(BA BUSA @ Mar. 11 2007,18:48) Dallas doesn't want to ride
Yeah.. hind site is 20/20
He was all excited and we put on all the stickers on the bike in the front of the house..
Well I was excited to, so instead of waiting to take him out somewhere, I decided in the front yard to teach him how to use the throttle, how to use the break, the kill switch etc.
I had him ease the throttle on then roll it off a few times, he did good, then I had him put it in gear and did the same thing.
The first few times he did perfect, I was holding on to the back of the bike and then he just got excited and gave it to munch gas and the bike lunged.
Well if it had a clutch if probably would have died. since it DIDNT have a clutch like I told the guy I wanted, it took off, with me holding on to it.
110cc's and I am for the most part holding this thing back with on hand. he freaked however and jumped off the bike.
He has been freaked out ever since..
I made him go today and take his gear hoping he would see his brothers riding and get excited.
Today wasnt the best circumstances, my moms field was freshly tilled and evern the honda with the big wheels was sinking like 5 inches in the stuff.
The little bike was sinking up to its shocks.. Austin diddnt event want to ride in the soft stuff.
But this was Travis's first time and he went for it. and he had a good time. even fell once and he said the dirt was so soft felt like he fell on a pillow lol..
My friend who has 2 dirt bikes for his two boys, him and I are going to build a track at my moms house so we will have packed dirt, jumps, burms and stuff... I know once I get them out to a good track and Dallas goes a few times he will be fine.. I just should have waited until we got out to a good place before I tried to teach him the basic mechanics..
I did get him right back on afterward and try it again, and he was fine.. just going to take a little while..
