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:

That is freaking awesome! Father of the year right there!

Nice man. Looks like a blast!

sweet i always wanted one when i was younger. Coolest dad ever

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.

5 hp?

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.

that's nice, wanna nother son? He is gonna tear up the yard in that lol!

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.
