Pics of your Dad's on Bikes!

[makotosun]

A great idea suggested in THIS THREAD. Pictures of your Dads (not YOU dads) on motorcycles back in the day.


I'll start off:


Some sort of BSA - wish he had kept it around . . .

as he got older, he added a couple of wheels, but still liked to ride . . .

My dad at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba during the Korean War. On a early 50's era Harley Hummer.

I wish my dad rode bikes. He was a greaser and a bad ass, but he never got into bikes. When my kids are older, they will have no shortage of these kinds of pics. Thanks for getting this thread going and sharing.

Dad only ever had two bikes, a suzuki TS185 and then the kawasaki F11b.


Pic below is Dad n I prob around 1984, then with my sister as well in 1985, then in 1996 when i finally nagged him enough to drag it out of the shed where it had sat since 1985.


Now its in my garage in many pieces being resto'd

Found this pic of my Dad after I got into bikes. He died young so I don't know if he rode this thing around in the army or not. I can only dream of having a bike like this...

I'm not aware of any "back in the day" pics of my Dad on a bike, but here are a few from a trip he and I took last summer:

Summer 2009 my Dad at the time was 73 he came out to Utah and I rented him this 1300vtx he owns a 750 Shadow that he still rides at home in Florida. He is now 75.

No pics but my pops rode a 1993 Suzuki GSXR race bike on the street, and a Guzzi that I will never know the model of.


Grandparents rode multiple Goldwings all over the US. I think they went as far west as Colorado but hit most every state in between.

Oh man, I am instantly hooked on this post. I got a pic somewhere of my old man flying off a jump on his dirt bike! Gotta find it gotta find it!
