This unlocks during the chapter ‘Preparation: Bonds’.
When you’ve found Leo’s family’s trailer and have spoken with Linda, Leo’s son will run into the trailer. Linda suggests that he go inside and talk to him. Now, this achievement will only unlock if you give Vincent enough time to help Linda fix the motorcycle, so after you enter the trailer, you can talk to Alex, but don’t follow him to the treehouse until this achievement unlocks.
Have Vincent speak to Linda and ask her if she needs any help. When she agrees, Vincent needs to retrieve a wrench from the tool shed and bring it back. Linda will then ask you to start the motorcycle. When the motorcycle starts, rev it up a little and the achievement will unlock.
