Sporty's are, indeed, a very hipster choice.  Not my cup of tea for everyday riding, but I've always liked HD flat track machines.  Of course, I also like the Honda trackers as well, like the Honda RS750 (http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/asp/classics/bike.asp?id=25).

My beautiful daughter is 17 today. I have not seen her much in the past 7 years since her mother absconded illegally with her. Baitch fcuked off with some plan to shack up with a (richer) cnut.

But for all the time waiting, all the hardship, all the legal cases, just to speak with my daughter is so beautiful.

Kids are great.

I have three kids - two sons 20 and 18, and a 16yr old daughter. My boys are keen  pillion riders, but my daughter Kate has always been scared to have a try. Yesterday I planned to see my Dad, and to my surprise Kate asked if she could come. I said, 'Which bike?' and she chose the Norton. Not surprising really, bright red and shiny chrome. It was a 60 mile round trip, during which there were moments when I swear she was trying to squeeze the life out of me. But we got home, and she was buzzing. 'Can we go out on the Honda next time Dad?' 'Course we can!' I said.

Best Fathers Day ever :)

Hang in there. No one can ever replace you. Youre her Dad and things will right themselves!
