[QUOTE="Pilot2Wheels, post: 941870, member: 27908"] Life is good. :) The weather has been great since Saturday, and we have put about 60 miles on the bikes. 60 doesn't seem like much, but it has all been in our neighborhood. :o It has been fun to watch him progress on handling the bike. I have a rule that he must stop behind the stop bar at each stop sign putting his left foot down, then slowly proceed until he can see both ways if the view is blocked. He must use his blinker, and once he clears the turn, if he forgets to turn it off within five seconds, he owes me a dollar. He can earn the dollar back with five good stops and blinker off within the five seconds. He isn't forgetting his blinker anymore. :D We took the truck up to the Ocala Naronal Forest Sunday to pre explore some of the roads, and gave us a big boost once we got there. He can't wait to ride them. Even my wife is excited about going. Very cool. Thanks again for all the responses to this topic, and some great advice. Again, Life is good. Wayne By the way, I bought another Scala G4 for his Shoei RF1100 helmet, and it was worth the investment. Being able to talk/coach him while riding is a great asset. Fun too. [/QUOTE]
