Default picked up a go-kart
Found it on Craigslist. I got it for the kid for Christmas.

It's a 2005 Carter Brothers Talon DLX150IIR:


I also got him a new HJC helmet off Amazon:

Thanks guys!

I'm feeling like the Dad who got his kid the BB gun in A Christmas Story.

He's really going to like it, but I'm hoping he doesn't shoot his eye out.

You'll have to ride shotgun til he gets the hang of it. Do you have room to ride at your place?

The go-kart was built by Carter Brothers in Alabama. They had a huge fire in 2010 and the company went under.

The motor is a GY6 type: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GY6_engine

It was made by Linhai, model 157FM. I believe it's 150cc and 8.6 hp.

I have 10.5 acres and most of it is clear fields. I'll definitely be riding with him or watching him for a long long time.

When he's older there are a lot of trails that connect to the back of the property.
