[QUOTE="longtime, post: 147281, member: 16513"] One of my favorite dad stories. I wanted a motorcycle (15 years old). My mom didn't want me to have one. Mopeds were big at the time, she said I could have one of those. Driving to get it after I saved enough money (my dad kicked in $100 if I raised the rest myself), I mentioned to my dad how I had seen an MT-125 on sale for $575 (trick Honda 2 stroke street legal enduro for you youngsters). How it was probably safer than a squirrely moped. How boy would I sure like to get one of those. I almost died when he said maybe I was right . . . and drove me to the motorcycle shop! We bought it (still the most beautiful bike I've seen -- unbiased opinion, of course). The very next day I was driving to school and some kid accidentally kicked a ball under my rear tire. I was barely doing 25 at the time, but even that gentle little put-down broke a bone in my foot. I hid it for about 1 hour after getting home before my mom figured out I was limping. . . :o I cannot imagine what my dad endured that night at the ER and for gosh-knows-how-long afterwards, for letting me get that bike. :p But it's probably my favorite "dad event" -- always will be, too.
