Hiya all.

I made a singlespeed-autoclutch trasher into a dirttool to learn my 8YO son safely how to ride mopeds.

Started with showing son there is no shame in riding slowly, its ok to highside or lowside as you please.

Nephews, friends and girlfriends of both son and daughter joined us, helping to conquer the dirt.

Had a few somers great fun untill the bike was utterly worn out.

Somewhere a Suzuki LT50 entered the stage, it was mega great fun untill the cylinder started puking pistons.

Made a goodlooking frankensteiner, Puch 2speed manual clutch 50cc engine in a DT50MX frame.

That lasted only 1 summer....

Next i bought myself a YZ125, refurbished it and had some great fun with it.

Bought son a brandnew chinese 90cc 4stroke 4gear manual clutch honda-ish thing.

Son still doesnt race (well exept that time we illegally rode the tarmac side by side).

Daddy still doesnt know &@^%$&* about dirtriding.

Now i resqued a XT550 from the trashcontainer.

Gearbox seems stuck, intermittent spark and zero compression.

hehehe maybe this new bike can rip through the dirt sometime.

Grtz, P1
