    Default It took 79 years !!!

    My dad bought me a motorcycle when I turned 15 and mentioned that he would buy one too. Well that was 43 years ago !!!

    Well at the ripe age of 79, HE FINALLY BOUGHT A BIKE
    We went riding together yesterday and I turned him on to this site and he is now a member, please welcome Squeakin Deacon to the board !

    Way to go Squeekin'!
    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    That's absolutely awesome Dave! Congrats to your Dad and I hope you two get to enjoy a lot of rides together. Your Dad sure doesn't look his age either.

    And to Squeakin Deacon!

    He's 79 in that pic? That's cool man, the way it's supposed to be. I better be riding when I'm 79, or I'll just quit paying my taxes now!

    Now which one is the dad here! God blessed you so richly my friend... I sure hope you realize it! What a fantastic picture and story! May you ride safely - both of you. And truly with tears in my eyes, I would have given ANYTHING to have my dad with me on a motorcycle today.

    Blessings and keep us posted!

    Default He finally moved up !

    Well I rode with my dad multiple times and at 6'5" he looked small on his 650cc Yamaha.
    I told him he probably needed a bigger bike, so he went out and picked up a Goldwing 1500cc.

    I have that same wish. My father told me he rode an old Indian. Would have enjoyed seeing me ride my nine.... Enjoy riding with your Dad as long as you can. Gotta be fun.
