Try a LT50. And you get your money back when selling. (as long as you do not go riding it your self...)

Yes, the wind in the hair, the looks from the girls...lol. Nah, I have been on ours too. And they are made tough. But the recommendation is for 40Kg or less...

[FROSTY:Me]

Most likely. From my 4 boys he is the one who just HATES loosing. When playing games, when pushbiking, when swimming. So I can just not see him settling for 2'nd place.

[offrd]

Ha ha ha! Awesome!


Wont be long and i will be getting that from my two year old boy, He has to sit on my BMW every night when i get home from work as i put it away into the garage. Then its nie nies bike, bike sleep daddy as we lock the garage...
My two daughters are not quite as bad... I finally stopped them demanding a ride around the section with everyone onboard every night.... 4 up doing laps looks kind of funny tho!

[Conquiztador]

He got home from school and straight back on. Had obviously been telling school mates as he had a crowd watching. (Including a couple of small girls...) They were all impressed. But after 30 minutes of watching they left, and he just kept going. Round and round and...

After he stopped he went through all old videos and found an old one of some cross and speedway. He watched that and then asked: "Dad, can you build me a jump?"...

[MIXONE]

It's either in the blood or it aint and when it is it shows up early.

[Conquiztador]

I have some of those back wheel covers from my days as speedway rider. They are on my workshop walls as momentoes. A little like spiderwebs for my memories. At times when I am in the workshop and my eyes go to them I can loose 1/2 hour if I do not watch it.

Vinny did pull one of them down yesterday and proclaimed: "I NEED this one on my bike when I race". We had a discussion regarding who's it was and why he would not get it.

The discussion went a little like this:
Vinny: "I NEED this one"
Me: "Sorry no Vinny, i's mine!"
Vinny: "But you don't use it"
Me: "I's mine!"
Vinny: "I NEED this one when I race"
Me: "I'ts too big for your wheel"
Vinny: "You always say that you can fix anything"
Me: "I can"
Vinny: "So you can fit it to my bike as I NEED this one"
Me: "We'll see..."
Vinny: "Can you do it now?"
Me: "Earliest after I come back from Rock2Wellington"
Vinny: "Tomorrow?"
Me: "OK!!!"

I think that went really well and he understands that he just can't have everything his way!!!

So after confirming that tomorrow was today he happily went to school this morning. So we will cut the thingy and then fit it today...

Did I tell you guys that I love my boys??

[Blossom]

Dude that is awesome. And yeah its a bit obvious you love your boys...
We have 4 kids too and all 4 have the genes. sigh. But our lot are all roadbike crazy rather than motorcross. But it does warm the cockles of the soul to read of your little mans passion.
Our just turned 4 daughter is the most addicted and really tiny in size, she cant reach the pegs yet on dads rf900 so has to sit on his lap and it just looks so wrong as she looks like shes only 2yrs old. The neighbours think were mad but the kids are the most popular kids on the street and every saturday we have a veratable audience when we take the bikes out for their weekly wash and polish. (yeah ok so i polish mine pretty much after every ride but the husband doesnt know this as he gives me greive about being precious about my bike already. )
Awesome to read anyway.. keep up the updates yeah?

[MIXONE]

It won't be long and he'll be demanding the keys to your bike.Sorry to hisbike.

[Conquiztador]

Any factory bikes is OK. You can get more of them. But he will have to get his own customs...

The one in my profile (Princess) is in the garage. Needs some work. My oldest has been trying to get the OK to use her (after I have spent the time getting her back on the road...) Yeah right...

[deanohit]

I think that went really well and he understands that he just can't have everything his way!!!

Hahaha, I think you need a tui man, You sound like a push over!

[Conquiztador]

Hahaha, I think you need a tui man, You sound like a push over!

But really, do I need that wheel cover on the wall? There is another one there. If something would go wrong and I had never been able to ever fit that cover to his bike. Would I have regretted that I had not done it? (It is now on the bike and he is happy. And that makes me happier then looking at the thing on the wall...)

[Livvy]

That's awesome man. Gotta love stuff like that... I don't think you sound like a pushover though, your son just knows how to get what he wants! And besides, it made you happy so it's perfect for you both.

(I'm just still getting suspicious looks from my family after I said I'd be buying my nice a peewee 50)
