Went down to watch a couple grandsons play football yesterday. The oldest
wanted to see if his feet reach the footpegs yet. That's been the criteria
for his first ride. Well, now they reach, so all he needs is some proper
clothing and he's good to go!

SAY WHAT!
Maybe some lessons on how to handle the bike would be nice.
JustWait has a training program going. Includes obscene gestures for anyone
under 10.

Who is the 80-year-old old fart on the front of that bike? If that is
herring, he surely has aged a lot - and badly - since I last saw him.

Thanks. It's a little old, an '89, but it'll still outperform any Harley I
know of, except maybe the Buell. I've not come up against one of those yet.

My grandkids all want me to take them for a ride, but first their feet have
to be able to rest on the passenger pegs. And toes only doesn't count!

I'm sure you know, but they make some nice jackets for street now.
Turtlebacks with spinal protection, kidney, elbow... And of course, as
you already know, buy a new fitted brain bucket, never used...

Good luck, and remember, you will be creating a monster;)

I told my kid if she brings me straight A's the first two years of High
School, she's gettin' a motard;)

Rowdy Mouse Racing, beware the pink flash!

Someone might want to wash and wax that rat bike. Maybe check the oil
and tire pressure too. Looks severly neglected.
