I told you guys a few weeks ago that my incredibly awesome wife told me I could get a dirtbike and busa.... Phase I was for me and my best friend to get our bikes so we could take our sons out riding on weekends.. I have been hunting for several weeks and I thought I had the answer.... Here is my rational for the bike I chose...... I explained this in great detail to my wife, she rolled her eyes and said "Please" just do what you want...

We initially looked at the Honda CRF230F and I sat on it and my fat butt squished the suspension.... I told my wife that for my safety I needed a bigger bike, hence the CRF250x... Then I showed her the headlight that I could use to safely get my son off the trails if we got caught late at night.. Then I showed her the tail light that would protect him from getting run over in the evening when I was behind him... The kickstand was to be able to quickly jump off the bike without throwing it on the ground or finding a tree.. This increased my response time in case something happenned and my son needed me..... She said whatever.... then I noticed that I could get the 450x for $700.00 more, twice the bike for a little more... Being financially responsible the 450x should retain the value and be easier to sale in case I needed to sell it.... So today I bought me a new Honda CRF450X and we head to the lake this weekend. There is a lake 30 miles from here with 36 miles of trails. I am told that you can ride all day and never see another rider.... My son is sooooooooooo excited..... Me to

? Hey motorhead can you help me?
 
Ya, dirt bikin with your kid is great. It gives you an excuse to ride more. My daughter has her first race of the season on Saturday and I'm really lookin forward to it.
 
My son is acting like he has a dentist appointment next week... He put his gear on and he won't come in because he says he has to practice so that I stomp him when we ride... .Just like a dental appointment you cant wait for the night before to start brushing.

Gratas on the new bikes! Those CRFs are twitchy on the throttle and have lots of pull. You should be happy.
