Now that is incredible , very impressed. Looked like on the second run if he wasnt drifting toward the center who knows how quick it could have been , he obviously and very wisely got out of the throttle ---

That’s incredible, not sure that myself (if i had kids) or any parents I know would let their kid do that…but he seemed pretty comfortable on the bike ---

Cool, but not his 2nd or 3rd pass ever on a bike. Unless he practiced a boatload on the street somewhere. You dont just jump on a 180rwhp busa and know how to launch, and have the discipline to keep your feet back while the bike pulls your eyes out. But very very impressive. ---

That’s fucking awesome. I was acting the same way a few weeks ago. We were up at pymatuning at a camp and my 6 year old hit the rev limiter in 3rd gear, standing up on his little xr50r in the grass which was a little bumpy. He went past me, the wife, and my wife’s parents at full speed. It was fucking awesome, I couldn’t imagine the feeling of seeing your 12 year old hitting 120mph in the 1/4 on a bike. I love it. ---

that was just plain nuts… kid has big balls, and the father has even bigger ones for letting a 12 year old do that… but mad props!
