You can earn and save more money..but you cannot earn or save time.

On this note….

I bought an Ohvale GP2 mini bike for myself.

I am having so much fun on it i want my kids (age range 7,9,& 11) to give a try.

So I’ve been looking at the smaller GP0 110 automatic. They’re hard to come by used and you’ve got lots of parents with the same mindset trying to get their kids into it also.

I tried the dirt bike thing with them. But since I have zero dirt back ground it’s hard for me to teach them anything.

Cool topic! 😄

That's cool!  I only started him on bikes in June 2020 when he was 15. I started him out on a 2020 Honda CRF125FB Big Wheel but this year he's been riding my Yamaha TT-230 more than me.  We mostly go to our local motocross track but have tried some trails here and there.  He's not the most naturally talented rider, (ha!) but he's very coachable and a good learner.  I thought about getting a Kawasaki ZXR400 and using that for a track bike until he's ready and then it would be his first bike.  Or...going the other way, maybe a Yamaha TTR-250...that small street legal enduro.  I don't know.  The biggest battle will be convincing his Mom that he should ride on the street.

His brother (my stepson but really, my son) is 29 and I taught him to ride at the same time as my 16 yr old.  He and I were sharing the TT-230 but he's 6'3 and I'm 5'3" so...it didn't really fit him. He bought a CRF250 motocross bike and is starting to get familiar with that.

When Andy (16yr old) was riding it didn't really look like he was having fun. It looked like this was just another fun activity that he has among the many other he has (band, karate, guitar, video games, etc.).  So one day I asked him "Are you really having fun?"  He said "oh yeah!"  So then I asked him "Well...do you ever see yourself riding on the street?"  To which he answered "Yeah! that's what this is all about isn't it?"  hahahaha....good boy.

Cory was the same. He's a pretty laid back guy, very laconic in manner. So I asked him too "Are you really having fun?"  And much to my shock and surprise (and delight!) he said "Yeah, I can see doing this for the rest of my life."  hahahaha...good boy.

One of my biggest dreams is to go on a motorcycle road trip with my sons. I always wanted to do that with my Dad but we never got the chance.  If I could just go on one long trip with my sons...omg..I would be soooo happy.

Ah, but you can earn or save more time:

Stay fit, eat well, get good sleep, see a doctor when you need to, take
appropriate precautions when doing potentially dangerous things.

Or, maybe it's more like robbing  yourself of time when you don't do these
things.

Hey, Bill Wahl, when I visited you years ago, weren't you working ski
patrols? How old were you then? Are you still working the ski patrol, or at
least skiing? I was impressed.
