1980 Something Suzuki JR50

This is the final version of my youngest first bike. Bought it for him when he was 2. Maybe a bit premature. We took it camping for a year+, he sat on it and made motorcycle noises and seemed pretty happy. At 3 or so he decided he needed to ride and would outlast everyone else from then on. Bought the bike for $200 and added training wheels, otherwise only only saw routine maintenance for years. Love unkillable machines. 

Somewhere in Ocotillo Wells. Training wheels in the sand were tough, but he never let up. 

On the gas at Hodge. Love the concentration.

This was a common problem. He'd dig holes and have to be rescued. 

This is early in the program (he only a little over 3). At his point we were just wrapping up potty training and he could ride or stay trained. He made us promise not to tell he had to wear diapers under his leathers. Sold the bike to another Dad that was putting his kid on wheels.
