I told him before he learns how to ride he has to learn how to fix it and maintain it. (So now I have to learn too)
Excellent! My dad was the same way but he was a business man, not a mechanic. Loved him to pieces but he didn't know which end of a screwdriver to hold.
He bought my brothers and I a 1966 blown-up Honda 90 (50.00 from our uncle), and a small tool box from Sears. He said, "You guys fix it, you can ride it." I was eight years old then. He honestly never thought we'd fix it.
Once I started saving my lawn mowing and weed pulling money (neighborhood business), I bought a half-beat Yamaha 125 Enduro from my neighbor kid. I was 14 then also.
