kids and dirtbikes: yes or no?

I used to ride a 250 Honda Four-Trax I had in the sand-toy capital of Glamis, CA. I wanted my son to ride it, too. On his first ride, in second gear, he went into a bush, and burned his leg on the exhaust pipe. That was it, no more of that. He's never rode anything with an engine again, but he rides road bicycles in competition, or used to, anyway. I was working on a plan to get my Grandsons a Honda Grom to share in TX, but the deal fell through. My BIL, a really good dirt/street rider, got his boy on a dirt bike at a young age, and now he's a really good street rider, but needed cash and sold his bike.
