NOTHING comes before your kids. Right choice! I sold my last Harley and gave every penny of that money to a Lawyer to fight for and to get custody of my kids. I would do it again in a heartbeat if I had too. Also, before I bought another Harley I bought my Son and I Honda 250 and 500 dirt bikes so we could ride in the dirt together. It was one of the best times of my life. Mark my word, "paying it forward" will get you great returns and out of the blue something really cool is going to fall right into your lap for being a GREAT Dad. The Shotgun Shock isn't going anywhere, it will be there waiting for you when the time comes.

When you are gumming your food, your son will remember that Honda 50 you got him as a kid. He's a good looking boy loving his bike.

It's nice to see you have your priorities straight. You most certainly deserve the Shotguns when the time is right.

As much as I want the Shotgun - I don't think it will compare to the feeling of seeing my 5 year old tearing around on 2 wheels!

Hopefully by winter I can get the Shotgun.

proud Dad - just had to share, sorry

Well done.
Happy Father's Day, two weeks early...
