Yep, we got him some boots, gloves, helmet, etc.
The 80 is perfect for the 'not-so-little anymore' guy. And way faster than my MR50.
But I once watched him ride a bicycle into the back of a Silverado...
As it all unfolded in slow-mo, I thought, "No, no, he won't hit it.".
Guess what?
He rode his bicycle into the tail-end of a 1500 Silverado..
So it's a trade-off.
He's not a natural, like me (ha!), so the 80 is plenty good right now.
Probably actually, by todays standards, the bike is too small for him physically, but 80cc is his starting point, and I am good with that, cuz it rips, and 50mph is enough for him to get acquainted with speed that will get you hurt, killed, and hopefully get sick of soon enough.
