    Well me & the lad did the final bit of tinkering this morning. Front & rear brakes adjusted, carb cleaned out & adjusted again so it ticks over nicely & starts first kick.

    Cheers jonny, it was never gonna be like brand new again but its clean, tidy & above all... safe! Its his first bike so its gonna get dropped & trashed but thats all part of the learning curve :smile:
    Once he has mastered the art of balance, control & riding safely over the fields/woods then i will drop the 50cc lump out & fit a 90cc or 125cc with a clutch for him.

    Cheers fellas!
    We went over the fields on it today, the lad did really well but needs to concentrate more & build his confidence. Had a few near misses but didnt drop it or crash so all is good. :upyeah:

    I'm an orphan, any chance of adopting me ( oh, I want a monkey bike so bad).

    These work spot-on. The lad looks like he has a natural skill. You must be a really proud great-grandfather! :smile:

    They say "the apple never falls far from the tree" mate :smile:
    He has taken to it very well, He is pretty skillful on his BMX so the monkey bike seemed a logical next step really.
    The video clip over the farmers field was the first time he has ridden it without me on the back helping him with the controls & talking him through everything.
    After the second video clip over the fields he got a bit over confident, started showing off & rode it straight into a thicket bush! Lol :biggrin: He lost control, panicked & pinned the throttle back! :biggrin:

    Cheeky fucker! There is 30 years between us so i guess, theoretically i am old enough to be his grandfather but great-grandfather???
    Having sad that i hope thats not the case as i have been making CSA payments to his mother for the past 10 years so she must owe me a fortune!
