Default Finished building my grandson's first HD

My grandson is about to turn 2. A couple of weeks ago we rode up to a family get-together. He INSISTED on sitting on the bike when we got there. He would not get off without quite a few minutes of crying.

Apparently, when everyone woke up the next morning, my grandson was not in his bed. He was found in the garage proudly sitting on my bike....I woke up because we were sleeping over the garage and he started screaming when they pulled him off of the bike.

So grandma found a Fisher-Price 6-Volt, 3-wheeled trike, with a V-Twin and flames and a few H-D emblems. It's going to HIS house so I don't have to hear the screaming. I wonder how happy his parents will be with that.

Looks like I've created a monster....but he was a very happy monster when he was sitting on a motorcycle. Boy made me proud....

Sorry. I don't have pictures with me. If that weren't lame enough, I can't even copy and paste a link using my Android phone. Yet.

If you google "Power Wheels Fisher-Price Harley-Davidson Rocker", it should get you to some pictures of the little trike. Of course, he's getting a black one...

That is awesome! There is a story about someone setting on your bike without you knowing it that turned out ok.

I imagine dirt bikes will be next. I don't know if my body can survive another round of dirt bikes , but it'll be fun finding out.

That's one heck of a build! I hope you're ready to upgrade that seat and maybe those bars though, I think I'd be a little hunched over on there myself
