Riley had asked his Daddy for a Honda Dirt Bike last year for his birthday. Daddy's response was that he had to wait until he ride his bicycle without training wheels. Well, Riley got his wish early. Andy's friend Matt was selling his son's Honda 50 so he could buy him a 4 wheeler. Andy ended up buying the bike from Matt and we couldn't exactly torment the poor boy by leaving it in the garage and not allowing him to ride it. (His bicycle is a little on the big and heavy side so it may be awhile until he can ride it solo.)
Andy's been taking him for rides on it and teaching him how to use the throttle and brakes. Yesterday the lesson was about the three different ways you can slow down. 1 - let off the throttle. 2 - use the back brake. 3 - use the front brake. We're going to end up getting him training wheels for it so he doesn't fall in the sand around here. His helmet should be here this week. We found a good sale on youth helmets online and Riley is excited because it's red and black like his bike, jersey, gloves and pants. Aunt Lori and Uncle Jason are planning on buying him some goggles and then he'll be all set!
