        Preparing for XSSE - Billy Helping.



        Just a quick update.... Billy is helping with my preparations for XSSE.

        Honestly, He would prefer to put the 10mm wrench in his mouth....

          Nice ...............
          Billy is very intent.

          BTW: I'm thinking you might want to put your tool box out of reach. It looks to me like given five minutes and access to your tool box that Billy would have that bike stripped down to frame.

          He sure is growing up fast. Enjoy the time together.

            Smart kid- 10mm is the correct size to remove the clutch perch.

                  Wonderful!

                  Well, Kurt -

                  You're obviously having a tremendous influence on Billy ...

                  Nearly 8 mos. old and he's already wrenching!

                  Great pic!

                    Me & My Buddy Billy

                    XS Friends,
                    I know this is a kinda old thread but I wanted to share my fun with little Billy. Hard to believe Billy will be 1year old this week..... Nancy and I get to watch Billy a couple nights every week and we absolutely LOVE IT. Unfortunately, my other grandchildren live in Northern Kentucky so we're not as close with them as we are with Billy who lives just a handful of miles away.

                    THE WAR IS ON!
                    Well a FREINDLY war between me and the "Other" grand pop has begun! He sent Billy to my house the other day with a Steelers hat on! UGH! I'm an Eagles fan!

                    The "Other" Grand Dad is also an extremely avid motorcyclist owning approximately 50 bikes... Almost ALL DUCATTI! with a few Nortons a few Cagiva, and a couple Maicos tossed in the group. He doesn't own any Japanese bikes. So....

                    Billy will get his first YAMAHA next weekend at his birthday party!


                    I couldn't resist giving it a try while we watch him tonight!!!

                    I continue to scour the local Craigslist for a used YZinger.... I hope to find one in the next year or so....

                    Thought you'd all get a laugh out of the "Yamaha Bike"


                    Respectfully,

                      Some cute pics. there! A YZinger good option. Throttle can be set with factory throttle stop...........and they are bout as tough as they come! I just know from three nephews who tried unsuccessfully over a period of time(yrs.) to have one fail. That little shaft drive on them definitely reduces any maintenance!
