Okay, previously I said my dad was wearing white socks and boat shoes. I was mistaken! He didn't have no stinking socks on but at least his boat shoes were tied.
1966 before he jumped his Ducati and crashed:
Early 70's on his new Honda 750 after he got crunched:
Jeez. why the sudden safety gear, dad?
He later became a Deputy Sheriff and rode an AMF Harley...without boat shoes.
Loose shoe laces can cause a major problem when they get hung up on something when you go to put your foot down at a stop. Laces need to be tucked into top of boot or shoe to prevent this. JMHO and tip of the day.
FunGramps, in the first pic your dad looks like Steve McQueen.
You're not the first person to say that! Fact is, at one point he was acutally approached by someone (not sure who from the industry) and told that he might want to consider acting. He was/is still a crazy man and has always lived on the edge...water ski marathons and waterski jumping, boxing, boat racing, etc...quite the character.
