My dad back before I was born. He used to ride across country on poker runs and do charity rides. Always a jokester with a wild side with a ton of crazy stories. In 1987, he’d wreck this bike and fly 100 feet breaking an insane amount of bones and spent a month in the ICU.
A year after that, one of his friends would brag about knocking up a high school girl. My dad grabbed him by the collar and threw him out of the house and said he’d kick the shit out of him if he ever showed up again, two years after that that girl would show up on my dads doorstep with no place to go. He took her in, gave her a room and spent $1000 on toys for her daughter for Christmas. In ‘94 I’d been born to them.
I lost my dad this Christmas due to Parkinson’s disease. Hold ‘em tight, listen to their stories.
