    Was out helping my dad work on his '68 Delta 88 Convertible chasing some electrical issues as well as helping him do some other add jobs (he's 82 and getting around is a little tougher nowdays) .We're just about done and he says he was at an auction the other day and bid on lot and it included a motorcycle and he asked if I wanted it. "Sure! " I said. Then he showed me this sweet old school chopper.... 8O

    I probably won't be riding it anytime soon since I think the cylinders are seized, there' no back brake, I have no key for it, the center stand is missing and I couldn't find the shifter......not to mention
    it's ummm ...well..... it's pretty small..

    The up side is I can keep it in the house without worrying about oil leaks!! :D
    It actually has some pretty cool detail to it....maybe I'll try to teach one of the cats to ride it... 8O

    Hahaha, gotta love dads....

    One Christmas when I was much younger my Dad told me he got me a pet snake, which I had been wanting for a while. A nice rubber one was inside when I unwrapped the package....

    One Christmas my dad had this gift for me under the tree...was heavy as hell. When I opened it up there was the front rotor off an old Ford F350. Underneath it was a $100 bill.
