So, timmy has been in love with motorcycles since he was about 1 1/2 years old. He received a TT-R 50 from Santa this year. Finally received the training wheels from the North Pole...... this was his first solo ride.... now he has been riding with me since 1.5 years and has great throttle control.... I was amazed at seeing him work all aspects of the bike from the front brake, back brake and throttle, no clutch as of yet. This bike is a 4 speed automatic... it's a 4 minute video.... enjoy :cheers

That's pretty cool! It kinda looks like he's channeling Steve McQueen in The
Great Escape - in between runs up and down the driveway, he just wants to go
off-road and jump that fence!

Thanks for posting the video Tim! The whole family watched it and loved it, you were funny too! Timmy rides kind of like me on my Yamaha dirtbike. He and I should ride together.

Very cool, my son started riding his kdx 50 at 4 1/2. Unfortunately, we may never be able to buy these little bikes new again. I'm sick over the new law that prohibits the sale of bike under 100cc because they contain lead. I just found out over the weekend when we went to buy a honda 50 for our youngest son.

From the vid:
"O.K., but you have to slow down in the turns, you're going too fast."

Tim, get used to saying that!:rofl

Timmy, that is the cutest video I've seen in a LONG time! I can't believe he's almost 3 already!! I'm guessing the next video we see will have you sprinting after him from behind while he's doing a wheelie at full speed, huge grin splitting his face. :lol Like father like son. :biggrin

Insight from the set. On CSINY right now, working nights. All the doubles are here and were telling our tricks to one another about how we are training our kids. Good stuff, I'll try posting some pics later...

Ya I know:wink, I was just referring to fact that he only wants to turn in the same direction over and over again.:biggrin

from what I hear your not slow at all,............... in order to be slow you have to be moving first, and the word around is that you never moved your car:biggrin JK EP:cheers

I hope you can forgive me but I couldnt help myself, now I have joined the ranks of others who have shamelessly picked on you for not driving your car, but look on the bright side it did take almost two years and nearly 1500 posts.:cheers
