Why would you want kids riding Motorbikes?

[Simo63]

can't agree more!my son grew up  when i racing dirt track.we went through the pee wee 50 / rm 50 thing at a young age,but he never showed that much interest. we whent through the football/basket ball stage. In his younger teens he got a bit off the rails. My soloution buy him a Kx 100 ! I didn't have a bike at the time, but would take him out to menai every sunday morning. Didn't take to long before I was scanning the trading post lookin for a bike to ride. The rest is history we now trail ride every time he's back in town (he works in the mines and is motor cycle mechanic by trade ) we have ridden cape york together an do the odd bit of dirt track when we can. dirt bikes have given my son and I a great bond and many great memories

Great stuff Piney.  I hope he makes it to CD9 ... where Curley and I will convince him to take that lovely Maico of yours out for a thrashing 

Cheers

Great subject Chrisdespo !   

My father taught me the right way when I was just 5 on an almost new 1974 Honda MR50 Elsinore.

Fast forward almost 37 years from then, and here is a picture I took just today of my 7 year old having his very first solo run on a..... you guessed it..... 1974 Honda MR50 Elsinore !   

Proud dad moment for sure!

I was up at the black and gold on the weekend trail riding and Kluffy tells me theres still accomidastion left if( if anyone else is thnking of booking) I highly reccomend as Kluffy's a lovely bloke, rooms are awsome great resteraunt and best of all short stroll to the local. I beleive Simo's gonna bunk with us as well.

   so Curley was able to get me in .. awesome.  I'll try and catch up with him over the phone to discuss arrangements.

Is Simo bringing his Tash? ;

Will see if she's available for the weekend ... if not then it's 'tash free weekend which is fine as there won't be any interference with the bikes and benchracing
