Start him out right on a dirt bike. I don't know a single person who grew up on a dirt bike that can't hop on/in any motorized vehicle and go relatively fast right off the bat. I cannot say the same about some people I know who grew up riding a yard cart or utility ATV.



I am not saying I do not like carts, as I do. I built a 250cc shifter cart as a teen and later raced briggs powered carts, but mastering a dirt bike at a young age almost guarantees that you're kid will be able to do well in any motorsport he might choose later in life.
Tim, the wifey would be a hard sell for the motorcycle. She's cool with a kart. Path of least resistance......
