Thanks for all the nice comments. This is going to be really nice for us both. The guy he got it from was reluctant to sell, but I guess medical bills had stacked up and so the Glide had to go. I felt sorry for him, but we did get smokin' deal.

me thinks you need to start searching for a knuckle so you two can work on it together.
then you can really share some stories, and don't forget to include your youngin if you have one.
My son and I have built several bikes together, Now I got a 2 month old Grandboy to start trainin.
The bikes I have now that aren't antiques will be when he's ready.

That is so cool! Several of the guys I ride with are mid 60's and 70's There was a gent in a charity ride I went on this past Sat. that was probably in his 80's. He was on a trike!
Have fun with your Dad! Enjoy the ride and both be safe!

One other thing. That was the first time I had ridden an Electra Glide, and all I can say is woooow. Man that's a smooth ride. I went over some railroad tracks and was waiting for the impact, but it never came. I turned on the radio and was riding with my hat on. I started to get spoiled so I got off it as quickly as I could.

I read this earlier today and didn't reply but, have had some time to think about it. I think it's pretty cool you and your dad will get the opportunity to spend some good times on a scoot with him.
