Here are some old photos I dug up and scanned of my old man and his '81 (I think) XR 500 R. It was the 13th (I think) in the country. It was Honda's first model with Pro-Link suspension and was kinda a big deal (but you knew that already).
He did everything on this bike - foot ups, enduro, motox and touring!
that's my uncle on the left and his XL. Uncle as in mom's brother, not dad's brother. Dad and him were and are still best friends - that's how my dad met my mom. he always says he married my mom because it's the one chick my uncle wouldn't try steal from him :deal: . behind them is my dad's old VW camper van that he kitted out inside himself. I am told that I was in that camper van on this particular trip with my mom and aunt, but i don't remember it - I would have been 2 or 3 at the time
