As the title says, what’s about for my 13 year old lad? Has no interest in karting or motocross, although all the experience he’s had has been on an rm125 over the past 3 or 4 years. I keep seeing things on junior trackdays but now can’t find them to read up on them, anyone know anything about them? What age is required? Own bike or hired? Any help would be great,
Thanks

Have you thought about a Trials bike, much slower speed when you fall off smile

We have a Montesa 315R but he doesn’t entertain it.

Pitbike racing? I did that when I was 13/14 both off-road and supermoto, great fun

Yea that’s what I’ve been thinking of. A friend of mine does trackdays on his CBR1000RR and taking my lad to watch him has generated this interest. Any idea of places that do it?
Thanks

Look at the British mini bikes site, that might point you in the right direction.
