Helping my son embrace his passion for Motocross

Wednesday 4th September 2024

When Dave’s son first showed an interest in Motocross, Dave was keen to support his new hobby. Thanks to a Novuna loan, Dave was able to buy his son a new bike to help him achieve his dreams.

“My 11-year-old son has ADHD, so we were advised to get him to focus on something he really loved,” Dave explains. “We noticed he often showed great concentration when he’d done the odd Motocross day, so wondered if riding could help him in the long term.”

There are many options when it comes to financing a bike, and initially Dave decided to save up and buy one outright.

“I bought him an older bike so, if he decided he didn’t want to ride anymore, I wouldn’t have spent too much.”

Dave tells us his son quickly became a Motocross enthusiast and loved every second of riding. But, like most hobbies, riding isn’t cheap and when Dave’s son outgrew his bike Dave looked into other options.

I’d spent a lot of my spare money on track days and parts, and just didn’t have enough to buy him a new bike outright too. So I decided to take a loan out so he could continue his passion. He has since done his first race and wants to race a full session next year.

We’re looking forward to hearing the latest updates from the budding Motocross superstar.
