Boys will be Boys (or: Why does Mom want to choke me?)

I have a cell phone video of my (then 12yr old) riding my Busa around the church parking lot. The one in the picture above got to ride it around the block a few times a just before I left for Iraq.

That's also why the Busa got sold before I flew away.

Can you imagine if they had pulled some stupid stunt on "Gods Fly Swatter"?

Here are a few more pics

What is surprising is that this is my oldest. It is usually the second son, Jakob, that is getting banged up. He has broken his arms twice each, his left foot, and left collar bone. They get riding the dirt bikes and it becomes a furious race. They quickly out pace the brakes and suspension. Pretty soon one of them stuffs it into a berm and then off we go to the ER.
But you are right, I would much rather the bangs and bruises happen now than have them learn too late in a car.
