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.

Congratz boys! 👶🏽 👶🏽
This would have been a great April 1st video.
Had my first ride of the season with my 7 year old and my 4 year old is clamoring for any chance he can get to go for a ride. Haven't quite sold my wife on a side car yet.
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!
that little snitch
And was he allowed to ride with you agian?
That's awesome!
@@himaro101 Actually, his mom agreed to let me buy him his own Yamaha 50 the next year! I guess she figured he was safer on his own than with me!
😂 haha
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.
🤦♂️
Mines 30 I cried a little too.
That wheelie out of the hospital with a newborn cracked me up. Congrats to both you guys on your new babies. Many years of joy! Mines grown up and not in to bikes like I have always been and thats ok with me. As you have shown, they can be dangerous!
Same. I tear up sometimes when I see dads with little ones. Mine are late 20s and 30s.
Lamest comment I've read all day.
Patiently waiting for Alpinestars to unveil the "tech air baby" infant airbag vest.
Release date is April 1 2025
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.
omg thats cute
My dad used to drop me off at middle school on his Kawasaki Vulcan. I always felt like the coolest kid in school on those days.
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.
Awesome story Sir! As a Dad of 6 kids they really are the best especially when We can enjoy our hobbies together. Honda XR150 ftw!
Coincidentally, my daughter turns 15 today. Still showing zero interest. :)
"Let's go to the park and father them!" 😂😂😂😂
"You don't have leathers yet, but you will when you're a real baby."
Those two lines killed me!
Nowadays, I call her „Union“, since all kids are adults and she’s regulating me nonetheless ….your prank saved my day, thank you…
The wheelie coming home from the hospital had me in tears! :D
timestamp?
Same mate 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!
Seriously! There is no escaping those
I missed riding bikes in Arizona till the post credit reminded me about riding bikes in Arizona.
Well hello gamer
Yep, from Texas and couldn't believe nobody got cactused during that shoot 😅
@@Lizlodude Oh but They did. see the last 30 seconds of the vid
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.
the "don't tell mom" was so genuine lol
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 😂😂😂
No pops but some ol biker pals of mas that would let me steer thru the definition of whiskey throttle
Literally my first motorcycling experience. 👍🏼
@@kj385 they better gard the key's and or don't ever leave it running or untended+lock'd-in-shed my 1st wreck ( was under 4yo'd ) on a bike was a gold wing 80's or early-90's model and my parents decided to turn it into the family's dinner table lolz 😂
happened also with my k1500 2x and or fringe-climbing and running at mechanicals-shop+hursse old man didn't learn quickly enough 😉
i was probably strapped in the back bagger-seat but i don't really remember it well around pre-1999~ SLC-Utah cannons and free-ways etc, in my 30's/nowadays if there was more testing+airbags etc aka modern certification-usa-spec or euro-spec safety equipment and seeing ( some car/SUV drivers are terrible 😉 ) safer driving-others around the bike ( also parents need to be accountable aka no DUI's or something else's like that ) then i wouldn't call cop's/CPS but just telling/letting them hanging on top of the baggage/leathers no seatbelt+airbag's-etc
That settles it… I’m taking my kid out on the bike. I’ve been taking about this with the wife for over a year now, pretty much when my son was born. She thinks the idea is ridiculous. But, as Ari said, in other countries that’s just how you get around.
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.
Kids are financial and emotional drains.
@@lifespanofafry1534 That's the downside of life in general. But there's also an upside and kids are a normal part of life.
@@Neworldisordered name an upside
@@lifespanofafry1534 Describe a beautiful scene to a person who is blind from birth.
@@Neworldisordered No time for your poetics. Name an upside.
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!
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.
I rode on the tank of CB500 with dad an my mom on the back. I sat on a little pillow.
No kidding. Gen X survivor here!
"Baby transportation authority"
What a way to call the wife 😂
Love how they're using their personal bikes! HAHAHA. This episode is an absolute treat
intro = pure gold
whole video = pure gold
13:17 That dude with the pressure washer is having the time of his life lmao
I have seen 2 toddlers, and an infant, riding with Mom in Vietnam, in traffic beyond belief. It is absolutely common in Southeast Asia.
a common thing here. i was actually gonna ask, if the intro was an actual product.. 😂😂😂
Sometimes even grandma!
