Hey guys, been gone for a few but I'm back  :thumb:

So I see the common comments on the riding gear and height of the bike, even though I let her ride that day, I do agree and now she has her set.
I came across a beat up Yamaha 250cc scooter and been having her ride that around a bit while I finish a few more things on the gs, lowering link and seat mods, I haven't let her back on the gs until I do the lowering of it and I've been so tied up at work  :technical: that its jus been a slow process grr

das my kind of ride! ++++

lmao, figured this would be ok to teach ppl on since it wouldn't hurt it anymore ( cosmetically ) if it flops over.
had my 13 yr old on it and I was impressed on her natural skills of leaning and to look ahead of the turn without me instructing her.
it made me really proud of her.
I jus came across a lil " Harley " mini bike and been letting my other 2 kids ride that and they have been having a blast

Actually the whole flat footing thing is more phychological than really practical ...
How many times has it been that you go down inspite of being able to flat foot ???

Oh well, there is a small number of times being strong and able to flat foot gets me out of dumping it ... For that 1% of times ... OK yea need to flat foot.

Cool.

I grew up on bikes that I needed to use my dads step side to kick over, if ever it bogged on me I had to find a rock to stand on lol. but I was a knuckle head, my pops rule was if you could start it you could ride it, so @ 13 I was riding his husky 425 I think it was.
I jus got this little 49cc Harley looking minibike for FREE and nothing wrong with it  O0 so been letting the kids put around on that

even if you get her something she can reach the ground, she can still fall... lol

here's my wife and her Rebel 250, I feel like I'm on a kiddie tricycle when I ride it... yet she's fine on it and we're both the same height.  :cookoo:

She dropped it while practicing for her M2 test and put a dent on the tank (graduated licensing in Ontario Canada, M1 for 30-60days, M2 after you pass the test, 1.5-5years depending when you pass the test, then full M license.) she was going very slow and attempted to turn on a very tight space. :(
