    Bluetooth Helmet and jacket

    Helmet came in







    Purchased this jacket should be in by the 17th


    As for the riding I am getting really good, doing the 8 with no problem. I should do really well in the motorcycle safety course which is coming up next week. Hitting 70MPH with no problem and getting used to the winds. At the light I get the jump on cars really quick as I can get to 40, 50 MPH within 2-3 seconds.

    I really am enjoying this, best decision I've made.

    I just can't wait to ride it to work, but have to pass this test first. But seriously loving it, rode my granddaughter and my daughter on it and that was a little scary.

    It's not that hard. If you can do it with your car, you can do it with a motorcycle. I agree with mtpockets.

    I think the bike is harder because one brake is on the handle bars, the ither one by your feet. Then the clutch is on the handle bars and the gears is by your feet, way too much confusion for me.

    It’s easy. Seriously, I have taught lots of folks to ride a motorcycle. The shifting part you would have down in no time.

    I was riding motorcycles at about age 5. When I got into my first manual car (11, maybe 12 years old on the farm), I took off like I'd been doing it all my life.

    It is my only real testimonial to muscle memory. Clearly never happened in the weight room.

    I don't think I have that much coordination, riding the scooter and staying focus is enough for me, doing all that changing of gears will be way to distracting for me I would probably kill myself.

    Both my son and daughter had motorcycles at 5 as well. They have full on race bikes ( motocross) for kids in that age group, and they shift gears while doing it.

    I hope you didn’t think I meant riding on the street. Shifting gears is shifting gears though.

    When I was a kid, there wasn’t a video camera in everyone’s hand.

    December 1970. I got my first "motorcycle" for Christmas, a month after my 8th birthday. No vid, so this will have to do.

    Nice. Love old school bikes. Of course, not old school then.

    My daughters actual first venture into off roading was her 4th Christmas. It was a used Yamaha 50cc three wheeler.

    She was afraid of it. I still have a scar on my shin from flipping it the first time I buzzed it up and down the alley. I was kneeling on it, and the grab bar took a spot of skin off that I didn’t think was possible.

    Good times.

    I hope you didn’t think I meant riding on the street. Shifting gears is shifting gears though.

    When I was a kid, there wasn’t a video camera in everyone’s hand.

    I am just busting your chops man, I guess things are different in NY, not many people by their kids motorcycles at age 5. Although my grandson does want me to buy him an electric scooter, he is 10 but his mom said no.

    I think 8 sounds more reasonable than 5, my granddaughters are 5 and when my grandson was 5 I can't imaging any of them riding a motorcycle of any kind. Awesome pic by the way.

    I know man. . Im actually not unhappy about limited electronic stuff as I grew up, as well as my kids. We never stopped riding, boating, talking, etc to check our phones. OTOH, we probably missed a lot of golden opportunities to look back and laugh at some stuff.

    Every now and again, we run across a disposable camera that we never had developed. We are always excited to see what pictures come back in the envelope.

    Oh the days of dropping off film to be developed.

    Yeah, that Yamaha 60cc was pretty advanced for its time since it was a minibike that looked just like the full size Yahama's of that era. It wasn't long after, though, that the YZ 80cc came out and eclipsed the performance of that bike.

    My folks held off on getting me a minibike for a couple of years after I started asking for one. I probably began bugging them for one at 6 or so, right after my dad got his first Yamaha (a 175 enduro). He won it in a raffle and that started our love of riding bikes as a family.

    My very first motorized vehicle was a 4 hp Minibike. From there it was on. My first foray into racing was on an Rm125. I had to stand on a milk crate to start it...my feet didn’t touch the ground on both sides. Was way too big. Went to an rm80. That was way better. I didn’t have that “I’m not scared of anything” gene, so I never did very well racing. Loved it, but I kind of sucked at it.

    As an adult, I tried racing a yz250. I was scared of that bike. Absolute beast. I did trail ride it, but all my friends had four wheelers, so that’s what I did.

    Man we have almost exactly the same story. My first bike was at 5 but it was a Trail 90 so did not have a clutch. My first motocross bike was at 6 when I got this (not my picture but same bike) brand new for Christmas:



    At 12 I upgraded to a 1987 YZ125 which like you I could not touch the ground on so I used our front porch steps to get on and off. At 16 I got a brand new CR125 and began racing motocross though only a few races before parents said 'screw this it's too expensive'.

    Began driving my Mom's 4 speed manual VW Rabbit at 12 and like you said, transitioning to a car was easy. Once you understand the clutch and finding the engagement point it's not hard to drive anything with a manual.

    I bought my first bike, a used ('70 I think) Suzuki TS-100, at 12 for $200. I had previously ridden cousin's minibikes and a friend's 100 cc bike. A couple of years later I purchased a used (well used) YZ-125.

    My parents built a new house when I was 13, and we were jumping off of a 5 foot pile of topsoil in the front yard. Somewhere I have a pick I need to try and dig up.

    When I was 15 I was riding on the back of a bike with a friend (we were working at an orchard traveling between locations) when he lost control and I was thrown off the back into a telephone pole. Dislocated my right elbow and broke both lower bones, haven't straitened it since.

    When I was 5, my bike had pedals and training wheels


    I did have a motorbike when I was 16 though.


    But still never fought in the Bronx

    I rode a motorcycle to school while I was in high school. I was the only one. Didn’t help with the girls, but I did give a lot of rides home. That was the extent of it though.

    It was cool, but no amount of motorcycle was going to help me.

    So many memories in this thread! If you go to a track you'll see the mini loop off to the side with 5 and 6 year olds on it, seeing them do hoops and dig into the turns is nothing short of amazing, pure naturals at it.

    Motorcyle shifting is so easy once you get the hang of it. It's sequential so you have to do them in order.
