WOW!! No need to be hostile. I was being sincere. Sorry if it came across some other way.

 

Thanks jd, I appreciate your input

 

no biggie, the internet makes it hard to see that sometimes, lol. but in all honesty.....let the kid get the bike. i dont know either of you, but can almost guarentee hardcorp will keep an eye on him, as will you and make sure he's geared and being safe. plus asa parent, its another punishment tool, lol. he doesnt do whats asked of him, he cant go ride on his favoritestest (lol) thing in the world!!!!!

i know how much riding means to me, and i know how awesome of a feeling it would be to see my son (if i had one, keep in mind) scoooting around on a little pocket bike in the driveway.......knowing that i've started him early on something that he will hopefully be addicted to. im sure when HC thinks about him getting his boy that little bike......he see's yeeeeeeeeeeeeears down the road, son much older and him out there on rides w/ his son. get the boy the bike, lol

I'm considering it. Last year he Had no interest in the bike, but saw one a couple weeks ago and wanted to take it home. So, I'll prob give in

 

Go Away Dear..I can take care of myself[sm=violent053.gif]

 

Get the bike! If you have no place for him to ride where you live then you'll have to take it and him somewhere for him to rideit. Therefore meaning he'll get to enjoy it from time to time and you won't have to worry as much about him getting hurt everyday. He'll either ride it or he won't. My son got his first dirtbike at 5 yr old. It had training wheels too but he only rode it a few times and got scared of it. When I got my F3 he got to wanting to sit on it, then ride around the yard with me, then down the street, then around the block. Then I got him a used 50cc pocket bike when he was 8, stripped it down and completely restored it and now he rides that thing like there's nothing stopping him! it doesn't have training wheels & never did but he wasn't scared of it like the dirt bike. Different kids start at different ages, depending on the kid.

 

Behind every good man is a good woman...this is an asskicker, T! Poet, great to see you posting again!!! What about a quad to get him started? You should be able to get an off name or grey market for cheap (used even?). It would be an automatic (right?), and hewould be able toget used to moving forward and controlling the throttle while having something more stable than two wheels. I say quad FTMFW!!!

 

Hey ! Both you got to tolerate me one way or another so we better come to some compromise here just joking.. youall know I'm very patient and very damn persistent Will persistent

 

i was 4 when i got my first bike and it was a 50CC suzuki quad. by 13 i was riding my dads harley up and down the back country roads in the middle of nowhere