Yeah it works in Vietnam because they actually drive so damn slow. In these western countries where every 90% of vehicles are those damn SUV/trucks that weight 6 tonnes.. I dunno
Used to routinely see the same family outings in Thailand.
If you just pad the top painer box, it works well. Rain, no problem, shut the lid.
27:52 "Now when we get back to the house, just don't tell mom about this ok?"
Classic 🤣
This has gotta be one of the funniest CTXP episodes yet. Keep up the good work, you guys are killing it👍🏻
showed it to my 6 year old. she hasn't spoken to me since 😂
So happy for both you guys. I never wanted to be a father. Now that I’ve been a father since I was 42 years old, I couldn’t imagine my life without my daughters ❤
When we get home don’t tell your mom okay 😂
After getting run over by the rear tire. I was in stitches.
A friend of mine got her son a small 50cc quad at age 3 😄 He learnt it really quick, but when he then got a 50cc two stroke motocross at age 5 he was really scared of it.
Both the sound of the much more angry two stroke, and the "training wheels" effect got the better of him.
He then used a balance bike for some time and learnt to ride a bicycle, and then started testing the motocross! He's 6 and loves it!
"Now when we get back to the house, don't tell mom about this" 😂
Babies first track day was such a special bonding moment for them.
Babies are known for being tough, and have no trouble breathing against a lot of incoming air 😂. You dudes are amazing.
I’ve never had a great relationship with my father, but one thing we do have in common is loving motorbikes. This video hits the heartstrings as well as being beautifully produced and brilliantly witty! I have so much love for Zach and Ari and the whole Revzilla content department!
Holy cow! What took so long!!! Now I'm a grandpa and I'm sure my daughters will let me take my grandkids for day rides! Can't wait!
20:46 You're going fast down the track, really holding on, doing great. Then you're passed by a SV 650 with a car seat on the back... 😂
And guys, get bikes with sidecars, that way you can take the whole family for a ride.
Much love from India, having been a long time fan of Revzilla wanted to share my experience of picking up and dropping my daughter to and from school , please note , i do own a car , two scooters and a motorcycle . I prefer my scooter over all forms of transport for ease of ease , width of road , lack of parking infrastructure and time to destination, it is not always so straightforward as it seems. Btw my daughter rides with a helmet and jacket. Any much thanks again for all the lovely innovative content. Keep it rolling. Ride safe.
I am guessing both the scooters are Activa😂😂
Awesome job as always! Taylor's cliff drop was bonkers!!!
My husband and I live for these episodes, thank you guys 🙌
Been watching these fools since "On Two Wheels". Those 2 kids are going to grow up best friends with some cool adventures thanks to their dads! Well done guys.
So stoked! Gonna watch this on company time 🎉🎉
But... it's saturday! Isn't it? You've made me doubt myself.
@@AshleyPomeroy don’t join the Coast Guard. They don’t like work life balance ;)
@@AshleyPomeroy pfft, as if that means anything.
Ahhh, like a true American carrying out the age old tradition of ripping off your employer/government. You're an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good work. And I'm not even kidding.
@@franklinwilkerson2061 haha appreciate you. When we get worked 80+ hours a week for not a lot of money, you do things like this haha
I'm a born optimist too, so lots of love to the lady in the paddock with her little arm-circling, protecty thing. I'm sure that's going to go dandy when you're high-siding doing 100km/h.
Awsome content as always!
My little girl turns 6 this year, but feels like we brought her home just yesterday. Ari and Zach…cherish every second of those moments you showed at the end.
Ride on 🤙
This is my favorite episode yet. Just love the shot of them sitting on the curb. And the googley-eyes?! Laughing out loud the whole time. Heartwarming shots at the end. Congrats on fatherhood to you three. (Those teddy bear cacti are no joke)
I'm never going to have kids, and I still watched this video because I love how entertaining Zach and Ari are with literally anything they write. Top notch video as always, even if I'm definitely not the target audience.
Oh my god! That intro had me in stitches. Fair play for putting that much effort into a sketch
Kudos to the production team: camera man/assistents, top tier quality as always!
My daughter is 2 and already thinks motorcycles are cool without really seeing me ride more than a couple times. I hope one day she'll be interested in riding with me or solo but... No rush 😊
Thank you guys for this, the ending had me tearing up with joy.
I lived 8 years in my wife's country (Philippines). Had the pleasure of riding my new born son home on the back of my motorcycle with Mama holding him. Also each day to preschool, kindergarten and elementary. Our motorcycles was our family car. My son and wife immigrated to the US when my son was 12 years old. My son never knew what if felt like to sit in a child seat. Thank you guys for the excellent content. Peace and love.
