Just an update the bday party was this weekend and we got his expression on video I had my Polaris cover over it and when he pulled it off his face was to die for.

Now for the first ride. not too bad actually, I hooked my tow rope up to the rear spring and kinda let him pull me around the yard until he got use to the throttle. About 2 hrs later I felt he was ok to go by himself. Mind you this does not have a throttle limiter on it. The first hour went good with no problems. Then....yeah he got a little over confident and cracked it open a little more around the corner and over it went. He went flying off and the quad rolled once and landed on its wheels. No tears, a little laughter from everyone. After we made sure he was ok we noticed the handlebars were bent and had a severe toe in on one wheel so we decided to stop for the day, and then the tears came flowing. Then more when he noticed he scratched his brand new helmet LOL.

All in all it was a good day, it honestly went 100 times better than I anticipated and I promised him I would have it fixed by this coming weekend. I work 12 hr days at work so it doesnt leave me much time to get much done during the week.

Any ideas on where I can get an aftermarket throttle limiter for it? Would like to pick one up asap as previously post, its just a good piece of mind. I'll try to get some pics up from last weekend, we got lots of good video though.
