Son took "Dad's" bike out for a spin, he claims its his now...

My son and some friends wanted to go riding at a friends farm. A friend of my son has only ridden quads, but it thinking about a bike. My son offered his ride, while he would ride mine. After an afternoon of cow patty busting, my son called me to let me know all is well, no one got hurt, nothing broke and the bikes ran well, but... my bike just became his. He said "I can do so much more on the 250 vs. my 125." It was pretty wet, and he felt the 250 was easier to handle in the mud as it gained traction much easier then the 125. (Could this have anything to do the lower gearing I installed... :-o) So he informed me, that the green beast is now his, and I need to get something else for me to ride.
Maybe this gives me an excuse to maybe shop for a 500... :wink: :wink:

If your looking for a good place to take a group of riders, a "semi" local place I like to get to at least 2-3 times per year is Crow Canyon. www.crowcanyonmx.com. They have a nice track, (the Laretta Lynn qualifier is held there), a mini track for the little ones, a bike shop is on site, and over 400 acres of trails. Its in Uhrichsville Ohio. From my door, its a 50 minute drive. We like to go there with a large group of riders (10-20 both quads and bikes) and spend the day. Its right off of route 250. The last time we were there we called Dominos and had lunch delivered... Other then that, I ride several local places, out near Route 27, in the Beech Bottom area , and behind Bruin Drive.
What's good on your side of the river.
KX666 I bought the YZ125 for my son whwn he was 14. He had just grown 6 inches and out grew the TTR. He is now 16, goes about 235lbs, lives in the weight room, thinks he can take the old man (he probably can, but I won't admit to it). I'll admit, the 125 is hard to handle in the tight woods. I'm going to try some gearing changes, but I think its a lost cause. Once you go bigger, anytime you ride a smaller bike, it feels like a toy...
