It’s about 15 miles away. By the time we got there he didn’t want to stop. So we ended up stopping at three shacks and did around 65 miles by the time we got home. He can’t wait to go again. Was a nice little afternoon Nice. And at least you don't make them ride Cats. I bought my son his first at 6 years old, 250 Bravo. He was my best riding partner until he hit 18 and decided he'd rather play video games fulltime. He's 27 next month and I asked him yesterday to come riding later this week and I get a "No Thanks." Keep hoping some day he will come back before its too late. Good on you for getting them involved. Enjoy it while it last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it while it last. Mine is 19.5 and has yet to ride this year, not from lack of interest, but rather anxiety, he wants to do well. He is not too far from you flying around preparing for his PPL now then off to commercial and then what ever. There will always be a sled waiting. The cat isn't in the pic, it went down again this time a flip that bent the handlebar and took it out of commish. All that untamed power in every direction was too much for the rider. Pretty good riding weekend, loving the new Doo, but really a tuff choice between the Poo Indy 850 and the Doo XRS 900T. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably rather chase the muff around right now Edited February 18, 2020 by ACE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 My son is 18, soon to be 19, and he is itching to get out. With his schooling, working every weekend and the lack of snow in these parts this year, it simply hasn't worked out for him/us as he just doesn't have time anymore. I've been pondering selling the XLT but knowing how much he still loves riding and wants to ride, I know I would feel bad if I ever did, especially if he had the opportunity to ride sometime but had no sled. Like I've said numerous times, this boy came out of the womb going vroom vroom so I don't think this is something that will ever leave him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be something he will want to work on with his kids someday. They aren’t worth much and that bit of cash you’d put in your pocket will just disappear 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just getting to the point, with insurance, trail passes, upkeep, storage and other things, it makes no sense to keep it, but like I said above, it would kill me if he had no sled to ride and we had the time. I think next year I am going to hold off on getting permits until we have rideable trails around here and it looks like it might stay? That might help but I know Mother isn't to impressed with me spending a G note on those things and not being able to ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looks like you aren’t allowed to take kids riding here period until they’re 16 and have a licence which is very gay I’ve reached out to my MLA and snowman club members to see if we can implement something like Ontario and they actually seem quite interested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know with my son starting at such an early age, it would have bothered me to no end if he had to wait until he was 16 before trail riding with me.

Wait until they won’t listen to anyone before you give them any experience? Dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't cost you anything..... My kids were ripping this past weekend on the bravo's. Those things are hard on the fuel! lol Signed my son up for go kart racing at goodwood this summer too...
