Re: Passion for toys


Picture of # 2 son , started riding at 2 1/2 on a generic quad. Here he moved up to a TRX 90 at 3 1/3 years of age in the picture , now he is 6 and is hard to keep up to on my 450 TRX (not really ) but he is hell on wheels. He also rides a CRX 50 . I have 2 sons younger that also ride on there 90 TRX's . The only problem now is Garret thinks he can ride moms 250 anytime he wants.. Another year and I will have to invest in a couple more dirt bikes and a little bigger quad for him the others will just have to use the hand downs for a while , gets kinda spendy with 4 boys and they all want the toys... garrett even has a little ski-doo super bee WOO HOO , what next who knows ,

Right after this was taken we were pulled over in the ditch down the highway by the local conservation officer because his dirt bike wasn't legal as the story goes on he followed us home and garrett being garrett jumped on his quad and started doing ****ties on our road as the officer was writing out a citation ,,, had to bite my tongue and hold in the big smile as the officer said boys will be boys.....

Re: Passion for toys


I would miss it to , got to take the boys out last weekend for a 30 mile ride , only took maybe 1-1/2 hrs but for the little guys that was a hard ride , sure made them sleep good though so mom and dad had some quiet time which i don't seem much of , 4 boys ages 4,5,6,&7 three are adopted when they were only 6-8 weeks old . Keeps me young i just hit the big five-one.... but i grew up on dirt bikes and wanted to teach my kids the right way and safe way of riding toys whether sleds , quads dirt bikes or even go carts which we are putting together one now .... I will just have to work more for all the gas they burn up .... already have two talking monster trucks I think they will have to settle for a modified jeep
