I had my 3 wheelers out the other day and my son wanted to ride a big one other than his 70. I put him on the 86 200x that I had since I was a little kid myself. It was cool seeing him ride around the yard. Here's a short vid of him.

He's able to reach both brakes, pull in the clutch and push the kill switch. I also taught him the art of bailing if all else fails. He's definitely not ready to go banging down trails, he was just putting around the yard. He's got good throttle control to be able to control the 200x. The throttle is real touchy on it. He's also been riding since he was 3.

Nice! Looks like he is handling it OK and not going crazy.
My kid has been riding since he was 7 though he started on a Desert Cat 90 2-stroke quad. Glad I started him early. He is whipping around
on his Z400 like a pro now. I think he plans on stealing my 250R when it's finished.

This kid was born with biker in his blood. Hes gonna end up riding a big street bike when he gets older. What a natural. These kids today all they do is play on the internet. So good to see this !!

not everybody plays around on the internet im pretty young myself (18) and barley spend anytime on the internet even though i shoot the sh1t on it once and a while. In other regards to this video thats freaking awesome that he knows gearing and clutch and all that i would of never been able to do it because i had no one teach me how to ride my 200x. Tell him to keep it up and keep them old trikes around. CheersOriginally Posted by sweetip2000
