My son's 25 and had his first gas powered vehicle at 6 or 7(a go cart). He managed to rear end my neighbors ElCamino
Luckily unhurt.
Kids have no fear , nor do they anticipate what can happen before they do it.
That's why you have to be the parent. It's not always a nice job but somebodies gotta do it.
You can't protect them from everthing but lets not put a loaded gun in their hand either.
No offense , just my opinion

Just so you know Mr. and Mrs. d-hlaw, a popular safety item today for moto-x riders is a neck support like is worn by stock car racers. It is a collar that goes around the neck, between the helmet and the shoulders. You may want to look into it. But do not take teh bike away from him. I know what it is like when you have a BURNING PASSION for motox and you cannot even understand just how devastating it can be.

i srted riding quads at liek 7 or 8. by 10 i was launching them ffo stuff. By 14 i had moved up to a 2 stroke blaster and had no prob launching it off 10' kickers topped out in 4th. Amazing i was never seriously injured.
i damn near kille dmyself on a MotoX bike. about 2 years ago. My body isn;t quite as resiliant as it once was. Now if i go down it takes little while to get back up.
he's fine just keep the governor in. OR go to radi shack and buy a few wiring goodies and rig up a wireless kill switch if he starts going buckwild hit the button and kill the engine.
