yep my son used to do the same when younger too Savannah. However, now an experienced track day racer, bike fully converted so not used on road at all! I dreaded it at first, he was a real adrendaline speed junkie but you know, he has now learned to respect the speed and has concentrated on and worked hard at this riding skills. I am proud to now travel to all the tracks he races on to see a very skilled, experienced and fast rider..............my son, the youngster who scared me witless, racing and having the time of his life............as safely and maturely as possible on a bike!!! hang in there and go with them, they do learn and mature in the end!
