Well, I thought your post was funny the way you wrote it. Sorry, I guess I have a sense of humor. I have grand kids too and could just picture the little guy doin just what you said, but you obviously don’t find that funny. I think that if I didn't view a lot of the things our grandkids do as funny, I might simply give them away.Originally Posted by hublake
I also thought that El Camexican's post was funny, and so did Afrothunderkat, but you apparently did not.
Most off road motorcycle riders I know have a sense of humor. This is supposed to be a FUN sport imo and the people involved are supposed to be FUN too imo. We're riding tricycles with engines. If that's not fun or at least funny for an adult to be doing, I guess I don't get it. I even think El Camexican is kinda FUN and FUNNY, at least once in a while.
For some reason, the following picture did not appear in my post. I thought it was funny, but since it didn't appear, I guess the comment above it wasn't. Oh well, sorry for trying to be entertaining while also offering some additional suggestions, one or two of which El Camexican agreed with, but I guess you think they are bad ones. At least I tried.
4. Put one of these on it and just pull him around the yard.
REV LIMITER – I would not put a rev limiter on it. Most rev limiters cause whatever vehicle they are on to buck back and forth once they are reached. Imo, this could be dangerous for someone that is not even strong enough to steer the bike.
I actually wrote it that way on purpose, however, if you are more concerned about ones grammar and spelling than the contents of their post, you are DEFINITELY in the wrong place imo.
If I remember correctly, this is NOT an English class, and if you want to eliminate everyone here that has bad grammar and/or spelling and/or disregard their posts because of it, the only one left would be young Slashfan.
Since you appear to be concerned about ones grammar, I believe there should be a comma after the word "post", and the word "brakes", in you sentence quoted above. I will have to check with Slash to confirm this however.
I guess you might consider this persons grammar to be better than mine, their post more helpful, and their language more appropriate on this purportedly “Family Friendly Site” since you have made no mention to the contrary.
I actually think this one is much funnier. I have never seen a hat for ones derriere, and if I were to be one for Kate Upton, I don't think I would mind, however, I wouldn't be big enough to cover, J Lo's or Kim Kardashian's, nor do I think I'd want to.
I would still do what I originally suggested as a minimum, which is gear it down, remove the shifter, and increase the free play in the throttle cable if possible. Since you are only at 1/8th throttle now, I’m not sure if you will benefit from the adjustable throttle. This is why I did not suggest it.
I also think some sort of tether or kill switch which another suggested, would might be helpful. If you attach one to him, I would use a short, straight, flexible wire, not the "stretchy" telephone chord type. The purpose is to have the engine stop BEFORE he falls all the way off. Some "stretchy" types can allow one to fall off far enough that the rear wheels can still run the driver over before it unplugs.
TIRE PRESSURE - I might also run the tires at a very low pressure. This is because it will provide a much smoother and therefore safer ride in his particular case. A rough ride can cause him to get jostled around which might lead to him loosing his grip in the bars. He might not go fast enough to get jostled that much now, however, if even if he doesn't, this info might help you in the near future...or maybe it won't.
NERF BARS - This is one of the biggest safety features one can install on an ATV. They substantially reduce the likely hood of the rider getting their foot under either of the rear wheels while the vehicle is moving, thereby, getting sucked off of the vehicle and possibly tearing their ACL to smitherines in the process. This info might help you NOW, or in the near future...or maybe it won't.
Universal mini ATV Nerf Bars.

Here's a simpler version one can make on their own.
My apologies in advance for any misspelt words.
