Outdoor Motor Sports Ideas for Families

Author: Jay Brandley Author Ranking Blue | Posted: 02-06-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 37 | Rating:  (90) Article Popularity - Blue (?) Got a Question? Ask.

Having nothing in common with your children when it comes to the things we consider as fun activities is not too uncommon. However, if we as parents can make a good effort to try to compromise a little bit, perhaps you can have fun with your kids doing certain outdoor activities. In this case specifically, we will be talking about motor sports ideas for families.

If you live in a more rural or country area, your kids may long to do some outdoor activities. Many older kids in my area love motor sports.

Dirt Biking

Riding dirt bikes off road can be extremely fun. However, this activity can also be extremely dangerous if you try to do stunts or ride in dangerous areas. However, with the proper protective gear and the knowledge and skills to operate a dirt bike safely, dirt biking can be awesome for the whole family.

I have even seen some mothers get on dirt bikes and ride around the open fields joining their husbands and children. This may seem like such an unconventional activity for families to do, but it is not too uncommon out in the country.

Four Wheeling

Four-wheeled ATVs are also popular to ride. Whether you are in the mountains or at the beach, four-wheelers are a hit with the kids and it is much safer to ride around than dirt bikes. I have seen, although it is not entirely recommended, children as young as eight years old operating four-wheelers and toting around a few kids with them.

As long as no stunts or tricks are attempted with the children, four-wheelers are fairly safe with proper use and the right protective gear.

Pocket Bikes

Have you ever seen kids riding around those miniature-sized motor bikes all over the place? Well, pocket bikes have become popular among teenagers and younger adults in these past few years. Pocket bikes are made both for the road and for off-road also. It is a trip to watch and an even bigger trip to ride!

Well, these are some of the motor sports the kids are interested in these days. If you do not feel like you would want to do any of these, maybe you can plan a picnic day where you can supervise the riding of one of these vehicles. It is always a good idea to get involved with the activities your kids are doing instead of letting them go off on their own.

Please help... XR 100 keps stalling
By: My Bad | 29-07-2008
Help!!!  I have a 1990 XR 100 and every time I take it out it quits on me. After it warms up it runs ok for about 30 min, then it slowly looses power and then stalls ALOT. also it won't idle without dying. It runs better if I leave the choke on a little bit, but it still ends up dying after a while. I know it is getting too much gas (I need to replace or clean the spark plug after every ride) but it won't run at all if I adjust it to get less gas. My quick fix is to clean the plugs after every run but it keeps getting worse (of course). I don't really work on bikes so if someone could explain this in "beginner" terms that would be great!!! Oh, and any tips on regular maintenance on dirtbikes would be awesome! I don't mind doing the work I just have no idea what to do!!!
