Title: Son's new ride and some ride photos
Post by: 5dracing on March 25, 2007, 01:45:05 AM
Posted some pics of me and my son riding yesterday. He got a new to him bike that we picked up Tuesday. Could'nt pass up the deal. 05 honda 250F for $3g that only had 5-6 hours on it. I know the guy real well and the hours are true. I was worried it might be too much bike for him, but he took to it just fine. After an hour of puttin around with it he said let's hit the track. He proved I have nothing to worry about. He can handle it just about as good as he did his 85. He adjusted to the weight difference really quick and started jumping everything he did before and a few more. He said after riding that he wants to make the jumps bigger and a bit tougher.

I had to laugh to myself when we were riding because we switched bikes and he gave me a head start and passed me with my own bike. It was like passing the torch. I once was the fastest in the house.

Looks like he was handling that bigger bike just fine.

i know had he kid feels...except i have a kx520. ur son's alot braver than i am! It seems pretty impressive that he passed U in a 250f while ur on a 500 2 stroke...i think it's cool that a dad and son ride together. very truly i tell u, this will be a very good purchase. dont let him get hurt tho!

Yes I am. You always worry about the next step up to a bigger bike. He's 13 now and thinks he's unbreakable.

He's had some bd get offs over the years he's raced and I believe he understands the importance of proper gear and wearing it at all times. I hope he never forgets it. He tells me that I'll never stop riding because he won't let me.
