I am one of the lucky ones. My dad bought us dirt bikes when we were kids and watched us zoom around the yard until he could afford an old honda. We had many bikes, but never a Harley. I have always wanted one and finally sold my Honday Shadow and bought a Heritage Springer. My dad thinks I'm nuts cause, "it will just break down on you and you'll hold up the rest of us". He's not even interested in trying it out for a while and gives me a hard time about it. All I can say is he's the one missing out, but at least he still rides with me when we get the chance.
