fireman_343 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Well.. it was SO nice out today that I just had to take my son Justin for his 1st official ride/training session. I was thinking of taking him out to CRP, but didn't want to drive all the way down there, so I called up a friend with land and he said come on out! He was nice enough to help Justin and myself out, he set up some cones for him to ride around and had him practice his throttle and brakes on the bike. It was a good time. I had the throttle almost closed, but it was good enough for him and his 1st time, I'll open it up a bit next time since the bike needed a shove when going up hill. He had a blast and did really well for his 1st time. He looked so concentrated when I looked into his helmet.. so funny! Anyway, he had a blast and keeps saying that he went "FAST"! Here are a few pic's and videos!

fireman_343 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah.. that is the plan! Today was just getting use to using the throttle and learning to use the brakes. I hope to get him off the training wheels by spring/summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireman_343 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think I'll get the remote kill switch on ebay for $50 when he takes off the training wheels and I open the throttle all the way! The damn bike flys with my 167lb ass on it.. can't image what it would do with a 44lb kid on it! HAHA I don't think a rope will work.. he would end up drag'n my ass around the yard!

Here it is under the box.. before everyone showed up and put gifts in front of it... Very Cool! I got my daughter a Raptor 80 when she was 8. Just start them slow and they pick it up very quick. I had her screw and restrictor plate wide open in a few rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks everyone.. he woke up this moring wanting to ride.. so it looks like he will be on the bike a lot!! Too bad I have to work at the FD today, or I'd take him out again. I just can't wait to get the training wheels off, and open it up full throttle and see him on the 1/2 mile flat track!
