Congrats Les! Your brood blows me out of the water, I only became a grandpa (twice) this year.  Whadda ya mean the bike isn't on the road, how are you going to sow those oats if you can't travel?

Congrats. I had my son later in life. If he waits that long, I will never see Grand kids.

Darwin prefers you over me for certain reasons, perhaps.

Any of my offspring could not have done my grandchildren yet, possibly there would be.

A friend of mine got married very shortly after I left town in the mid/late  eighties.

I remember her saying 'pull out' a little late and I always liked the idea of another Junior like me.  He'd be about 25 now, maybe I should look him up and see if he's rich... :o ;D :o :( ;) :D :-X :-\  and so he can find his "real" DAD" on Oprah.  Perhaps he exists(?)(!).

 Maybe he would embrace the SOHC and 450 junk in the back yard and take it into the third generation as either a machinist or a doctor who pays a machinist/mechanic.

One can only thank that now that the court sh8 and potential child support could have happened..... is just speculation of a number iii.

Congrats Les, get that bike moving, because if you don't your'e going to wake up, reach over for the comfort of the matches on the table and find out some SOB has stolen them and you'll never be able to set the world on fire, which means you'll have to wait for one of the younger generations to do it, and you "know kid's today" syndrome will set in.
