Jacobs new Bike :)

Just surprised my son Jacob with a used CRF 50 and off course he wanted to try it straight away.
It was a bit wet so I told him to take it easy, but I think he likes it.

Great ridin Jacob makes me wish I wish I still had my 89 CR250R but I sold it to get the move money to come up here to start my family so I think it was well worth it

I remember my first bike. Riding around on the fields by our house
My last MotoX bike i rode was the CRF250.
He looks like he's enjoying it

I have an old street 50cc Suzuki that has been in the barn untouched for over 4 years.
I went down with some gas and a pump for the tyres.
Put the gas in it, kicked it twice and it went, I couldn't believe it.
I thought I would at least have to clean out the carb.
Well Jacob and I have been roaring around the paddocks today and he looks like he was born on a bike.
I will attach a cam to my helmet tomorrow and you will see what I mean.
The sad thing for me is that his bike is heaps faster than my old Suzi so he just leaves me in his dust.
Once I teach him how to use the gearbox I stand even less of a chance at keeping up to him.
He just loves telling everyone about his bike and how he is much faster than his dad.

That's really cool, Stambo! I watched this video twice because I just thought it was cool to see Dad and son having a good time. Very very cool! I'm happy for you and I'm proud of him. That was awesome to watch!

This is only his 3rd day on it, I think I need to save for his future in motocross.

He didn't need the shortcut, he would have passed me as soon as I hit the hill.
Real old 50cc road bike with my weight versus a lot more modern 50cc dirt bike with him on it.

That was really good, guys! Well done! Very well done to Jacob and his bike. He seems to be doing quite well with it.

He is already asking me to make some jumps for him, he has seen Nitro Circus videos.
Should I be worried?

Noooooo, don't be worried, start small ramps... He's well protected with the gear you have on him. Hes a great little guy..
