a teaching bike

[STEPPENWOLF]

About four years ago my sis in law asked if she could take my bike to her special needs class at school and let them look at a real motorcycle(and has every year since),of course I said yes so I cleaned and waxed it,feeling a little proud.She made sure it was cold before they could get near it,(she rode it to school)she said it was a big hit,they loved it...haven't been asked to let her take it to school this year yet but I did learn one REALLY valuable lesson,it will come back with a thousand tiny finger prints all over it:-) Gotta love those kids..just felt like sharing.

cutaway bike

Speaking of a teaching bike perhaps we should have a cutaway bike on our site somewhat like they have on Nascar Race Day.....Xcept it be an XS11 of course

We got an Engine/Drivetrain, does that count?

One of the local middle schools has bikes in once a year and all of the kids that have accumulated enough good behavior points are allowed to come out and check them over. Lots of fun on both sides.

DPOTTER,
That is great that the "good' kids" come and look at the stuff but in my opinion they don't need the motivation to be good,the parents have instilled the ability to be good in the kids already.
It was always my hope that these type of programs would reach the inner city type of kids(where the parents,shud say
( parent) can't give and maybe,just maybe get one to get out of that life style and be a productive person. Who kowns maybe another Ponch and John...........whoops they rode Kaws...
