Default Riding With The Little Guy

Found out my son loves to ride on the back with me. Got the Kuryakyn adj passenger pegs and they work out great for his feet. Went out this morning for a nice day together. He found out that motorcycle trips with dad seem to end up at the ice cream store.

Took him by the local dealer as well trying to get him to pick out what he wants when he gets old enough. Only thing that gets him excited are the "ones I can lay down on". Guess I have some more work to do in the next 9 years.

He loves listening to the music and found the passenger volume adj and the channel seek button on the back. Really great times we have together.

I carried my oldest daughter thousands of miles on my ol' '86 Classic. Now she works for the local Harley-Davidson dealer, has for the past 15 years.

Good dads are in larger supply than the feminist media would have you believe.

Enjoy every ride you get with him, when he turns about 14 years old, according to my son, it will "look too gay" to ride with dad! My 18 year old daughter still loves to get on back whenever she can, 16 year old son won't go again until he can get his own.

My daughter also loves to ride with me. I am trying to soak up as much as I can because i know that some day some bone head is going to come and take her away.

One of the saddest days of my life was when my son got too big to ride with me. I have a bike waiting for him in the garage.
