Well over the weekend my son Matthew became part of the Blu Cru. Sold his KTM on Friday afternoon. Picked up a new Yamaha on Saturday. Took him to ride it yesterday. The bike is strong. I even took some laps on it, and I thought the suspension felt great with my 190lbs on it. First 125 I've ridden in about 10 years. But after I quit bogging it, It felt great. I would probably burn through clutches on the thing.
I think he wanted to stay KTM, but had too many guys convince me to go Yamaha. So I hope we made the right decision there.
Got Matthew switched out of the 85 classes and into the schoolboy class for Daytona. That will be a HUGE learning curve for him. But he really looked great on the bike yesterday, and by the end of the day was riding it fine. He will have a lot faster guys around him, but will be fine. He looks like he fits the bike pretty well.
