Actually the cheap ones are more difficult to fly, especially for beginners, as they lack all the fancy stability controls. Also, you need to be aware of the regulations involved in flying drones.

You have been talking to my sons! They are already planning for dirt bikes in a few years. He needs to learn to peddle and use the pottie consistently before motorcycles.

Kenny Roberts special! We rode one of those until we could not fix it, and then a friend got a 250 Elsinore. Can't believe we did not die on that one...

Mine had a bent back rim by the time it was sold, but it was fun. Only reason mom let me have it was because it was shaft driven instead of a chain drive.

I had a kart at 9 and it was a two seater. I used to make hard left turns and roll my friend out the side.
