Title: 8 Year olds first ride with clutch
Post by: bens87braap on September 14, 2014, 10:38:25 PM
So on the weekend my boy Jordan and I went riding it was his first time with a bike with clutch,  We will work on gears next coz the thing wont rev any harder in first.  He did a awesome job crashed a few times but got straight back on

To cool man!! I got mine started a little later (10) but now 5yrs later on the track my fat ass can only keep up for about 5 laps. Now out on the trails its a different story he has no chance.  :mrgreen: enjoy it man cause before you know it the roost will be in your face, but then again that's what its all about.

What a great experience for both of you and a big step for any kid who wants to ride.

 I'm always looking forward to riding with my grown kids when they find (never enough) time  to come back home for a weekend.

 I start my grandkids on an old 1980 CR80 which makes them happy (and relieved) to move up to the KX125.

 The CR80's a slightly detuned and long retired race bike which teaches gear selection and throttle control all in a small package.

 Keep up the lessons. Many rewards to come.