I love Zach and Ari. Their infectious enthusiasm mixed with batshit insane ideas is the best entertainment on CZcams.
Give them all the time and money, Revzilla!
I did something like this years ago when my car was in the shop and I need to go grocery shopping. I strapped my nieces old car seat to the sissy bar of my bike and then proceeded to park in one of the "parents with infants" parking spaces. The horrified looks of other shoppers when they saw the set up was priceless! Wish i had it on camera.
Had my son riding on the back since he was 5. All geared up on the CB500x. Just take extra care and don't be afraid to tell them to hang on once in a while. Has to be fun after all.
I started with the boy last fall at 6. Full gear, a top box back rest and a cardo on his helmet for his stories and off we go. We can do about 50 minutes before we stop for a break and try to stay off the motorway. He loves it and well, so do I. Best art of my day is taking him to school and picking him up.
From a Father that’s raised 5 kids, I’m now 56 years old, and I’m here to tell you that I’m 3 weeks he’s going to graduate high school.
When going through it, it seemed like work at times, but having already gone through empty nest syndrome, I WANT THEM BACK! ❤
Only on RevZilla! LOL!!!!
It only get better as the vid goes along.
My wife is hitting me already say "No Way In Hell!"
Jesus watching Taylor ripping around on that off-road "track" was amazing to behold.
One of my very earliest memories was sitting between my dad and the tank of his Kawasaki G3SS and going back and forth to Grandpa's house through fields and dirt roads. I was probably 2 or 3 years old. I'm not sure how we got away with it, even back then, but it's definitely a special memory. This video reminded me of those days, silly as it is
Having my first born getting ready to move out while having 2 more little guys at home I totally get this .enjoy every minute with your boys .it goes fast
The ending of you two with your kids was so beautiful, congratulations y'all!
Thank you Zack and Ari, (and the production team) for always producing spectacular, wholesome and heartfelt content. You guys go above and beyond, and your videos are genuinely special. Thanks!
My friends dad used to pick him up from junior school on his Hayabusa when he was 5/6, he would sit in front of him and hug the tank, I seem to remember him popping some small wheelies too.
As crazy as it seems, we got something like that in east germany when I was young.
The contraption was comprised of a small metal bow mounted to the handlebars and a pair of small footrests underneath the tank.
So the child basically sits on the tank (there was self made padding) and wrote this way.
I did it many times with my gramps and saw these contraptions on mopeds even to this day.
Was at AMP for my first track day and heard you guys filming the 21:00 recap while I was loading my bike. We talked for a little, the whole crew was so cool but seeing those baby seats out there on the track is something I'll never forget haha
I grew up on my dad's lap on a 10 speed bicycle until I could ride my own. My dad wasn't into motorcycles but I swear that's why I'm into them.
Back in 1977 Dad took me to run errands on his motorcycle.... I was 3 years old and sat on the gas tank in front of him for 100 miles and laughing the whole time🤣 ! According to Dad he got tired of riding before I did! I still remember parts of that ride to this day! We had matching tee shirts😊 awesome time
I dont remember how old I was when I first got to ride around on the back of my dad's Harley, but my kid was 5 when i first started taking him places on my bikes. Once he had his helmet he started out in front of me on my dual sport, a year later he rides on the back seat of my old bmw. Its been great for both of us. He has his own little dirtbike now (he's 7) and loves it. The only real downer is when some busy body comes up and tells you "Thats so dangerous, I cant believe blah blah blah".
Love it as always guys! A great touch with the real photos and videos from home as well so overwhelmingly wholesome.
Why are those little fake babies so damn cute?!? 👶😄
They really really are! Precious little doll babies :)
As a father of a 5 year old and a 2 year old daughters I can say that they do grow up very fast. This episode had me in stitches all the way through and I would love to see more videos like this. Congratulations on you becoming fathers and cherish every moment you can with them.❤
Love the fact you 2 are having such fun with this episode! I have raised all of my kids to ride, and looking forward to the grandkids learning as well! Thank you for this episode!
This was a great episode! Production quality is outstanding!Congrats to you new fathers, take Zack’s advice “go slow” as time passes too quickly. As a 57 year old father of two children now in their 30’s the ending made me tear up, I can remember like it was yesterday what you are both now experiencing. Spend as much time as possible with them!❤
Thank you so much for just making us smile in those times!
I absolutely loved this CTXP episode! Great great work guys!
I used to lay on my dad’s motorcycle tank and hold on to the triple tree when we took the k100 to town. 😂. I wore an oversized helmet for safety.
One of my first memories was riding with my father on his vespa at the age of 5. Eventually his bikes would become bigger and I was always riding with him. When I turn 14 he asked me what would I like as a birthday present. I asked him to teach me how to ride... I am 53 years old and i am still riding all year round! I Love my dad for being so immature to introduce me to the most addictive drug in the world ❤.
That shot of y'all sitting at the track with the setting sun was gorgeous!
There needs to be more CTXP in the world!
Thanks guys! I needed a good warm hearted laugh after a rough week.
Babies off a cliff, the spike through the head, the wheelies on the way home from the hospital...Had me laughing so hard. Always the best. What a great video.
I don't think I stopped smiling the whole video. ❤
Those two kids were born with a best friend and riding buddy for life upgrade package. So cool! Congratulations to the new dads!
I had a 1977 KZ650 (great bike) with a Vetter Windjammer fairing. I used to take my 3 yo nephew on it all the time, fairly long rides. He would sit up on the tank, behind the Windjammer, gripping the mirrors. He loved it!
Also, sometimes my sister would ride too, behind me, with her infant daughter snuggled between us, in a fabric carrier. (Don’t know what those things are called). So, we had four aboard! Sometimes got some strange looks from other motorists but seemed perfectly safe to us! This was in SW Oregon and sometimes San Jose, California.
Still have the bike, but in pieces … gonna rebuild it someday. But now I’ve ‘moved up’ in the world … ride a KLR 650! No passengers though - my sweet wife won’t ride with me.
My daughter has ridden on my grom, 701 and in the basket on my trail 125. She has a fox mx helmet and her own kawasaki elektrode now. Riding with your kid is the best.
I started riding with my baby corgi when she was 7 weeks old. She started in a haversack inside my jacket then graduated to a homemade tank bag with windshield. My little corgi fit perfectly on the long tank of my cb550 café racer, she loved riding around town and on road trips.
I was two years old when my uncle took me on my first motorcycle ride. I burned my ankle on the muffler. I’m glad that Ari and Zack are both fathers now.
Goofy and wholesome. I hope y'all never end this series!!!
Such a fun video and honestly the last chapter with you guys was very heartwarming. Great message as well.
This is perfect because my sister is having a boy here soon and i just bought a new speed 400
Congratulations to you three and your growing families! And on another entertaining and informative video. I know this is not the last of your efforts to bring the little ones into the fold.
I bought mine because of that unbeatable warranty!
Congrats fellas. Great episode. I think your conclusion is probable pretty sensible. Keep up the great content. The days are long but the years are short.
Zack & Ari saving me from a bad day. Love u guys❤
Kudos guys. A bit of a head scratcher video at the very start but became hysterically funny in the moto and, such a beautiful warm and fuzzy ending
with your kids. 💕
Congrats on becoming Dads and, thanks for being such entertaining ambassadors for the 2 wheeled sport we all love so much. 😉✨
Excellent! Well done - with tongue firmly in cheek. Really enjoy your motorcycle content.
Ari's "child" freakin roman saluting during the track day 🤣 it's not that kind of rally little bud
😂😂😂
That intro was freaking golden.
So much fun guys thanks so much for sharing this. Awesome episode.
The baby fist pump on the track day was perfection!
congrats to you both for the esteemed and wonderful opportunity to be fathers.
As a dad, especially with a boy toddler, I found this video to be a love letter to the new dads out there who can't wait to share their passion for bikes with their kids. It was an absolutely hilarious video but the deeper message of being a dad really hits home. Top notch and even had my wife laughing and rolling her eyes!
This has been done for real by Givi. It’s the Givi adjustable CHILD S650 seat and it’s sold in Europe.
You can strap it down using the rear pegs and they sit on the pillion seat. You can buy them in Germany and a few other places.
Givi S650 and this video has renewed my interest in trying to import one to the US
@@johncaswell2648 I plan on trying to buy one next time I am in Europe and bring it home with me.
Honestly, you two guys are the best.
My father used to take me to day care on his motorcycle when I was only a couple years old. I still have memories of riding with him on the street and on trails long before I started school.
