Thumbs up Back from nj

hi made to NJ on Friday drove 2 days in rain pickup my sons bike Friday night i rode it to his place it was raining where he lives there is a 1.5 mile parking area i though him to ride in there until 1:30 am he put 30 miles on in there
Saturday i went to work with him until 12 when the sun came out we rode from 12 to 12 i had him on rt 10/80/287 /46 he did good we had to stop by his tattoo guy where he bought me a new tattoo of his name and my other son name Gabe-Joe now present on my arm
i got on the road Sunday am in rain and stopped about 3 pm did about 350 miles finished the trip today drop the bike off for new 110 motor
bike will be back Friday
if i had to do it again and knew about the rain I WOULD DO IT IN A HEART BEAT IT WAS GREAT
thanks Gabe
PS for those who might think that it was wrong for me to have my son pay for tattoo i payed for all meals and bought Him his new Harley jacket and boots and sunglasses and shirts and helmet

psps i took 77 to 81 to 87 to 24

Well done, Dad.... Sounds like it all went well. Those moments are priceless, and you'll talk about it for years to come. I know!

I ENVY EVERYTHING YOU DID THAT DAY!!!

I want to ride in the rain, but am so apprehensive about doing so.

I want to get a tatoo, but don't know what to get.

My 27 yr daughter wants to take me for one, and YOU JUST CONVINCED ME!!

I live in Staten Island, and it sounds good to be close to home :-)

The only thing that is wrong with what you did was not bringing your son back with you and out of NJ. It really looks nice; in the rear-view mirror.
