Title: New addition to the stable...
Post by: Jumptship on August 27, 2009, 09:24:23 AM
got this for the kids.  I got the riding gear with it so it will have to do until I can get some "manly" gear for the boy!

Looks good in the garage next to the Monster!

son is 4 and daughter is 6.  Wife was a little apprehensive at first til I showed her how the throttle limiter works and the training wheels.  Of course the smiles on the kids faces helped too!

I got an excellent deal on the bike.  I was kind of browsing ebay and had a coworker tell me about his neighbor selling this one.  It is a 2007 PW50 with about 10 hours of use and got it for about half of price new with the gear.

Kids machines ROCK!  My uncle picked up 2 90cc quads and a ??cc snowmobile for his kids (they are 6 and 8).  THey love them.  It's a real blast to watch the next generation get the spark for toys!!!

The mostest awesomest thing for a young kid....Get plenty of pictures now to pass out at the Indy GP when he is on the pole..

But--
Oh my do we know the PW's... you need a Yamahopper moped rear gear set ( that will gear her down  )... pull the oil injection hose and put a small ball bearing or did a BB work then pre mix....there was more but I forget now...

My kids ran with Bubba Stewart on a pw50, ahh oh Ricky Carmichael.  ( the older son on a 60 Kaw)..and others

Fun time for Dad..

I only hope they keep the fever and we can afford to support their habit and ours!

 [thumbsup] Very cool!

Rode something similar at the neighbor's house when I was a kid but I ran it into a rock wall! Opps!  ;D
It got fixed and so did I! Kids toys are so neat these days!
