Message: [QUOTE="yzguy15, post: 577314, member: 20368"] Let's see... I got a PW50, except I believe they were called YZinger's back in those days(it was an 83), when I turned 2. Didn't actually get to ride it till I was about 3 and a half. I rode that thing some, and out grew it. My next bike was a ragged out 84 KX 60. That was the hardest bike to ride ever, I'd recommend going with something that's at least younger than your kid for the first bikes (I was born in 85). After putting up the the clutch that wouldn't pull and in general the bike from hell, I basically quit. I got so frustrated with it all. My dad, by that point (I was probably 9) was burnt out with the sport too, so it didn't matter to him. Fast forward 4 years and I decidet that I want an 80 for my birthday. I got a CR 80 for my 13th bday, and rode it for about a year. I grew out of that thing in a little over a year, but we rode it a lot. Instead of doing the normal thing and moving to a 125, we decided I was big, and mature enough to handle a 250. Shortly after we got the 250 I decided I was ready to race, and here we are. Now, I'm sure you're probably wondering why I just gave you my riding history, and to tell you the truth..so am I! I guess the moral of the story is never to push your kids and if they really like it, they will come around eventually, and if they don't, it's no real loss. Just support them in what other activity they do like. BTW, now I'm 17 and, pending a new job, will be moving up to a 426/450 very soon. [/QUOTE]
