I took a friend's (he doesn't ride) father for his first ride when he was in his 80's before he passed away. He loved it. We took his picture. It's one of my friend's favorite pictures of his father and is on his mantle piece.

Great story! I've read similar stories, but it's always good to read about Harley riders willing to lend a hand to help people enjoy life's experiences. Sometimes a few minutes of your time which may seem insignificant to you can mean a lot to someone else.

This is a much better thread than the one about the IPMC and the HA's. Nothing but negative there.

I am so glad to here positives on this website, and about riders that make things like this happen.
