Spoiling?

  • Am I spoiling my 14 year old getting him a 2008 CRF250R?

    Yes, he is not Paris Hilton.

    Just dropped it off at ESP to get it re-sprung for him plus a list of other crap: kickstand, scotts stabilizer, pro-billet end cap/sparky, hand guards(EE/Moose of course :lol: ), seat shaved down, tear-down and greased everywhere, etc...

    I'm glad I got a good deal on the bike :shock:

    Sounds like you...I mean he will have an awesome bike to play around on!
    We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?

    Unfortunately my plan is foiled as the bike will be to under sprung for my fat assz now.

    Buy it!
    Here's the deal with my son:
    -Get A's (B every now and then is OK)
    -Do all light maint, Load/unload truck. Wash truck
    -Take care of his gear (washing)
    -Work out on his own
    -House/yard chores.
    -Sportsmanship: Ride/Race clean.
    -Have some plans for life (college etc)
    -No brat crap: We have a bike, pick-up truck and a tent.
    All $$ goes strictly to track time.
    -No home schooling

    Benefits for Me:
    -I ALWAYS know where my son is (riding or wrenching)
    - He's gone from C to A student after starting MX
    -Life is short: He'll be gone in a few years: Enjoy and give him some memories.
    -Chicks dig MX guys!
    -MX is cheaper than what some of my fiends have spent on wayward children (rehab, lawyers, Jail, no job etc etc.)

    Kinda nice to see the results
    When I wke up after working nightshift: The truck is loaded, washed and waxed!!!!
    Also my son is the only kid doing homework between moto's (cuz he KNOWs the ramifications)

    Thanks:
    The nice thing about this sport, is that your are with your kids; not dropping them off (soccer whatever) and picking them up 3 hours later.

    Shaved the seat down as much as possible, reduced the springs front and back 5 points, added Scotts stabilizer-Kickstand-Sparky-HandGuards-RadGuards-Hourmeter-Greased all linkage and steering-F/S at 2.5 turns-...kid a 100lbs and 5'3" loves it
