Posted April 30, 200618 yr Moderator Since I just landed a new job starting on my lad's birthday next Tuesday... Decided to celebrate him turning 9 a little early ..... He was stoked about getting a proper bike......just got to face a bit of a vertical learning curve in coming to grips with the Clutch I figure by my birthday in June, he'll be ready to head over to Central Oregon with me & tear up my brother's 10 acre spread. After scrambling to fix an oil leak (bad clutch cover gasket) only an hour before I gave it to him ......I had a go on it just up the street......& I gotta say......the little beast goes pretty well for an 80cc Thump! ......can really feel the effect of the shaved flywheel & aftermarket cam.......she Revs like a stroker!

April 30, 200618 yr He is a very lucky little lad and im sure he will get many hours of fun with it to. Nice one yamahead. Will you be my daddy too only i have seen a nice R1 in my local shop??
April 30, 200618 yr Author Moderator I don't know how many requests I've got to be someone else's Dad since I've posted this! What can I say?....I Love My Kid! .....especially since he's a bit of a survivor like me... He had a 2lb. Cancerous tumor wrapped around his kidney when he was only a year old. They went in & took the tumor & the kidney......& he's had a clean bill of health ever since. I'm afraid an R1 is just a bit outta my price range Sir Tom I've only got a hard-earned $500 into the little XR....which is still less than I had into my lad's former PW50 steed.
June 4, 200618 yr Author Moderator TBH Alex...has hasn't had alot of time on it as of late......with me being outta town all week long That should soon change though.......I've got him after me now, to go over to my bro's place so he can practice with that clutch a bit more & ride to places like this on my bro's property .....
