His last bike 1994 FLSTN. Lost the pictures of his '77 Lowrider and the rice burners from the early and mid 70's in a flood.

Gotta love a good family tradition. Be sure to pass it on if possible. My dad didn't ride or turn wrenches so I was on my own. My daughter grew up riding with me but once she "grew up" she lost interest. She has two sons I'm working with now. Several days ago we were wrenching and cleaning. They pulled their various wheels out next to my wife's bike and joined her in a spring cleaning session. Beautiful day!

I hear you. My daughter still likes riding with me and she puts the phone down for a few seconds when I tell her about all the miles I rode on the back of her grandpa's bikes.
