As new dads, Ari and Zack are out to prove that putting children on motorcycles should be as normal and accepted as putting a baby on a bicycle or in a car. The guys have a series of tests, from the playground to the racetrack, to show their families and any other mother or father naysayers that motorbikes are the wave of the future.

Patiently waiting for Alpinestars to unveil the "tech air baby" infant airbag vest.

As a father whose daughters are all grown up and in their 30's, I shed some tears at the end when Zack said to go slow. Thanks guys. Memories.

True story! In 1993, when my son was 4 years old, I took him for a ride on my Suzuki dual sport. He was on back holding on for dear life as we were ripping along on top of a levee. We came upon an unexpected large sink hole covered by grass. At about 40 MPH I had no time to react, and the bike did an endo! My son rode my back all the way to the ground and through my entire face slide! I broke a coupe of fingers, but barely noticed my pain as I was immediately concerned about my son. No need to be concerned; he was giggling uncontrollably and said "do it again Daddy, do it again"! I of course gave him the warning as we limped the bike back home, "do not tell your mother or you'll never be allowed to ride with me again"! Telling mom was the very first thing he did when we got home!

As a father of a 15 year old girl who has never shown any interest in my motorcycles or ever wanted to watch MotoGP or WSBK with me, when she recently asked if I could take her out for a ride on my Scrambler 1200… well I immediately dug out my wife’s old riding gear and took her for a spin. We’ve since gone out a few other times and have had a blast. She’s been asking for me to teach her how to ride so perhaps a little 150cc dirt bike is in her future! Enjoy the time with your kiddos, as cliche as it sounds “they grow up so fast” is unfortunately very true.

"Let's go to the park and father them!" 😂😂😂😂

The wheelie coming home from the hospital had me in tears! :D

My Father was a Motorcycle cop. He would stop home while on the midnight shift and ride me up and down the street a couple of times on his Electra-Glide. All this while I was wearing my bunny feet pajamas.

the "don't tell mom" was so genuine lol

When they showed the Arizona desert I thought “There’s no way they don’t get a cholla cactus stuck in them.” and lo and behold!

"Baby transportation authority" What a way to call the wife 😂

My nephew was five or six years old. His mother gave me a 1976 Hondamatic. He would sit in front of me, and I would let him hold the handlebars and the throttle by himself. Later, I found a minibike that he absolutely loved. He races in NASCAR now, while his brother is an engineer for Amtrak. I am proud of all of my nephews.

Seeing the end with the guys and their real babies gave me the feels. We are so lucky to have kids in our lives. Way to go boys.

Y'all joke but no lie this was my childhood, my dad rigged up all kinds of seats to bring me along on everything, on and off road. Lolol Zachs "front row seat" was pretty much his setup 😂😂😂

They grow up fast... So don't be afraid to go slow As a 23 year old who's not gonna be a dad ANYTIME soon, i still shed a tear ❤ Hands down the best automotive channel on this app. Kudos guys!

Love how they're using their personal bikes! HAHAHA. This episode is an absolute treat

27:52 "Now when we get back to the house, just don't tell mom about this ok?" Classic 🤣

So, in the 70’s and early 80’s my dad had a CB750 and I grew up on the back of it. My mom decided it would be a great idea to get a 50CC moped to ride to work. The only hang up was that she had to drop my baby brother off at the setter on the way. Dad installed a folding bicycle baby seat they already had from when older brother was a baby in the 60’s on it. Every morning she strapped him all bundled up on it with almost 20 year old plastic straps to ride the couple blocks behind her. The things they did back in the day.

When we get home don’t tell your mom okay 😂
