Default ride report 8-30-08

My 8 year old son and I did about 25 miles of the Lackawana trails today. Its an old railbed that has had the tracks ripped up. It is a lot of big railroad stones and lots of whoops. Some of the whoops are higher than the seat of my sons ttr90. Here's a couple pics, nothing too major.

Very nice, some guys want to run a railroad bed in my parts tomorrow, but I checked the weather and there is a chance of thundershowers...the ride is 115kms round trip and crosses two rivers (bridges modified for ski-doos), and is quite a nice ride w/o any mudholes or nasty stuff. If i go I will try ad take some pics.

ps...I love ur bike...hoping to get mine to look that sweet some day..lol

I really had wanted to get him a klx110. and was waiting for the dealer to get a green one in. While in the process of waiting I found the ttr for sale used. It was kind of a no brainer to get. It fit him better than the 110 and was only $600 on an 04'

Where the ttr really shines is its just like the klx and has a magic button for an e-start. The bike starts easily with the kick starter but the button comes in handy when there is a tip over, which can be quite often with the little ones(and some old ones,lol), wheres it seems to flood and is quite hard to start.

Overall, he will need a "tall" seat next year and maybe a few upgrades and then it will be off to a kx65 for the following year. Then Dad will have to get his game on because I really don't want to be smoked by a 10 year old on a 65.

Good story and pics. Father and son time, treasure it. I'd give anything to be able to afford to buy my boy a bike.
