1. I pay for 'em and keep them running...they clean 'em.
2. They are stacked in there like cord wood. It sucks.
3. I like my truck and my daughter already drives it. I'm not giving it up and I can't afford a new '15 set-up the way my '11 is currently. So I'm keeping it. I'll be buying a nice used 4x4 for her that's safe and sound on a budget. I'm not loaded like you guys
4. Honduh's are bullet proof...this topic has been discussed here often and I hope continues to be discussed.
5. Darren...if and when I part with the Honduh's, you will be the first to know.

That's how tight it is in the trailer before we go anywhere.

depends on your daughter. If she is responsible, then 9-10 if she can handle it. My youngest was riding his 250 in the mountains when he was 10, but everyone thought I was a terrible parent for letting him. Little did they know I didn't care what they thought and my kids KNEW how to ride safely and could probably out ride most of them. My daughter could prolly pull wheelies on my canned ham if I'd let her

The big thing is knowing how and understanding when to shift gears, body weight and why you do it, brake and turn. All basics but it's hard for kids to learn when to shift gears. These are all electronic shift models so it's pretty easy.

Thanks Andre.

So they have a clutch but you don't pull it when you shift?
Just to start out and when you stop?

Nope...no clutch. Auto transmission, but you manually have to select the gear. Just like manual mode in our trucks! There is a button to upshift and a button to downshift.

the trick is them to figure out hearing (feeling) the sweet spot in the power band. Those little 250's will hit 50 in 5th gear...but if you try and go 15 in 5th, the engines going to choke itself out Once they get it...they get it.

Gig and Savage. FTE Will hurt a pocket book. We see and tempted by to many things. I didnt really mean to rag on ya Savage on the wheeler. Ya got such a awsome stable already.

And I agree. I never regret all i invested in my son. He will be 28 next month.We certainly played hard and long. I only wish i didnt work as much as i did for several years. But now were closer than we ever were. You no they grow up so fast. leave the nest and pray we done all we could to form them into a good person. Im a proud Dad without a doubt.
