That's awesome! My poor Dad is 85 now and doesn't even know who I am any more. Cherish your time together.

I can't think of a better way to show your day how much u love him.

I really wish there were more men out there like yourself.

My dad got his first ever bike (well trike actually) at the age of 80. That was 2 years ago and he has almost 50k on it now. I thought I might get the trike when he passes but not sure there will be anything left of it.

Dude, thank you for making this thread! My dad is 90, just starting his struggle with dementia and this thread has given me the kick in the butt to do what you have done. Pop was in the navy during WWII and went from San Diego to San Francisco by motorcycle to catch his boat to Guam and I think he would love to take a ride. I'll have to get a better seat and a back rest but it'll be worth it. Kudos to you and enjoy every minute with your dad while you can.
