i actually sold the max already - it had a lot of good memories, but my dad wasnt a sentimental person and neither am i....he left it to me when he passed, it hadnt been ridden for a couple years because it had some problems...i got it fixed up, rode it for a little bit, and sold it to buy something a little sportier....but i ended up spending the money to pay off my bills and im saving for something a little nicer i cant wait for the day i have my own kid and am able to get them on the bike and give them the same excitement and joy that you guys are experiencing with your kids though....although, i dont want a kid for atleast 4-5 more years
