A new motorcyclist has been born.
« on: October 10, 2011, 09:28:10 PM »
Meet my grandson Brody.  I rode the Connie from Tampa  all the way to Augusta GA and back this weekend for his Saturday night delivery.  I shot this pic 2 hours after he was born.

All I could make out through his tiny sounds and newborn grunts was "granddaddy, I want a motorcycle"

Lets see now, Tampa to Augusta, Ga. Don't know the miles, but I'll bet the miles on the Connie will be going up very quickly.
You just can't live that far from  a new grandbaby and not see him more then a couple times a yr.
Have fun on all those rides in your future, and be safe fopr the little guy.
Oh yea, congrats.
RSA, and ATGATT please.

Congratulations Steve, and mom and dad too.

As far as the motorcycle riding though.... I noticed a few things: his legs seem to be reaching forward, and at least one arm seems to be reaching forward and up; I don't want to alarm anyone but could he be trying to get into a cruiser riding position, complete with tall ape- hangers? He isn't making any really loud, oddly timed and off- tune noises, is he? I hope I am wrong about all of this but you might want to hang around there and try to show him the proper motorcycle riding form as often as possible so that 'other' form does not take hold....  ;D

Nothing smells better than a new baby......................except for 110 octane.   ;D

Congrats Steve, but I do have to say that you are slippin' on your picture taking.  I expected to see that baby with a honda jacket to protect him and keep him from 'strolling" on the dark side.
