Some of you may remember my Uncle Calvin
« on: May 31, 2022, 05:48:46 PM »
His granson is now riding his old (2007) goldwing. Uncle Calvin passed in 2017 when Timmy was just 12. Now, he's 17 and throwing the thing around like a champ. The whole family of riders which is about 20 of us went on a 200+ mile group ride on Sunday. It was amazing. Timmy goes off to boot camp soon, so we took advantage of this day to get together.

My uncle would be proud.

My grandson is starting now, at 15, to ride on the street. A year too late as my heart attack wasted last summer. I got him a 250 Rebel to cut his street teeth on.

Calvin would be a happy camper. (as long as he doesn't tip over his gator aid bottle in his tent)  :laugh:
