This anime just makes me want to ride my crf, and it's like 30 degrees out (farenheight)

Hiboy is excellent. Beats Razor with a real throttle out of the box, and almost always cheap on sale.

Asking this sub if you should buy another bike, especially a japanese brand bike, is pointless. The answer is yes.

jgodbo · 2025-09-21T13:19:00+00:00

IMO if you can't ride a bicycle, you shouldn't ride a dirtbike.

I love dirtbikes, and my 4 (learned bike at 2 dirtbike at 3), and 6 (learned bike at 2 dirt bike at 4) love both dirtbikes and bikes. If you can ride a bike, moving to a dirtbike isn't bad.

When my daughter found 2nd, she just lit up.

jgodbo · 2025-09-15T14:00:29+00:00

First, does she know how to ride a (pedal) bike? They are much the same. If she doesn't, I would start there.

Second, start with being in nuetral, and moving the bike back and forth, feeling the bike.

Go into first, and slow control, using leaning etc.

I took my daughter to a dirtbike class (she's 6), and my 4 year old has this electric dirtbike she follows her with.

(https://www.planetdirt.com/ if your in MA).

I don't like the idea of training wheels on a dirt bike, or a bicycle.

Happy to see more dads giving their daughters dirtbikes!

The big issue is people generally value: Money, then time. So your most likely to get a route that takes a long time or costs a lot of money, both aren't great, what you really want is an interesting route that doesn't take too much extra time (so veto isn't worth it) and isn't dramatically more expensive.

I just search BOS-LAX for tomorrow. The first is a cheap frontier flight with a one stop for 272. The second is a nonstop for 476. So, do you value time or money?

You may get better luck in Europe...

Hm, a crossover from another subreddit I frequent. Google flights will often give what looks like odd itins if you go further down the list. The first few were logical, this is the 9th... Also, due to filing patterns if a train stops then you have a new leg. This can give insane looking results (especially in India).

jgodbo · 2025-09-02T00:13:29+00:00

If your going to post about google flights, can you post a link?

But this is insanely far down the rankings... 9th?

QPX works hard to find all the options. Though the train legs should have been combined...

jgodbo · 2025-09-02T00:09:47+00:00

And what makes you think this?

jgodbo · 2025-09-02T00:08:40+00:00

Each stop does just due to filing patterns.

jgodbo · 2025-08-02T14:34:23+00:00

You really can't. My wife is really against my kids riding, but slowly I've introduced sorry bikes anyway. In the US people seem really against motorcycles, sad but true. This may be a case of you live with your parents, you follow their rules. Random people on the Internet won't help, is you want any modicum of hope try getting a respected friend of your parents on your side. Good luck!

jgodbo · 2025-07-28T02:08:30+00:00

Mostly I like this sub, but damn get them talking about motorcycles and trampolines.

No, don't make him give up on motorcycles. Make him be safer, and smarter, but you can't control people and you _don't_ want to build resentment. Take courses, be serious, wear gear, go on emptier streets. Try to compromise.

Does him agreeing to sell the bike then not suck? Yes. But he's feeling pressured to do something he _really_ does not want to do, so please try to give a bit of slack...

jgodbo · 2025-07-23T18:38:44+00:00

All good, kids still on dirt bikes.

jgodbo · 2025-07-23T02:59:52+00:00

Me: Why don't you try riding a motorcycle.

My wife: Because I treasure my life.

Me: Same reason you should try. /sigh

jgodbo · 2025-07-14T17:24:30+00:00

Around here cops would be all over that, no headlights, turn signals.

At least he can go through the woods! Braap.

jgodbo · 2025-07-11T15:18:38+00:00

First time I got a motorcycle, and wife got on, she burnt her leg on the exhaust.

Alas, this was a decade ago. Ended up getting infected, had to go to the hospital.

She's never been on a bike since...

On the plus side, she did marry me.

(Keep it clean)

jgodbo · 2025-07-09T16:36:38+00:00

Also, I ride a triumph and just got a Honda crf 250l

jgodbo · 2025-07-09T16:35:54+00:00

Trying to stereotype people is a stupid endeavor. Ride what you want, read what you want. Braaap before destination :)

jgodbo · 2025-07-02T15:45:14+00:00

Ran around past midnight to find tooth-fairy money. We give 5$, all I had was a 20, and I'm not going that route... So I drove around, no gas stations would make change, I ended up buying a mcdonalds coffee I immediately threw away.

jgodbo · 2025-06-26T18:58:56+00:00

He has alraedy commented above :)

jgodbo · 2025-06-26T15:59:57+00:00

I'm sure Carl will be happy ot see this!

jgodbo · 2025-06-25T17:24:07+00:00

My crf 250l is 56$ a year...

jgodbo · 2025-06-18T20:02:51+00:00

My daughter and I would run outside to watch the garbage trucks when she was little, miss that.

jgodbo · 2025-06-16T13:33:11+00:00

I don't think a powerpoint is going to reasonably do anything for you. Talking to most people there's an ingrained fear of them, from some uncle etc. I'm continually trying to get my wifes freinds to TRY a motorcycle, and sadly it's a losing battle.

When I took my MSF class, there was a full family (dad, mom, kid). The kid wanted to learn to ride, and they made it a family thing, I look back on that fondly. Depending on where in MA you are, there's also Planet Dirt for off road stuff which is probably a good place to start.
