Cal I'm curious how old were your kids when they started riding? Mine is 14 and I'm debating if I should give him the green 550 I picked up a few weeks ago. Sorry for the hijack

I started learning to drive car when I was 14.  At 12 I was already on motorbikes out on the streets

As a first bike, no.   Get him a 250 to learn on (and wreck).

Sometimes, it's a small world.  Cal, by small town, I gather you are not in Richmond proper.  I have relatives in Great Falls, but I think that's a ways north of you.
