Man thats a sweet bike. It's built just rite. That's what it is all about rite there. Being able to build something as a family and enjoy as a family. They will never forget that day. Screw the trophy. I remeber my first show that we put our bikes in for fun . It was a day I will never forget. Had the best time.

Thanks for the comments guys! I think he had a good time, it was a long day but it was really cool seeing him there with it. He had a water bottle and he would sit it next to the bike, when ever someone would stop to look at the bike, he would get up and go get a drink. They would ask him if it was his and the smile on his face would light up the place. He isnt riding it just yet, Im going to have him go through the safety course first here in a few months so he can get his cycle licence. We have a big show next month that were going all out on. Big display and everything. Then its time to ride the tires off of it.
Thanks again everyone!

Joker, first let me say, NICE SPORTY! You might want to post some details about the upcomming show. Some forum members might want to "get out a little" and come vote, I mean visit you. Peoples Choice is the only one that means much, most of the rest go to friends of the sponsers.

The show on sunday was a peoples choice show, the guy that took first in our class was the one putting on the show, the guy that took second had 5 bikes in the show. I guess we just didnt have enought friends there. I know there were alot of pictures taken of it and alot of questions. Its all good, I got a bad ass son and he's got a bad ass scoot.
Thanks guys
Joker

Not only shown him things, but passed on skills that will last a lifetime. Not to mention the memories. Money can't buy such things, they are priceless. Whenever I do something now, I remember the time and the man that taught me that skill, and in my mind I thank him. As much as my Dad and me don't get along, he taught me a lot. I thank him for that.
