Hey Wes,

A great initiative that every son should one day experience with his Dad.

My dad passed away when I was 13 so when I read stories like this, it makes me pleased that you're doing things together while you are together.

Good on yer!

Earlier this week, I mentioned to my dad he should take my bike for spin. He said the last time he was on a bike was in the 70's!! I think it's going to take some work to get him to ride with me.....

Hey , the KLR will be familiar at least.

 

[Groenie]

Not really, I've seen him checking out MM's Stofkoei.

 

[shark_za]

But the KLR was around in those days

My son and I share rides together. Last Sunday he landed with a puncture while I fell off in the dirt. My son is the one with the blue pants.

We share the same intrest such as photography, riding and music. We're hoping to do a long trip togerther sometime next year.

Yip, it's great when one can share with one's son's.

The two forefront bikes (Dakars) our ours.

Hi Wes that is great I am trying to get my son to buy a bike 

 

[Raggety]

WEs , for sure , special memories.

My dad is a bit old for that (83 and body not in shape for it) . However, last year some few months after I bought my Vara, I took him for a short ride.  AFter that the stories came out.  He rode a Red Indian in the North AFrican sand during WWII.  Had a BMW with side car  whilst doing duty in another place.  Other types...... WHen he ride pillion that day with me, it was the first time he rode as a passenger on a bike.

Wes, it would be super if you can get your dad to do it more with you.

Very nice Wes. :thumleft: I wish I could still go riding with my dad.

 

[Uiltjie]

Wel done Wes!  Respect!

My dad taught me to ride when I was 5, he ran next to me on a Yamaha Mini Enduro....the rest is history, I have never been without a bike since then.

My dad was 47 yrs older than me, so, we almost never rode together.  However, I started young and have 3 boys that will surely be riding with me on long rides once they have their licenses.  For the moment they all ride illegally with me on dirt roads.  That is a priviledge, I tell you!
