Haha thanks bro she is a cutie but kinda looks funny in that picture from the blur but def acre with your 2 reasons in time she will get it though she just turned one so around two or maybe three she will get it

Oh and about your kid having a pedal bike that's great man my bike was my everything for the longest time I loved going to a new park and the local riders would just stop and watch me not trying to brag because I helped a lot of kids to do stuff they didn't think they would ever do so bikes were a great starter for me then I got a dirt bike rode the he'll out of it got into a real bad accident with another rider took me about five years to get back on one didn't ever start racing again though but I stuck to my pedal bike the whole time I was off the motor bike and then out of the army it was time to get a new motorcycle picked one up for 300 bucks blew the top end sold it and then scored a sweet deal on lillian 1,180 total cost clean title and rode it home id say pretty good deal after some tlc she is still getting she will be like brand new

Hey thanx Crashking. And yeah that TLR was HOT! it was an amazing machine, so many memories on that bike.... I actually teared up a bit to see it go! But the trade was well worth it! Pretty much every single toy we have we go stupid cheap on craigy and just fixed it up. You can get anything you want, you just have to know how to turn a wrench! haha
We only have a few toys in the garage rite now as opposed to alot at a time. Here's a pic, sorry its jus a junky cell pic.

We also used to have a lil Yamaha TTR 90 that was another craigy deal. But we fixed it up and gave it to his Dad for a B-day/Xmas present. He loves the heck outta that thing! haha He used to ride when he was real young, but Life got aholda him and he had to get stern n grown up real fast. So we figured itd give him that childish joy that he missed out on.
And I agree with you that those little dirtbikes are perfect to start your kids out on real young. I plan on doing the same someday when i have some! haha Then they can grow up and race MotoGP with Rossi and buy me all the bikes and stuff i want with their $$$$$$$! ah hahahaha

Face value, perhaps. But you gotta consider the "time" factor. He got to ride all those different machines and still ended up $300. My first bike was an '81 CX500 Custom I paid $500 for. I sold it for $500 also. Financially I broke even so big woot, eh? But I rode that bee-yatch for 20K+ miles and had a blast. So I considered it one of the best bike deals I ever made
