    Got my 15yo son the Wired predator. Did i make a mistake?

    I was massively into dirt bikes in my younger days. Full face helmet, pads, boots, proper gloves etc. All off road though. Always completely understood that your life was in your own hands. Always with friends with the same safety gear. No cars No traffic No pedestrians Not on MUPs No other...

    Nah, not "high horses". The OP specifically solicited feedback/opinions on whether the bike was a mistake or not. My opinion/feedback is that yes... it's a mistake. Not gonna apologize for answering the question honestly. :)

    This is ridiculous mate. NOBODY here is even remotely suggesting a motorbike would be a better choice. That's YOU. We are suggesting that a bike of this type is overkill (emphasis on kill). Personally I'd never let my 15 year old get one.

    And your son will not go into the settings and turn that off, am I right? Not tryin' to bust on you mate, but we all know what's going to happen. Everyone here wants your son to NOT win a Darwin award.

    Could have been me... I find it relatively easy to adjust, but not gonna lie if you brush against it or throw your helmet down roughly it will require re-adjustment. Has not peed me off yet, but nothing a drop of adhesive wouldn't cure. I find the size of the mirror, and the slimness of the...

    That's the one I use. Had it for a couple of years now and it works well for me. I use a zip tie to keep it fastened securely.

    I'd realized when I got home that I had neglected the obligatory bike shot/s. :D

    A cloudy day, and cooler than it should be at 17C. Rained a lot yesterday, and a bit this morning. Wanted to get out anyway, so off to the sports fields... Replacing the turf is in progress on a couple of the fields... Usually the kids are playing on a Sunday afternoon, but today the big...

    Quite the adventure indeed! Awesome scenery, and nicely done with the saw. What a bummer about the wheel though. Could have been a lot worse mate!
