    Arrow All Parents

    How would you feel if your son/daughter went out and bought their second bike ( a year or so into riding) and it was a 600?! but they only had a restricted?

    If they were a confident, safe/cautioius rider that is and they had a 250 for a year?!

    I'd beat them to within an inch of their life in absoloute disgust and then give them keys to my GSX-R 1000.

    well be happy that it stayed with a 250 for that long, and if happy then get them to the kb track day to assit them, as a parent would feel like doing ,

    If I was the parents, I'd tell them to go wash my bike and go for a long nice ride on their new 600...

    [edit] - sorry didn't read the title of the thread..... I'm not a parent.
    I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

    Just remember not to get the one that spurts brown liquid! Keep reading and keep getting those k's under your tyres! When you get your ride back that is... 250 or 600

    btw ... what sort of 600?

    Hahahahah so true.

    Depends if he is right in saying he is a good rider etc. Big difference between a 17 or 18 year old saying or thinking hes a good rider and a 50 year that has been riding since he was 17 saying hes a good rider.

    Maybe set him up on a riding course...see if pros think hes as good as he thinks he is...

    Just curious - what about insurance issues? Theoretically you'd be riding "illegally" so if you had an accident that could be an issue. Other than that...I'm jealous!
    Me and my imaginary friend have been goin' round the bend for some time now....
