Honor roll kid deserves gift

[AFMEDIC]

If he's 8, I'd look at a CRF70.

I'll be driving by your way the weekend of Nov 19-20 if you want me to join you while you look at one. It helps toi have someone experience to look at a used one, if you're going used.

Sounds good, if you have some extra time I'd appreciate it.

I'll PM you my Cell #

Wouldn't let me PM you...you've got mail

If you're an Air Force medic, that doesn't surprise me that you wear your gear based on what you've probably seen. When my brother was in the neuro ward at the AF hospital in TX, he was about the only one there that wasn't a trauma case from a sportbike accident.

So you're in Fayetteville? I'm up in Durham, but come through Fayetteville about once a week on business.

Question: What dirtbike are you going to buy for yourself?

I am a medic and I have no desire to get a skin graft so the gear is a must for me lol. As far as getting a bike for me...I don't think I will. I want the kid to have all the fun and I want to have fun watching. If I do get one it may be down the road a little, what am I thinking :coocoo: I have a '00 ZX-7R and a 04 ZX-10R so I really don't need anything else right now. I will likely want to enjoy riding trails and such too but right now I don't want any of the focus to be on me. I've commited to getting him squared away.

I've got 8 at the moment ... there is alway room for another good bike!

Trust me on this, get one for the memories, if for no other reason. Dirtbikes are a family affair. My grandson (almost 5) is getting an XR50 for Christmas.

I followed my 8YO around the property for 45 min today. His version of technical riding is maneuvering around a whole slew of obstacles like a wiffle ball bats, pumpkins, soccer and footballs, safety cones, picnic bench, horse pits (w/o stacks), trees, Mom's car, rocks, shed, trampoline. We had a blast. Then we cooled off and talked about the ride while passing the football. It sure beats sitting on the deck w/ a beer.

Suggestion - buy a ride bike and ride together
