Bikes and family....

Ok, to most of you that aren't either a rider or a gear head...this may just look like a really pretty peice of loud metal to you. To me? It's my dream bike. It's my dad's '49 panshovel. It rips like there ain't no tommorrow. My mom has a '77 shovel but she didn't have any pics of it up for me to filch off of her blog...he he...so this will most certinly do.

My dream is to one day have my own and if the day should come that my dad says that he can't ride anymore...I don't ever see that happening, but you never know....I hope that he bestoys it on me. I can remember many times that I would help him through the years take it apart and put it back together again. Them gas tanks, even with little to no gas in them, are rather heavy. Good thing when I was abou13-14 I was able to bench press about 120 free weight. Key word there: WAS...I'm lucky if I can do half of that now....crap.

Again, this is my big little brother James. This is his bike...my mom gets afraid every time he gets on it...even though the three of us have been riding for quite a while. I myself have not rode in about 3 years. But trust you me boy...I will be on a bike again... My dad said that I should have had my first Harley by the time I was 21, James got his when he was 21, and my dad got his first when he was 21....I'm 28 and still trying.LOL. I'll happen...

Now, growing up in a Harley house hold, you would not expect to see a Honda any where near the place right? WRONG....trust me when I say that I just about had a stroke when my dad said that he had a 50th limited addition Honda Goldwing. All my life I always heard him talk smack about Honda's...well, 'cept for the dirt bikes.....and here he was betraying me with this bike.

Then I got on back and rode bitch with him for the first time. I was actually rather suprised at the agility and smoothness this bike had. For being a touring bike, it was actually rather snazzy. I can't go into all the extra's that it has on it...but I will say this much...Honda new that maybe more then one 250 pounder would be on it at one time...cause they installed a hydrolic lift on the rear tire to equal out the pressure. Smart more...made for a great ride I'll tell ya that....

Ok, now it's time for me to go and do the dishes right quick, I shall post again tomorrow maybe.

Remember, be true to you and ones you love and you will never go wrong. :-)
