We keep the bike at his grandpas house 7 miles away. He drove out there, picked up the bike, rode to town, through town, to his girlfriends place, through the back roads and I heard him pull in my driveway. He rode for probably 30 miles. I could see he was freezing, but he wouldn't admit it. He did ask if we could just leave the bike here and go pick up the truck at grandpas.
At least now he knows that he needs real riding gear if he is going to do that again.

It's not a question about how tough anyone is. I am tough enough to do it .....but I am also smart enough to know that I don't have to prove how tough I am. (D@mn!.....I think my father said that to me once)

It isn't, we all know but, we all had to learn from our mistakes. He is going through that now.
It's called "growing up" and most of us do but not all.
