A friend of mine inspired me to get a GoPro as I started rebuilding my bike this past spring. They also encouraged me to start a youtube page and post some badass videos of the new bike up. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0t...-VcUz2obDgPwRA
Some of you that post up in the touring section have seen the bike but I wanted to spread the word about it a little more, along with my story. Mostly because it is therapeutic, but also to connect with people who have had similar dealings. Cliff notes version, My Father was diagnosed with Dementia after many years of abuse and misuse of his body. He also suffered a TBI from a high side crash on his 2006 Street Glide. As he declined, I put my personal life on hold, including riding, and dedicated my time to my father. While working a 40hr week job I acted as his night time aid. Before things went south, he asked me to store his bike, register it, maintain it, and more importantly, RIde the wheels off of it.
Here is a picture I took of its original form, after I took possession of the Street Glide. This was during a epic 1,027 mile in 17 hour ride with Mt Katahdin in the background.
I took the time and effort to do a frame off re build of it, Here
I just wanted to share this, I have worked very hard to create this, and share the legacy of it and of my father. Thanks for reading.
