Tribute to my father

[fishb8nz]

Hey NM - I had a cool dad. When he was my age he'd had a heart attack and loved his bikes. Mum and I came to a secret agreement to keep my dad off his bike, probably for the best, but he still wanted to ride. 30 years on, I've just got a bike that my dad would have loved and fortunately I don't smoke like my dad and I'm in good shape. Still, I know my dad would be dead chuffed for me and I'd like to have seen my dad on wheels again.
Nothing wrong with a bit of sentiment for those loved and missed.

Whoa makes me want to go and have a yarn to my old (78) dad who used to ride as well. Thanks for the timely reminder..
Fond memories my friend.

Cheers Terbang, cherish the moments and relive some motorcycling stories with him. That's exactly what I would be doing right now if I had the chance (choice).

Mate - don't ever question the fact that you feel emotional about anything (except Bambi), especially when it's associated with the loss of a loved one. It's natural.

Good on you for having the strength to post here. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

and I bet you wish you had that Mach 3 now?

Oh yes, seeing that immaculate one pass over on TradeMe at $8K just proves how valuable they are !!

I would dearly love to restore one but I think it's well beyond my budget.
