What's noteworthy about the video is the great relationship between the son and father.  Love it.

Good one and glad I saw it before this so I wouldn't leek too badly this time.

I'm working on a 750 that my dad bought off my brother because he had to move to Chicago. Unfortunately it was 25 years after my dad passed before I stumbled across it. Hoping to have enough dough to get it running this next summer to share with my big brother.

With all the negativity, fighting, and contentiousness we are bombarded with on a daily basis, that was a great piece. Thanks for sharing it. Brilliant.

 I had a 400F at a car show and found an old boy like him trying to sit on my bike. I went over and talked to him for a while and he told me about all of the British bikes he had owned over the years which was his favorite and how much he missed them. I rolled the bike onto the sidewalk and helped him sit on it. A couple friends came over just in case he needed help. This reminded me of that man. His lady friend was just as sweet.

Years ago my youngest son sold a cb175 twin and the guy that bought it was buying it so he could restore it for his father.
