This is awesome! The video was a great share. What year is that Fat Boy? I remember getting my first bike at 18 and both my parents against it. I didn't do it to rebel, but I rebelled to keep riding. You're an incredible father for having the strength and faith in your son to start him on this path. "Worlds Greatest Dad" coffee mug belongs to you sir.

The bike is a 1992. I paid $4k for it then dropped probably another $4k into it... Worth every penny!

This is the framed picture I gave him, btw. That's him on the Fat Boy and me on my Street Bob (now Road King).
