Future Deals' Gapper/Hell Raiser........
Folks, this is my world right here. My 4yr. old son Blake. He is a nut!!!! A daredevil already, full of mischief, but all in all he's a great kid. He started life as a 5lb. 3oz. little baby, he is now between 75-80 lbs. of red blooded, all american boy. I am so proud of him, it has been a grand thing watching him grow and learn.
The only pain that lingers from my divorce is the fact that I have limited time with him. Eight days a month is not enough!!!!! But I take what I can get and I cherish my time with him.
He's my Lil' Roadie, and he loves motorcycles. I can't wait to get him a dirtbike. He already calls the PW50 at the local Yamaha dealership "His Bike".  I had planned on getting it for him this christmas, but I'm still not sure. Physically he can handle it, I've seen that firsthand at the Yam dealer. He can hold it up (no training wheels on it) and push it around while sitting on the seat. (and making cool motorcycle sounds at the same time) But he still has training wheels on his bicycle. Granted it's getting close to me taking them off because he keeps tearing the wheel braces off. Ridin' the thing like a wild ass indian. Anyways, I don't want to jump the gun with the dirtbike, but I also don't want to hold him back. He really loves that little bike. If you could only see the gleem in his eyes everytime he gets on that thing. Priceless I tell ya. 
I love this pic, look at him smile!!!!!
Note the watch, it's a Homer Simpson watch from Harry. You press a button and it says "MMMmmmmm BURGER".
Trying to look innocent, and somewhat pulling it off I guess. LOL!!!

An old saying goes like this:
"Grandkids are parent's revenge for what shit YOU pulled on them"....er sompin' like that.
If he's a hell raiser I'd imagine he got that from you, eh? Well, I'll bet your folks are just snickerin' at the thought of what crap he'll pull on you.
Go ahead, get him that bike... won't be long before he's takin' you on the outside.

Look at your child Rick, no doubt you're his Daddy!!. He's got your blood and mischievous smile. Does your son ride a bike or 4wheeler?
Is this a gratuitous child picture post?? hehe
Here's mine. He's already demanding a motorcycle...red like Daddy's he says.

That's a great picture Steve. You're boy looks like you for sure just as Blake looks like Rick. I imagine your boy loves that truck you have doesn't he? Do you take him "cruising" in it?

Cool Kids....
Great looking kid Steve!!! We're lucky eh?
Say you're gonna be making a small dirtbike purchase in the near future as well??? Kewl, and good luck.
You asked if my son had a bike or 4-wheeler. Well he has a 16" Mongoose freestyle bike, and has worn out two battery powered 4-wheelers. I have no doubt that he could handle one of the small gas powered 4-wheelers, but I honestly think he'd compile fewer injuries on a small dirtbike. It has been my experience that a friggin' ATV will mow your ass down in a crash, everytime I've wrecked one, even if I got thrown off the thing, it somehow seeked me out and landed on me.  Usually, not always, you get thrown off a dirtbike and it goes one way, you go another. I may be wrong about this in the grand scheme of things, just going from personal experiences.
Blake loves that little PW50, but any "little" dirtbike would have him on cloud 9. I looked at some other small bikes last year. I think they were called Pandas, and man they were identical to the old Z50s. Pretty cool, but they were a little more bulky looking than the yamaha. If I get the training wheels with the PW, he could roost away with no problems. I dunno, but I can't wait to see the little guy railin' around the back yard, just fuckin' up my purdy lawn.

My 5 year old nephew Max has a honda 50 with training wheels. My sister lives on 20 achers up north so my brother in law rented a Bobcat and cut an awesome "track" on his preoperty. When we were up there for vacation this summer I rode behind Max on this track and was amazed at how good he is. He is on the gas through the sand, railing through turns I mean I was flipping out seeing this little boy who prolly weighs 45lbs soaking wet riding the shit out of that bike. I got real close on the back of him going into one turn that had some pretty deep sand and he whacked the trottle on that little bike and I'll be damned if he didn't fucking roost the hell out of me. I had sand all over me. I was funny as hell and when I told him what happened he was beaming with pride. He sees me with my 12 and just thinks I am motorcycle God you know so he really really wants my approval on how he's doing. I of course tell him how awesome he is riding. It' s great. Look for Max Kisic in about 10 years on the national stage.

Classic.........
Man that's awesome Chris. You got a dose of "Act Right" from a 5yr. old on a Honda 50. Too funny......
So the little guy handles the 50 ok eh? Blake is physically able to handle one, this I'm sure of. He can man handle that PW50 like it's one of those Razor Scooters . I really want to remain patient, and not rush things, but he does want a bike. Hell, he will probably outgrow the 50 pretty damned fast, or blow it up doing burnouts in the garage. LOL!!!!!

Yeah, and be sure he doesn't know there's a stop in a carb!
Rick, I can't believe you are worried about him wheelieing the thing. Jeez. Like Father, like son.

I know.........
I know, I worry too much about him. I just want him to have fun, and not put him on anything "too hot" to start out on. I may give him one more year to grow and learn, before getting him his first bike. We'll just have to see........
It'll be quite some time before we can ride streetbikes together. But man on man.........it won't be too long before he and I are roosting in the dirt. I look forward to that. I love riding dirtbikes, they keep your riding skills sharp. Either that, or keep you banged up all the time. YIKES!!!!!!!!

You will do whats right by him, and in the end you all will get to spend good quality time together, gettin dirty...I remember when my dad and I would go out riding, and he would let me get close then roost me.....kept it up till I was about 15, then I would do it to him.....LMAO man that use to piss him off......LMFAO
