BCVBeck Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 S-A-L-U-T-E! I have a new hero. Thanks for posting the video links. Cheers!
carolinarider Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Great story..I thought I was getting on in motorcycling years at 52...I'm just a young-un'! Thanks for posting..
Sonor Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 My father sold his 1945 43 ci Harley Davidson when he was 84. It was a hard tail and my father's comment when asked why he was selling was, "damn thing hurts my tailbone." He then went out and bought an ATV that he rode around in the forest for three years before he died of SARS. My hats off to that class of guy, just like the guy in your posts - thanks for sharing and helping me to remember my Dad.
catneck Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Great story. Substitute an Englishman for that Aussie and that's my father in law. He's almost 80, fixed up a Ninja his father in law bought new when he was 80. Bitched about nobody "keeping the blasted thing up". Still rides Trials. I have big boots to fill. Thanks for the Post!
enfoman Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Quite the story! Quite the Man! Enjoyed the ride with him too, even though it was virtual.
