He's keeping it, its his first "big bike", previous bike was a 125 vespa scooter. He's actually down in NC taking the harly MSF basic course because he never had to shift a bike before, and he kept stalling it when he tried to move

Awesome to see the kids working but no need to be a dick about it.

For Christ's sake, buy the kid a set of T handles!

She wants to drive it, she gets to work on it.

Dick about it? See above... I do agree on the T-handles though.

Derf, it's good to see someone else working with their kids in the garage. It can sometimes be frustrating stopping and explaining things. And, not working at the pace you normally would. But, it's completely worth it in the end.

That's why my friends don't come over when I'm working on stuff. I'll take the time to stop and explain what I'm doing whether they want to hear it or not. LOL

I'm the complete opposite, I almost can't stop. Vic gets mad at me all the time cause we were supposed to do mods together and I'm like "what? You passed me tools." Lol

It's why I now don't work on bikes at the track. That garage is too large, and open to other humans walking through. Do you have any idea how often Bo or Evan have advised people to walk away from me.... and said person somehow tries to take tools away from me to "help"

The kids are great, they are curious and actually interested in working. Other people are just curious.
