Ben’s Outdoor Boys

I was eight years old when I got my first motorcycle, an XR75. I’ve ridden just about everything that’s out there, but my favorite is the Yamaha brand.

When my first son, Michael, came along, I took a picture of him, having been born early and suffering with jaundice, wrapped in a bili blanket watching Supercross with me. At two years old, I was like, “Oh my gosh, he’s the spitting image of me with motorcycles.”

At two, Michael was on a balance bike. At 3 he was on a Stacyc 12E, at 4 he was on a Stacyc 16E, which he still rides today just because it’s so much fun. At 5, he went to a TTR 50. From age 5-7, he bounced between the TTR 50 motorcycle and the TRX 90 Honda ATV. At 7, he was on the TTR 110 motorcycle and Honda Recon ATV. And now at 8 years old, he’s on the YZ65 while I’m on the YZ125.
