New to the forum so I thought would say hi :)

Hi! Looks like you got the whole family outfitted.

 

[n2spd]

I had two XR 50's for my boys but they only rode them for about 15 min in a years time so I sold them. Thanks for the reply

I found with one of my kids, getting a bike for him too early meant that he never had to "want" one. He was never really interested, which is a shame since he is the best rider in the family.

The rest of us that have spent hours dreaming of when we could finally get a bike seem to want to ride them much more.

I still couldn't wait with the youngest one, though. I told him he couldn't get one until he could ride his bicycle without training wheels. At 4 1/2 he rode the bicycle and the next week I had him on an XR50. He's still pretty interested (7, now) but not as rabid as the 20 year old who had to beg for a couple years.

Never look a gift Vampyr in the mouth, but...

...even if it's free, I don't think I want anything that came out of his pocket!

 

[Vampyrz]

Especially the pocket with the hole in it.

:yikes:

Makes sense to me. I rode other peoples bikes since kindergarden but never actually had one of my own untill the fifth grade. I have a seven year old boy, a eight year old boy, and a twelve year old girl. My daughter convinced me she wanted to race so I sold her XR70 and bought her a 2004 CR85R. I have had it since Januaury and it has about an hour and half on it. I really cant say much because I know I have less than six hours on mine. If anyone is from Oklahoma and wants to ride let me know. Everytime I try to take my family somebody has something they have to do. :(

Welcome to the site n2spd :cool:

Be sure and go to your User CP and update information relating to your location, type of riding, etc. After that grab a spot on the couch and tell us a bit about yourself. How long you have been riding, what kind of riding you prefer, where you are located, etc. We will do our best to hook you up with some fellow dirt bike enthusiasts.

What part of Oklahoma are you in? The center of the DRN universe is half way between OKC and DFW. We get together every year for DirtWeek in the fall and for the last three years it has been at Cooperland Raceway just west of Stillwater. We have folks scattered all over OK that are members. Check out the Heartland Spodes forum for opportunities to hook up with other members.

Again, welcome to the site, and shout if you have any questions!
