[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 815868, member: 32023"] Darryl: First ... Welcome to the site :cool: Great first post. Tons of questions and information. I can sympathize with your comments about liking human power sports over motor powered sports at many levels. The unfortunate part is that the human powered sports you mentioned seem boring to kids for the most part. My personal favorite is canoeing at this point in my life. I used to climb and have backpacked since the mid-60's. All that is kinda a lead in to the point that dirtbikes are truly a family sport. Many of the folks here have children and dirtbikes are something that they can share with their kids. Dirtbikes can also teach responsibility as well, mainly because kids listen when you threaten to take them away because of grades or lack of motivation. Heck, you might have already know all this, but it bears repeating every now and again. Regarding the bike, the TTR is a good choice for a first bike. Yamaha motorcycles have a great reputation and produce a good product. I have a TTR 125L with a BBR 150 kit on it that my daughter rides. She is a bit older that your children as my grandson (soon to be 4) is getting a Yamaha PW50 for Christmas. We have some really fine members within a circle all around Connecticut. Check out the [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=75][u][b]Damn Yankee Dirt Riders[/b][/u][/url] forum for some opportunities to meet some of them. [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/member.php?u=19688][u][b]Papakeith[/b][/u][/url] (another Moderator on DRN) is just east of you in Rhode Island. Regarding the family sport issue, now Mom and Dad need to start thinking about bikes! Check out the [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=52][u][b]What Bike Do I Get... ?[/b][/u][/url] forum. Run a search in there and you will find all the info you need (maybe more). Tell your wife to peruse the [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=30][u][b]Women's Forum[/b][/u][/url] for great info about riding as well as tons of discussions about the trials and tribulations of being the parent of a child that rides. Those threads alone are worth the price of admission. It is a bit late to consider this year because of logistics, but check out the [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=134][u][b]DirtWeek 2004! (DW 2K4)[/b][/u][/url] forum for the largest family oriented bike gathering that I know of. It is held at Cooperland Raceway the first week of October each year and there are always a number of kids there right in the age bracket of your sons. Hope all of that helps. If not, give us a shout. ;) [/QUOTE]
