(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… ![](http://londonbikers.com/forums/Uploads/Images/1f7e6f2a-cfe9-4f33-835f-2f7b.JPG) 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. KSG ---

If you do decide to go to Arid-zona 😉 Then you will have to pop in to see my Ma for a cuppa, oh and a ride on her quad bike! Great news about the Harley but I’m still chuckling about the thought of you in your one piece on that 😉 ---
