Yeah, gear... His mom is totally against the motorcycle thing. I wanted to get him a PW50 two years ago, but she said no. Since she moved to NY and I get him on summers and EVERY Christmas, I've been able to bend and break the old rules as I want. So, he tells his mom we bought him a dirtbike, she asked pedal like a BMX bike, and he said no way, a real motorcycle! I knew she was pissed, so I asked to talk to her. I had to break it down for her that under his coat he is wearing a chest protector etc, a helmet, etc... she sounded ok on the phone about, but never know...she's the kind that will get ahold of the video, and her lawyer and try some kind of child endangerment or something. Oh well. He's older than lots of other kids I know and he's wearing all his gear so let her try.
Only thing missing is the MX boots, but if you ever walked in them as an adult, you know why I didnt get them for him yet. No way he'd even try riding in those things. Hopefully after he gets a little more practice, and then summer rolls around he'll get the boots and be riding with the best of them, time will tell.
