This is my older son Ben going for a loop on the DT400. Typical for me and my kids, raised on smokers and both Ben and Bill have a love for them. Nothing like the sound and smell, glad I was able to enjoy this kinda think with my kids.

Nice DT. :thumbup: Nothing like a 2 stroke eh? Pretty much raised on them myself, no wonder I like them.

Barry, Looks like you got a great Father Son/s relationship. You met my older son Ben at the Gap. Nothing like a father/son two stroke ride.

My youngest son Casey, got me back into MC's in 2004 by selling units at our local Honda shop. He was the customer service manager there. I was helping on sell units on the weekends but none of the new stuff had the sound or sell of what I liked. I told my boys "I'm going to find me a old twin cylinder two stroke street bike to ride". I could of had any Honda I wanted but You know the rest of the story.

Casey took me and the Daytona to my first drag race. They had to expain the lights on the tree to me but watch till the end. I wish he could make the trip to DG some time, you guys would think he is a hoot. That's Casey in the opening scene.

I hope I get to ride with my son someday! His mom hates motorcycles so he's going to have to be much bigger to get started riding. That DT is awesome! I settled on a IT 175 for my retro dirt fix.
