Thumbs up Lucky!

My oldest son and I have been riding together since he bought is first bike (a Harley Night Train) in 2006. I “clocked” in at the big 60 this year and he’s 32. I always enjoy his company, but there’s something real special happening when we ride together. I can’t begin to say how much I enjoy riding with him… Doesn’t matter if it’s for 10 minutes or 10 hours! I wonder if anyone else out there feels the same riding with a son or daughter? I guess it doesn’t have to be on a Harley, but it sure makes it seem like it’s more fun that way!

Years ago, (maybe 12 or so) our son would ride on back
with me when ever the opportunity came.
Now he has his own bike ( and a girlfriend ), so we don't
ride together as much as we'd like...
But when we can spend the day together, its definatly a special day
for us both........
Every so often he'll even spring for the lunch check

When it becomes a family thing the feeling is hard to describe. My youngest son jumps on the back for weekend camping trips with dad. My oldest son rides his own, a Rocker-C, and enjoys riding with us geezers now and then. And this year the wife decided she might want to see something other than the back of my helmet so she's been riding the wheels off a sporty we got a good deal on.

Life is good

You guys are lucky. My kids are still too young yet and the wife isn't thrilled about the idea of them on the back of my bike.

I'm working on it though...

Definitely priceless moments to enjoy. Unfortunately my son rides dirt bikes, but my daughter currently enjoys being a passenger so we're waiting until I can get her in a MSF beginner course (not old enough quite yet) then she'll be my ryd'n buddy.
