The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

So a year or so ago I helped my (now soon-to-be 16yr old) son to start a small business to help him learn the basics of money management and saving for what you want etc. I told him that he's the eldest of 5 and that I won't be buying cars etc. so he should think about what he wants and how he's going to afford it! We came up with a paracord 'business' where he makes various items from true 550 paracord (no cheap knock-offs) and would sell them at craft fairs with my wife, as well as online. His Etsy shop has kind of gone by the wayside as he's been so busy from the craft shows, making a fine product at a very reasonable price. He's got a good size deposit on a car, although he now really want to ride my bike!

Well today I came home from work and he had decided to make me an early birthday present!! He took my PCX keys and attached the key chain shown below that he had worked on today. He normally does cobra and king cobra weaves which yield about 1-2' of cord per inch of weave, but this is one of his more intricate weaves that takes a lot longer and puts a lot more cord into it. It's a basic black, but the red is an almost exact match for my red PCX and it has a 3M reflective stitch through it. Completely awesome if I don't say so myself!

Very cool, and very proud dad!!

Hey Fez,

That's a great way for a young man to get started. Is he taking orders and does he offer discounts to forum members?

If you want, you can post a link to his Etsy store here, or in the marketplace: http://hondapcx.org/viewforum.php?f=13

@GeezyRider - yes on orders, and I'm sure that I can convince (read: bribe with rides on the bike!!) to offer discounts!

@maddiedog, I'll have him look at updating his store and posting something in the marketplace, thanks for pointing that out!

I was only kidding about the discount but I'll keep a watch on the marketplace for purchasing info.

My little brother likes to make these bracelets too. We bought him all the supplies, he sold two, but it too lazy to do any more. He is better with orders. I told him next time we do a yard sell he should set up a table

Here's a link to a black/red-reflective that he's just posted on Etsy, as well as a link to his Etsy store. He'll be adding a plain red/black as well as a black/grey-reflective shortly.
