patience and understanding go a long way. Keep up the 2-wheel fun.
Nothing better than to see a dad spending time with two terrific sons. Enjoy Derek they grow up quick 😊🇺🇸
Bentleys realization when he realized that’s why his front end wobbles 😂 reminds me of my younger self.
Back in the day we never thought of if something went wrong unless you wasn't at the dinner table 😂
Remember it well. Suzuki 400. Front wheel plowed out from under it as that beast was prone to do. It was on my leg. My other leg was on the bike. Exhaust pipe branding my leg. Nobody for miles. Took an hour to work out from under it. You figure things out when you have to. Good times! 😄
FUN TIMES! Thank you!!! I alway's enjoy whatever you show us.. Family adventures on the dirt bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dirt bike family fun!!
What’s up buff
@@LunarOutlawsGarage hello lunar
That was great Derek you are great dad with great kids nothing like dirt biking with your kids .
Fun to watch. Had a 74 Honda SL100 4 stroke. What a blast. Blew a fuse about ten miles back in Wherehouser roads and figured out I could wrap the aluminum from a piece of gum around the fuse to get me home. Good thing there wasn't a short. I learned about them later. The fuse never blew again. I don't know. I'm 60 now so that was a minute ago. Awesome video Derek, Thank You!
Well, I’ll be dipped! Awesome! What a great way to raise the kids, man! That’s awesome!! Right on, Derek!
I like how your family with you all the time. I used to dirt bike ride with my boys to. Brought back memories.
Man this is one of my favorite episodes yet. I've been a bike guy since I was young back in the 70s. I got my son his first bike a Yamaha ttr 50 when he was 6. I've restored a lot of old 70s Japanese bikes, both road and dirt. I know what your saying about the price of dirt bikes lately (crazy!) I have a modern 4 stroke myself WR 450 but I'm going to buy a 2 stroke next. I had a CR 500 for a while and in Utah out in the desert it was a blast! Some of the best times with my son were on the bikes! Please do more motorcycle stories!
Well I'll be dipped!!!! Dirt biking AND offroading in one day....saaaweeet 👌😁😎 very nice time spent teaching n enjoying time off with the kiddos can't get much better than that 😎 I myself love the four wheeler flavor lil to wild on the two wheel style but still very enjoyable thanks for taking us along Derick n kids 😉
I just watched this video, I’m a new subscriber. Loved watching you and the boys riding together. I rode with my dad off road in the 70’s and always wanted to do that with my kids. Sadly my body had other plans and I never got any little ones of my own. But it’s great to see your videos and how much you include your family in so many things. Thanks for all the great content.
I remember back in 1992 when I got my 1982 Yamaha YZ490... never been so terrified and excited all at the same time in my life.. There is NOTHING like the feeling when a big bore 2 stroke hits its power band.. It reminds me of Star Wars when you see a space ship hit warp speed. Everything blurs by.. but it sure is exhilarating! ..... and terrifying!
I had the same flavor as i grew up but a 100.. my dad bought it blown up and he taught me how to rebuild them. Its absolutely amazing that you continue the tradition!
Some wings and cold snacks do sound good! Great video, goid times for the boys. Great memories for sure!
I remember taking my young fella for a blast thru the bush in NZ one time, And I hadn't ridden for a while, But the next day I was sore All-over from muscles I hadn't used for a while, But super fun time bonding with the boy ! I had a 2002 YZ426F and Son had a 125cc chinese pitbike. Those were the days ! ❤
Grew up on 2-strokes. Evertime I smell the 2-smoke exhaust, it takes me back to my happy place.
That honda 100r is the nicest I've seen and probably the nicest restored 100r out there. And the deal your boy got on it, made my jaw drop. I cant believe that's all he paid. Congratulations to your boy for getting a deal like that. Well, Godbless you and your wife and your boys. Take care, Steve.
This video brought back many memories of my dad and I going dirt bike riding every Sunday in the 1980s trust me that your boys will always cherish these moments when they get older you're an awesome father for doing that
I can see you are very proud of your boys. Father and sons enjoyable time together. Made you some good brownie points with the boys.
My first bike was a Yamaha JT2 60 (1972). My dad bought it for me but said, you work on it to keep it running....I did. I'm so glad you're teaching your kids to be responsible.
That was awesome what a great exsperiance for your boys . Your a great dad
Outstanding!!! Watch this one smiling all the way through
Love that 2 stroke 250 sound. Brought back some serious gall dern memories hearing that.
Also, reminded me of the looking back and seeing my buddy put his tires right where they shouldnt go which repeatedly put him in a ditch or laid over or smacked by a rock or who knows how many different ways he was incredibly talented at finding so we'd all have to stop and help him. Told him a million times, if youre front tire goes into the slop, your rear tire will too. But nah, he never listened one bit. Slip that rear end out and down he'd go. Every rut, rock and root had his name on it. Haha MAN those were good times!
Great vidyuh bud. Enjoyed this a whole hell of a lot!
2 smoke all the way, baby! would love to see more bike content on your channel(s)! Some rescues, rebuilds. etc.
Love it.. Yup, 50+ years ago hammering the trails on a 72 Honda, if it broke you just has to figure it out. My dad help me as much as he could, however he was blind by the time I was 10 and at 16 I became his driver. Still lots' of great memories .. God bless
It looks like that grin and smile will never wash off Derek. 😊😊😊
Grew up on 4 strokes, but always loved and wanted a 2 stroke. Hearing stories amd whatching old home videos of my dad on his cr500
glad you're doing something with him now. my son is 40 and I now have the time to spend quality time with him. however he is busy now. it's the whole Cat's in the Cradle song for sure
2 stroke of course! I haven’t rode in 30 years. My grandson loves to ride and got me back into it so I started looking and found a 2005 YZ250 with 5 original hours on it, bran new!!! Well I bit off more than I can chew lmao! This thing is a beast of a bike which I knew but I did t think my skill went so down hill over the years because back in the day it’s all I did. But anyway I love it and it’s awesome watching you and the boys on bikes. Do some more of these. Be safe and enjoy!
I can just smell this video! Wet trees and mud, my favorite!
Thank you for showing your day out with the boys. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was a kid. My Dad would take me and my two brothers and even my Mom out to ride on the logging roads when we lived just outside of Vancouver B.C. Great times. Yes 5 bikes. Three small bikes in the back of our early 70’s Ford van and the two bigger bikes on a trailer.
