A day with the Trashes

**White trash** · 8th January 2006, 08:40

Spent yesterday with the kids, it really makes you appreciate life when you get to see them growing up and progressing. They spent the morning in the pool at MrMe's place whith his rug rats as we sunk a few Steinys and worked on the various bikes lying around the place.

MrMe's boy Tristan has just started getting the hang of his MiniMoto he got for Christmas and my girls have been too scared to ride the quad since Eden rolled it the first day she had it two years ago.

My "screamer" motor is finally run in so I chucked the race clutch in it, and leaned it off two sizes on the main jet.

So late in the afternoon it was time to head off to an undisclosed private race track for some much needed kiddie bike therapy.

Unload the two minis and the quad and fired them all up.

Tristan (only 6) is a demon on the minimoto now, a real natural with a hell of a race face. He's got to get past his sister on the quad at whatever cost, including highsiding with the rear locked up heading into the hairpin.

Cranked the "screamer" up for a shakedown run, only did a few laps before I realised it's just too bloody fast without gear on. The thing HAULS! Taught the girls a few stunts on the quad. Eden loves 2 up wheelies while Lily (3) prefers we ride 'round on two wheels rather than 4. Mr Me taught Tristan how to wheelie the mini in an unorthodox fashion and seeing a 6 year old at 12 on a minimoto is hilarious.

Couple of pics, I'll post more when they come to hand.

It must be fun for them having a daredevil dad.

I can't help but think your daughter should be wearing a helmet though - even just a bicycle helmet.

Yeah... I got taught how to wheelie at the age of 6 by Mr WT. Or mabey not.

One of my cousins seems to like those tiny gas-gas things (minimotos) and I can't wait to muck around with him on one of those things lol.
Good on ya.

Awesome Jimmy, I know exacty what you mean. I've got a 6yr old daughter from a previous relationship who doesn't live with me, but I have stay at least once a week. Watching her grow and develop gives you a new zest for life.
