As for dads are concerned...now that I'm 42 and still childless (probably because I'm still a child) I reflect on how my dad got me into riding. He streaked a formal Military Ball (Dining Out they call it) back in the early 70's on a Yamaha 180 two stroke twin (like a 1969 trail/street or something like that). He was so stoked and proud at the time that he took all 3 of us son's to the sight of the action the next day where the crew was still cleaning up the mess. Pop's pointed out the tire marks in the carpet and the clean up staff unknowingly started describing the astounding events of the night before with glowing admiration for the "Crazy naked man on the dirtbike..." Right then I remember thinking how cool my dad was and that I had to have a bike immediately! Though this is an extreme example, Mom, dad and us four boys always rode toghether somehow, somway, on some medium and we remain very tight to this day. I can only hope to share the same with my family someday. www.rickkadar.com

Streaking on a dirtbike?   Your dad may be an exteme example of an original rebel.  I admire his courage and creativity.  My dad used to let me ride on the back of his Electra Glide back in the sixties. He always wanted a Harley but sold it to pay for his childrens education. He should have kept it, but then again, he was way more mature , than I will ever be. At least he got me my first Cushman, my first Lambretta and my first Honda. I guess my dad was pretty cool after all.
