ok…im sooo exited right now!!..i even had a little bit of pee come out…:w00t:

my father and i havent bonded with each other for about 15-16 years…ever since i joined the army really…he was in the USAF as a pilot and i think he wanted me to follow that route…

so…anyways…ive been thinking about a trip to the states for 2 weeks to get alittle bonding time togeather…in about 2 years or so…so as to give some time to save up and doo it all propper…

my plan was to rent a Harley(as my father has one)and go cruising across from Georgia…to across the desert…maybe Arizona to the grand cayon…;).

(i always remember a picture of him back in 1977 when he was standing in front of the canyon)…

anyways…he said he wants to get a new Harley and it would be insane to rent one for 2 weeks…soo…(here’s the best bit)…he’s giving me the one he has now and is gonna buy the new one…giving me his harley…!!!:D…my god man…!!!..he said as of the phone call that bike is mine as it gives him a good excuse to shop for a new one…!!!

im sooo thrilled right now words can not describe…the fact that i will be riding across America with my old man…on a Harley…is beyond beleif…

sorry for banggin on…but im sooo thrilled…i need a stiff drink to calm these nerves…lol

here’s the bike…

smiled:D.

Let me know if your route takes you anywhere near Kansas or Oklahoma…I’ll ride out and meet you guys…maybe head west with you for a ways.

I’ve got extra room and a big garage to safely stow away the bikes if you guys are needing a place to rest for a night…steaks on the grill and beers all around.
