I've found many answers on these boards over the last few weeks, so I figured it was time to register and share a little project I'm working on with my 7 year old daughter.
I'll eventually have a full build video on my YouTube channel, but being that will be a few months down the road, I've been sharing pics and words on facebook, so I'll get y'all up to speed on our build so far!
Kater and I started teardown of the Lil Indian mini bike!
She got the throttle and brake hardware removed from the handlebars and broke loose the front axle nut all by herself, and with some help from dad got the kickstand and foot pegs removed.
She learned the joy of rusty old bolts when we found the front axle had rusted to a spacer, preventing us from removing the front wheel, but dad’ll get the proper tool for the job (a BFH) and then we can move on to removing the fork and rear wheel.
She also bagged and tagged everything we removed (something dad never does, and ALWAYS regrets!)
My heart could not be more full with this project, huge shout out to Steve Atwell, Sr. for the bike and the inspiration!
