    I ride with my dad alot. He bought me my first bike(1975 Sportster) and was pissed when i bought a BUELL bcuz"its wasnt a harley" and then he rode it... he did a 3 gear wheely down main street on it (he used to race MX so he's much better @ wheelying than I). then he lightened up a bit on the buell bashing, still gets the occasional jab in though. Its all good i enjoy out running him in everyway possible; mileage, acccel, top speed, cornering, and stopping.

    Ne one else ride with their old man?

    Here's his 01 heirtage(yes he's a vet, hence the flags) with my 07 uly:

    Not yet but I want to... I just got my bike in February and I don't think my old man has been up to riding lately. He has a 100th anniversary '03 soft tail, a really sweet bike.

    I love riding with my father. Unfortunately he was rear ended(in his car) a few years ago by a texting teen girl and screwed up his back. He only gets out a few times a year now. He says it's painful and he just doesn't enjoy it now. He has a road king, real nice and clean, and when the timing tensioner went out he had big cams put in. Sounds pretty mean, although that bike is certainly not my style lol.

    Thought I had a pic of us together but I guess I don't...

    I also ride with my father in law, quite often. He has a nice sv1000 and he is a pretty damn good rider.

    I'm gonna bring some rain down on this parade. My dad passed away 5 years ago(I was 25). The 2 things that sadden me most about is passing are

    1, I never got to ride with him(on the street)
    2, my future children will never meet him.

    Take advantage of the time you have with your dads.
