Awesome
That is super of him. Enjoy it! I am sure you will. My dad died before I turned 2 of cancer and never really got to meet him. I was raised by a single mom. She did well. Today I have two kids. A daughter who is 5 and a son who is 9. They are both learning to love to finally ride on my Harley.
As of late my son can not get enough of it. It is great. Sad part is due to my divorce and work schedule I only see them a few days a week. Take it all in as time is precious.
Thank you for sharing this!

To cool! Sounds like a great Dad...enjoy the time with him, take plenty of pictures to look at later down the road and share with your kids....wish I had my Dad around.
That's why this year my son and I are headed to Sturgis...together! I have three boys and all ride...sure is sweet riding and looking in the mirror and seeing them behind me, sharing the road and times on the bikes...great memories! Gets expensive at times, Mom won't let them pay for anything
. But I wouldn't trade the times for all the gold in the world!

Great story. Ride as much as you can with your dad.
I rode with my dad for 20 years until he was 70, when his knees were so sore and swollen with arthritis he couldn't swing a leg over the seat. We share so many great times on the rode and were very close. I am hoping my 23 year old son will get a H-D soon so I can continue those moments.
God bless dad, we lost him last year June at age 79.

Wow, great story. As others have said, enjoy every mile with him. My dad rides every ride with me too now(in spirit). I think riding with your dad means as much to him as it does to you. You are two lucky guys!

That story touched my heart. Cherish every second! My Dad is gone and I never got to fly airplanes or ride motorcycles with him which was (is) a passion for both. But his spirit is with me always.
