He loves it.
Nice, my daughter has one, they're lovely little bikes and you can modify the dear selector to make it a 2 speed, basically a lower first gear to give more acceleration but less speed, nice for learning on.
Also, you may need to get some 90 degree tyre valve adapters, as getting a pump to fit the tiny wheels and big hubs is a pain in the arse!!

Seriously mate, how irresponsible are you? The lads playing out in his school clothes. His mum is going to kill you if she finds out.




Nice bike by the way, top dadding that.

Mum took the pic.

He's gutted he can't ride it today as he's off to a mates party, so if I can check it & get it ready tomorrow am he'll be having his losing his biking cherry.

You better have it ready. If he's anything like mine you'll get no peace until it is.

Come on then Stu - What time did you both get out for? How'd he get on?

We've just got back - But he only rode for about 20 minutes:

Got out about 10.30 as his mum takes him to church.

He did great, probably 30 minutes all in. Got front in a rut & a tumble & another little one when he tried to stop & was leaning/off balance.

Vid & pics to follow. One happy boy, one proud Dad. My son is a Biker!

Brings back memories for me smile Bought the lad a pw50 at 5 years of age. Then bought him a ktm 50sx at 6, that thing scared the living daylights out of him at 1st and could even throw my fat ass up the garden in an angry frantic manner eek. From there on in was my dilemma , the only practice tracks for us are a 50 mile trip and its a full days event, Harry has just turned 12 and has been through a pw50/ grizzly 50/ ktm50 sx/ ktm 65 and now has a kx 85.

We go to Stalker MX - Gonerby Moor, its a great practice track and has a small oval for the young'uns .
Unfortunately over the years I have not had the time to invest in taking him as much as I should frown
