Riding off-highway motorcycles (OHMs) can be an enjoyable form of outdoor recreation when done properly.  With preparation, practice, and parental supervision your youngster can safely develop and expand his or her riding skills. 

Important Note to Parents

Once your youngster is ready to learn to ride, YOU must be familiar with the motorcycle.  You will be serving as teacher, coach, and safety supervisor for your younster.  You must know the controls, handling characteristics, maintenance requirements, and proper riding techniques.  Read and understand the owner's manual and the labels provided with the vehicle.  Review all instructions, requirements, and warnings with your youngster.  Find out about state or local off-highway motorcycle requirements.
