I got a Honda 80 three wheeler when I was about 7-8. Turn it over on my first ride and cried. I rode that thing until the breaks didn’t work and still rode it a couple more years after. He’ll have a great time! Good job dad!

Awesome gift right there. Get the camera ready for some really good “whiskey throttle” action and start building the ramp, because that’s next. Yeeeehaaaaaaa!

It’s absolutely my mid life crisis. Last dirt bike I had was a 125, 40 years ago. I want a badass, 2-stroke 250 more than anything.

Need some updates once the tyke wakes up and takes it for a spin

I ALWAYS wanted a dirt bike. My neighbor had one. I would scour the classifieds in the town paper looking at ones for sale. And my parents never got me one.

You’re doing the lords work.

Me and my buddies are in our mid fifties and still ride.
We have some younger guys starting to come with us.
It all starts with that first bike.

Got an XL 75 for xmas '78 I think and rode the hell out of it for a long time. We had a crew on the street with bikes and I guess I took all that for granted then.

I bet he's loving that. My dad bought me a Kawasaki KD 125 when I was a teenager for Christmas and I'll never forget that day.

Good for that young man

No kidding.

I gave my 11 year old son a spear for Xmas. He loves it. He’s also already cut his hand with it. It’s way sharper than I thought it’d be.

One of the cousins wrecked it that day and flew into a ditch. Was ok but I think dad regretted that purchase

went through this 3 years ago on the 50cc birthday

I gashed my leg open on the brake pedal of a 50cc my first time riding it. It ruined an entire summer living on a lake because I had to sit on the dock the entire time my family and cousins would be swimming. I was more nervous getting back on it than I was the first time, but even then I had a "frick it" attitude which turned into careers of working with live electricity and going into burning buildings.

I still show off the gnarly scar over 30 years later. Chicks dig scars.
