    That was me teaching the wife to ride behind me some 33 years ago. My sisters as well.
    She got a lot better and had nerves of steel after a while. Then I got her a brand new Dyna Wide glide and she went to the ABAT thing. After that when she was behind me she was the best rear seat partner I ever had.
    Ya know, after that I've never ridden a bike again, never had the desire, I've got a lot of friends that do, I don't know, it just isn't my thing I guess?

    I loved riding with dad, I'd sit and wait two hours, helmet in hand to go on a 10 minute bike ride! Those were good times!

    My kids rode with me as soon as they could hold on. We had a dirt track in the back yard and they would sit on the tank, hang onto the headache bar on the handlebars and we would see how far we could ride wheelies. Neighbors loved me............:)

    I've ridden bikes since I've been 8 or 9. Something I have to do. Hard to explain. But I'm retiring from the hard core crap to. Your looking at Joe Citizen! Yup can't wait!

    First ride....1958 Harely Topper. I was 9 (1959) and my uncle told me if I could start it I could ride it. He figured it would take a long time for me to start that 1 lung Wisconsin engine....wrong. Rode it that day. Been nuts ever since........:)

    Same uncle that owned the Topper was a hill climber/drag racer in those days. Had a 250 Sprint and a 350 when it came out. He raced them both so you know they were stock....:laugh:
    They were my next step up in my pre-teens. The 350 was a bear to start.
