Dirt Bike
What could be more fun for a nine year old boy than your very own dirt bike? And he lives on two acres of grass and trees, so there's plenty of room to ride it off-road without getting into too much trouble. But first, it's necessary to learn the rules of the trails and how to handle the bike safely, so off he went to Honda Junior Red Riders dirt bike school for some training and hands on experience.
Safety gear is essential. The kids learn basic riding skills, acceleration, braking, balance, starting, stopping, some maintenance and some trouble shooting. He's hot and sweaty after a morning of instruction. And it looks like he had lots of fun.

I'd have loved a bike at that age.
ReplyDeleteThe experiences and training available to children today boggles the mind!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun experience and I'm sure a few of the boys will make a career out of racing later on. Warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like fun! My children are grown up now but I am sure they would love to have something like this when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteA young boys dream Shammi ☺
ReplyDeleteLearning safety first is always a good idea...:)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea. Though it makes me think (in grief and anger) of a shocking story over here where a child's parents insisted she got back on the bike after numerous falls. She died from her injuries. Parents jailed. Too little, too late.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he had an absolute blast.
ReplyDeleteWe need the same training for cyclists.
ReplyDeleteKids have much more option and chance for having fun nowadays but I’d have ambivalent feeling if my 4-year-old boy wants to ride a dirt bike when he gets a little older. It’s nice for kids to learn the whole about riding a bike in an organized way. My four-year-old boy enjoys simply pedaling a bicycle with support wheels and likes to play with radio-controlled off-road vehicle with his grandpa so far. Your grandson is so handsome.

The little dirt bikes are very fun, but the big, loud ones will anger the neighbors.
ReplyDeleteHi Shammickite - how lovely to see ... and to know that he's getting the basic ground rules of riding a bike, etc etc - the experience will always stand him in good stead - he looks a delight .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi Shammy, to answer your questions from my blog about the goats.....
ReplyDeleteOur local cities hire the herd to come in and "mow" down the fields and public land that could be a fire hazard. Since things are so dry in this region something has to be done.
Hillsides are too hard for a tractor but goats have no problem.
I took this photo at the local public use access area that has hiking trails and running paths. We have a lot of areas like this that are refuges for animals and Salmon.
there is always a shepherd and dog to protect and keep the goats safe and watered.
It's a lot cheaper than people doing it with a weed whacker, and keeps the animals fed too.
It's the best weed abatement around.
Hello,Shammic,
ReplyDeleteOh,he learns so many basic rules to ride safe.What a great idea and training!
He is a good young boy! Happy day to you and your family.
