Relatives , old pics and motorcycles

Mines been gone 5 years - Cut down by Prostate Cancer. Missed everyday....:(

Sure wish I had taken a pix of him riding my Matchless G15 back in 1965. :(
Been gone 20 years this April and I sure miss him, still almost every day.

Sorry for your losses :( My pop's gonna be 86 in couple months. Still healthy as a horse. Still climbs trees to hunt deer from tree stands. :eek: My mums 85. She has a bit of stomach trouble but it doesn't seem to slow her down any. I know they won't be around forever. I've been blessed to have this much time with them. I'm sure gonna miss them when their gone.
 
Here's where it all started for me. Notice the special length pants for crossing streams :rolleyes:

Just noticed I must have been sleeping at the light. Lights green and front wheel is still on the ground :oops:
Must have still been time trials. I know the guy in that Camaro. He would have got almost a whole tree head start on me in eliminations. (Bracket racing).
 
I came out of an Orphanage , so no rellies I know of at all . Met my mother when I was 40 , she told me I have an elder brother that's into bikes .. had no luck tracking him down though. Tried for a fair while as did my eldest daughter but he's disappeared it seems. Good looking at your pics and wondering though ;) got the 'motorbike gene' from somewhere.

Your story makes ne even more grateful for the relationships I had with my grandparents and Dad (Mom's still with me).
Knowing how important their influence was to my development really makes me appreciate what you missed, Trevor.
What you give of yourself for kids who need adults in their lives today speaks volumes for you character!
Merry Christmas to you and Catherine.

Fred,
Did not know of your rich motor history - VERY COOL indeed!!!
Thanx for sharing the pix.

Here is me and my pa in 1972. That's my 1970 Kawasaki 175 "Bushwhacker". Once again I'm prepped for high water :rolleyes:. My dads on his 1966 Kawasaki A1SS "Samurai" that he bought as a basket case and rebuilt on the ping pong table in the basement. Yep, frightened women covered their children's eyes when we rolled into town :D
