RTW + kid = possible?

Hi guys, Gionata here.

I'd like to ask you if you know about someone that have actually attended to RTW with family.

Wife + kid for example.

If you know anything about it, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

They sell a video in german motorbike shops where a dad rides with his sun through africa. Its very well made...the sun allways explains where they are and what they do from the view of a child. While riding he moastly sits on the tank. Unfortunatly i dont know the name of the DVD...

Years, and years ago I read this book about a Danish couple who took their children with them on an adventure (Denmark - Australia) on bikes. Two bikes, and 4 people worked out just perfect... a bit more work, but it worked.

Thumbs up Kids and Bikes

I met a German couple who owned a Moto Guzzi and had a homemade sidecar outfit. They were in India having got that far with their 7 year old son and were planning to go further.
They even let me and Becky borrow their son for a few day trips we did around Delhi, it helped us to blend in as no bike in India is complete without children on board.
I have vaguely heard of a couple with two kids on their bikes with them, but can't remember what nationality they were.

Good luck.
