When I came home from work the other day, both boys instantly wanted to climb onto the FJ.....................They have always shown a great interest in motorcycles.
I need to get my butt moving, and get them some proper riding gear!

Enjoy those boys....next week they will be in high school, and the following week, they will be off to college. It will happen that fast.

Do they have mini bikes? That's how I started....
1) Free Owners Manual download: https://tinyurl.com/fmsz7hk9
2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
4) Important items for the '84-87 FJ's:
Safety wire: https://tinyurl.com/99zp8ufh
Fuel line: https://tinyurl.com/bdff9bf3

Not yet, but I plan to get a couple smaller dirt bikes.
A guy I work with wants to sell me his XR70.
I may get a couple of them.

 Don't wait. Buy them dirt bikes post haste!. At 5 my son had a Z50 Honda, then a TRX 250 quad, followed by a TRX 420. Now at 19 I bought him a CRF 230, an air cooled Honda not available in the US. It will be the best way to prepare them for the future. If at 16 they want to get road bikes you will know they have the fundamentals. Clutch, brake throttle etc. Plus if you get them dirt bikes you will be obliged to ride with them. I bought a WR 250 F and ride weekends with my son still. Enjoy!!!!
