Kidding. We already have one full face helmet from the dirtbike and will snag another one like it.

No, I will keep those for when my smaller kids get older. The dirtbike, even though it breaks all of the time, is still a lot of fun. Most of the issues are from me replacing the batteries -- e.g. a wire I didn't solder well pops off, etc.

My dad rebuilt his motorcycle a few years ago and almost every day I see him out there with a voltage tester. I told him I would get him a new wiring harness for christmas, he just shakes his head and says he's got this one under control. Next day out comes the tester.

That sounds familiar.

Picked it up last night. This thing is super clean and barely used. I rode it around for a few seconds while putting it in a friends barn. I can't wait to drive it again. I'm trying to think of a way where I can get over there to ride it in the daylight without my kids knowing. It is also pretty big -- I am going to turn the throttle down a little so the kids don't get into trouble.
