For a split second, I thought my 4 y/o was gonna get my ass kicked today

I took my 4 y/o daughter to lunch today at a local burger joint. When we got there, the place was packed but there was room on their deck/outdoor patio that looks over the parking lot. We grab a table and we're waiting for our food when this big (and I mean big) guy on a motorcycle pulls up. This guy looks like he takes no shit. After coming to a stop, he somehow fails to put down his kickstand and lays the bike down in the parking lot. Another guy from the patio goes to help him stand it up, and he enters the restaurant.

Like I said, the restaurant was packed, so the biker comes to the patio to grab the only table in the whole place. When he walks by, my daughter says, "I think you need training wheels." I about died, and after spitting my coke back into my cup, I prepared to apologize for my 4 y/o to a man who looked like he could pummel me into another dimension.

Instead, he laughed and said, "I think you're right, sweetheart." The whole patio erupted in laughter. Later, he had a slice of pie sent to our table for us. It all turned out to be a memorable story we'll probably laugh about for years.
 
@sampaul Big dirty leather clad chuckles and smiles. Way to go, baby girl. Way to go.

I love letting kids sit on my bike while their parents take pictures. 99% of riders/bikers are good people with big hearts.

Thank you for posting this. A good way to wrap up the week.
 
@nicolakirwan There's a group of bikers in my area the regularly do rides for children's charities,cancer rides etc. I love those guys, they even sat in the court room supporting my kid, who they didn't even know, as she faced her abuser. Fuck stereotypes about bikers.
 
@pgooch That is awesome…As long as they are against actual child abuse and not fantasy qanon-style conspiracy theory child abuse…sad we have to consider that these days.
 
@fish101 Excuse me? I can be scary when needed. I can be a kitty cat when needed. I am not now and will never be a racist in any shape or form. I have stood down Westboro more than once with my brothers and sisters.
 
@nicolakirwan I didn't mean scary looking, some of Y'all mf look like could kill in a heartbeat, yet most of the ones I've met are like teddy bears in the inside, even there's bikers who will go to court with you if you feel threatened... Y'all keep doing that! ❤️
 
@katieac3 This is absolutely my experience, too. I've known a few people belonging to MCs, and while they won't usually abide any bullshit from assholes, they are stand up people who wouldn't give anyone a hard time that didn't deserve it.
 
@nicolakirwan One of my favourite biking memories is when I was stopped at a traffic light and this little lad was with his mum on the pavement. He was probably about four or five, and he was just standing and staring at me in amazement.

I waved at him and gave the engine a little rev, and his eyes widened. Then he brought his hand from behind his back and pulled out a little toy motorbike with this look of pure, unbridled wonder.

So I pulled over and let him sit on my bike and twist the throttle a bit, he was so excited and it was brilliant.
