This will never happen for me. While watching MotoGP at Misano (on TV) two weeks ago my oldest son (who is 8) looked up from his iPad in time to watch Lorenzo crash.
"Dad, is motorcycle racing dangerous?"
"Well, yes it can be. Some times you can get hurt. Some times badly"
"I am never doing that daddy because I am way smarter than you".
His mother enjoyed this little exchange just a bit too much. Enjoy Timo!
Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.

It only happened once but it was one of the best days of my life:

Michael Chiniewicz and his two kids, Andrea and Alexander raced a mini-endurance team for a number of seasons a few years ago.

I hope to be part of the club in the next few years. My son had done some track days before heading off tho the Navy. Those days are nearing an end in a couple years and his plans are to move back to the area and eventually race.

Correct! Same with David Branyon (dad), Thomas Branyon (son) and Rachel Branyon (daughter). I know that these families shared an endurance bike, but I'm not sure they were ever on the track in the same race and racing against/with each together at the same time. If they were or if they weren't, this is still interesting stuff.

The list grows. I had the chance to race with my son Kevin @ MSR Houston in 2013 on the CBR 250 and race in another division (F5) @ Eagles Canyon while Kev was on the F4 bike for an endurance . Like Steve said the F4 was a bit faster. LOL... Matter of fact Nicky was Kevin's teammate that day @ Eagles.
Good times for sure.
