Fathers and Sons,,, Daughters too!!

I don't have a son and my only daughter doesn't ride (yet, I hope someday) but this is me and my father during a stop on the way home from Bike Week in Daytona 1979. We had a couple of cold beers left in the ice-filled sink the morning we left the motel, wrapped them in a towel and rolled them up in a sleeping bag for insulation. Stopped on the side of the I-4 and drank them while taking a break.
At the motel (Davey Johnson's Second Sack Motel at the time), BIL on left, me on right with my CB350F made to look like a 400F, father's Gold Wing on the right past BIL's KZ1000

It is a TTR. It was actually my wife's bike. My son rode it for a while after outgrowing his XR80 He quickly outgrew the TTR as well.Is that a TTR? Father and son on a Kawi and a Yami... looks familiar!

Very cool. I'm still trying to get my wife to ride with me.
My son outgrew his TTR after just a few trips up north. His is the 17/14 model not the L which has 19/16 wheels. It was perfect for him to learn to ride on in the parking lot at work and get some trail experience. He got a CRF250F to replace it.

How cool is that?
My wife doesn't ride with me anymore except as a passenger but we had some fun back in the day.
The date stamp is incorrect. This was 01 or 02.

Great shots!! I'm damn glad that I started this thread..I added Daughters too to the title as I should have done all along
Dude, great picture and what a view!With my wife, my son and some friends. This was an awesome day of riding.
This is my favorite picture of me and my Mom when she was still on her second bike (SL100), she started on a CT70 and went all the way to an SL175 before her last bike, a CT90

My daughter was excited when I brought home my GSA in 2013, and equally excited when the K showed up in August. She was decidedly less enthusiastic about riding in the bloody hot German weather in July.
That's amazingly cool that you have those photos. Our daughter just moved away to school a couple of months ago. Everyone always said they grow up so fast...My daughter was excited when I brought home my GSA in 2013, and equally excited when the K showed up in August.

Kids do seem to grow up very, very fast. That, and I seem to be getting older a lot faster. What the hell is happening?
