RE: Can you ride better than a 4 year old GIRL?
 

Its great to startem young! I got my first bike when I was 7. YZ80. My dads friend had it for his son but it needed a top end and carb rebuilt so my dad did it for him for free and the guys kid didn't want it anymore so my dad got it for $50. It was way too much power for me. But I grew into it and my dad bored it to a 154cc and I swear it did at least 75mph. But when my dad was test driving it, he stuck his foot out and it got stuck in a hole and completely broke his leg in half. We just sold it a couple years ago.

Hey guys - take a look at this shot real quick...

Notice the concentration and determination in the eyes... (again - of a 4 year old girl)...
And scope out the covering of the "clutch" lever... (on that bike it is the rear brake).
She is covering both in most of the pictures actually - including several I did not post.

She also went on a dirt track (pee wee of course) for the first time on Sunday, and did awesome. I will have pix later this week. I dunno why I am so giddy about her riding - it's not even my kid, but I just think it is the coolest thing since rear monoshocks... and the fact that she is doing it right and WELL is just a super bonus. :)

Hey Eric, you should look into a knock-off bike man. Especially for a child to learn on. They are cheap and I've ridden some strongly built ones. I know you are a decent mechanic so if something breaks it can be replaced by a japanese brand part.

It's time for me to get bikes for my oldest two. My 8 year old needs something bigger than the 49cc pocket-Ninja he had, and my 5 year old just learned how to ride a bicycle, so it's time for him to learn to ride a minbike.

thats awesome, but a shame she has to hide all that talent behind a pw:D

RE: Can you ride better than a 4 year old GIRL?
 

It's her first bike dude... give it til the end of the year - then maybe next her dad will get her a 3 speed 50 or an 80. Those last pix were her 3rd time EVER on a track, and her 5th time ever on that bike. :)
