Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Reminds me of that Ford commercial where the teenager girl complains about the car not working, can’t go over 65, text doesn’t work, and a few other things. Great commercial! The look on the dads face is priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 My parents gave me an old 1970's Chevy that liked to stall and die at intersections. I think they were trying to get rid of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 PDD, get your kid some driving lessons through a professional driver training school even if they have Driver’s Education in school. It will help with your insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots (not steel toe) and a leather jacket with elbow, shoulder and back armor. These things really help when asphalt and concrete try to eat you. I was wearing this jacket brand when I went down. https://www.cyclegear.com/gear/street-steel-outlander-jacket It’s heavy leather with good elbow and shoulder armor. Replace the foam back plate with a good CE rated armor plate. Of course you probably know all this. By the way, my bell is going on the bike this weekend. Thank you so much.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Five years from now, you'll still worry. My 'Baby" is now 42, and is a good driver with 23 years driving experience. We still worry when he goes out: Not for what he may do, (He doesn't even drink!) but what some dough head will do to him.

Finagler 6853 Life Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 The best driving school I found, for my oldest son, was to put him in a 4 cylinder race car (Bandit, Hornet, etc) on a short track. He learned evasive, defensive driving in a hurry. He also learned how to fix them at the same time. One bad habit he picked up was following too close. He drives on the road like he used to on the track. I tell him to back off when he drives. You will spend some quality time with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 We just went through Kaya getting hers not long ago. Then she bought her own truck! Got mad when I wrote a check to cover the taxes. It gets better I'm told. Just not quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
