LOL Bebop - I'm glad it worked out okay.
When my son was in junior high, my husband came home with a little Triumph motorcycle - told my son it was time for him to learn to ride. My son had never been on a motorcycle and had no interest in learning. I told him to go for a ride on the back first to see if he still had no interest. When they returned after a short ride, my son was so excited he looked like he had stars in his eyes. 
The next day my husband took him out. I supported my husband's decision, but I was afraid to watch so I stayed home. When they returned, my husband walked through the door with a big smile on his face and proud as a peacock. He said "He's a natural!" 
I'm so glad my husband taught him how to ride.  My son bought himself a "crotch rocket" motorcycle while on base, and it was a lifesaver for him. It may not be the safest form of recreation, but it was better than sitting around and getting drunk with the rest of the sailors.
