Damn, thats awesome. I wish my family history were more like that. I grew up strict southern baptist. My folks hated bikers and everything that they stood for. I remember the first time i saw a dude on a long chop in the late 80's while on a roadtrip. His long hair, tattoos and ftw attitude really stuck with me. I knew then as a young lil shit that that was where its at. I bring my lil boy with me to the bike shop as often as i can. He's 4 years old, and loves motorcycles. It really pisses my family off that he digs it so much. Best feeling in the world is when he's perched up on the tank of my shovel chop laughing and begging me to go faster of course i rarely get out of 1'st while he's on it I'm trying to give him the childhood i never had. I can't wait til my lil man is old enough to go blastin beside me on his own chop that we build together. All you dudes that have dads and gramps that were in it are lucky. Cherish they're stories.

heres another one. it was my moms fiance at the time. he took off to ohio one day in his old chevy stub well some shit happened and he was killed. right before that there was a big life insurance policy takin out on him. my mom and the rest of the crew tried to prove it but back then it was like hippy bikers didnt have the same rights as the rest of the population
