Title: Dads birthday present
Post by: ashman on September 09, 2006, 06:22:08 PM
So yesterday was my dads 55th birthday and I wanted to get him something cool but I'm dead broke so I had to get creative. Since I moved home my dad has been talking more and more about wanting to get a bike, last Sunday I let him take the GS for a ride and he had a huge smile on his face when he got back. He rode a 350cc yamaha back in college, then got married well you kno the story.... I spent all Friday afternoon doing a oil change, waxing the GS up ect. When he got home from work he asked if I was taking the GS to see my g/f this weekend and got this kinda sad look on his face when I told him I was. So I decided to let him have the GS all weekend. I got him a card and taped a key in it and told him have fun this weekend. I'm SO the favorite kid right now. My mom was having some girly get together Today so I kno my dad wanted out of the house. Hopefully the GS will inspire him to get back into riding.
