I started the thread about buying bikes fro my son and I. Well, my father in law went out yesterday and kicked down for a JR50, helmet, boots, and chest protector. Now I’m teaching my son (4 1/2) how to ride sans the training wheels (he rides his bicycle without them). His first ride wasn’t entirely successful as the bulk of all the gear and weight of the bike was a little overwhelming. He’s ridden a little Suzuki 50 quad several times and is getting comfortable on that. (My brother and his family are quad-ers)
He’ll get the hang of it I’m sure, but I feel like I’m embarking on uncharted ground here. Once he gets proficient enough to putt around on his own, I plan to buy a bike and learn to ride with him. I’ve ridden a few times in the past, but I am still essentially starting from scratch.
My jetskiing friends think I’m going to kill myself if I get a dirtbike. I’m inspired by the first “did I screw up” thread, as I look forward to riding with my son, even if it is just putting around for a while. Somebody tell me that my plan is a good one and I’m not out of my gourd (or tell me if I am).
