[QUOTE="83MX80, post: 974637, member: 59254"] you dont want him hurt anymore right? so i'd sit him down and talk to him man to kid, and say "hey, either tone it down, or i'll take your bike away for a while." thats what i'd say. i have a friend thats 21-22 now he's got a disability, that he cant read and write that well. anyhoo he doesnt know the slow down. we had a big red 200 3 wheeler that he bought from us a while ago, and i swear within the month he was riding up Black Road (a long windy steep road) and he was riding with some friends, and i guess he was in 5th wide open coming into a switchback corners, and he went around the first corner fine and i guess he thought he was going too fast so he shifted down into 4th and didnt even turn the corner. and he went straight off the bank dropped down about 5 feet and was hitting trees on the way down. broke his shoulder and cracked his helmet. he bent the front forks in soooo much that the front rubber was hitting the exhaust and the tire wouldnt turn at all. i've ridden with him on this 3 wheeler. its nuts. i was behind him, cruising along and im watching him and there is a slight left hand corner, he again didnt turn went up the bank bounced on it a couple of times and he was back on the trail. i thought he was gone again. so please dont let your kid become the way my friend did. then he bought a can am 250 2 stroke. now his dad rides FAST but safely. his dad borrowed a can am 400 2 stroke for a while. and damn that thing was LOUD and fast but he rode responsiblely. he was fast on the straights but slowed down for the corners. personally if your kids riding is getting out of hand, like he wont slow down, then i'd threaten to take his bike away. cuz i know what it feels like to have keys taken away for a week and it sure told me.
