so there is a place to legally ride a dirt bike? Do you have to get any kind of license of anything for riding out there?
The electric bike I was talking about is a step down from the 60 cc racing bike kids ride. I told him I would not buy a racing bike!!

Get him a dirtbike. With nasty carbs and a rusty frame. Teaches a kid how to gap his own plugs and other manly (or womanly, no offense biker babes!) stuff!
No license required for off-highway use (like prarie city)

yes its a place to legally ride a dirt bike. they have many different tracks for skill levels and its the greatest place around for a child to learn how to ride - no license necessary for off road bikes.
here's the official website all about Prairie City OHV
http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1221
Here's the track info for kids
Kid’s Tracks
The Kid’s Track facility is limited to riders ages 14 years and younger. The facility is divided into two separate tracks. The 70cc Beginner Kid’s Track is for beginner-level children on motorcycles and ATVs 70cc and under. The 110cc Intermediate Kids’s Track is for intermediate-level riders on motorcycles and ATVs 110cc and under. Both areas are for young OHV enthusiasts to develop riding skills under the safety of direct adult supervision.
Practice Tracks
Just below the Staging Area is a MX Practice Track and ATV Practice Track on separated courses. The tracks consist of jumps and banked turns intended for intermediate to advanced level riders. Tracks are groomed and watered on a semi-regular basis and riders are advised to ride with caution.

My brother-in-law bought one of those for his 6 year old who is a pretty good little rider now - thats a perfect bike for beginners with the clutchless transmission

Excellent! Its a great way to commute and very economical. Plus its fun as all heck to ride. I'm going to ride up to Fairplay tomorrow and pickup some vino, its become a monthly ritual for me and a ton of fun to get away from the city and enjoy riding in the country among the vineyards for a few hours.

Rent a bike at Folsom Harley and ride out there too. Or hey I can pick up your wine but uh er can't promise they'll all make it back to your house safely, there could possibly be an evaporation problem in one of my saddle bags and you'll just get empty bottles

My friend who's coming up from San Luis Obispo to ride with me this weekend is doing exactly this. He has an 05 HD 1200 Sportster Custom at home, but for a variety of reasons he decided to rent a bike up here for our ride. He's going to be rolling a nice new Road King for the trip. Should be nice.

I currently ride a Harley, but the truth is that I like virtually all bikes. If it has two wheels, an engine and a twist throttle, I'm pretty sure I can have fun on it! That Thruxton you recently sold is really one of my dream bikes. Of course, there are a lot of bikes on that list.

That'll be a nice ride for him going from a sporty to a road king - he's gonna like that and bet he'll want one soon too.
