just got a '06 for my son today

hello,
proud / scared dad moment,
just trucked home with an '06 EX250 for my son.

I've ridden / raced ( dirt, baja style )since i was 8 ish.

my son hasn't really shown that much interest, but I found this bike and he seemed to really want it, so i pulled the trigger!

$800 seems like a pretty good deal, it's under 6k miles, tires / brakes / fork seals all seem good, but when I got it home and did an exteneded test ride the carbs leaked gas. not too big of a deal i'll order a rebuild kit tomorrow, this will be a good 1st lesson on how to take care of your new bike for him.

anyway, I found this forum and thought I'd sign up, always can use tips on ; well - everything !

thanks !

Welcome to the board, @dviskoe. It probably won't get much better... my daughter and I just got back from our 5th year together at the annual 2-stroke meet at Deals Gap, NC, and every time she rode without me I was a little nervous until she got back.

It's OK @Snake, I doubt if he'll notice you were late, since he posted only once, three months ago.
