Message full balls-out speed. We crammed him into the passenger seat, got the 5 pt harness all strapped up around him, slapped a helmet on, and set off. Having a full complement of at least 500 lbs of Guapo and Great Guapo, I could certainly feel the extra weight in the handling. I still gave it a go, and was doing pretty well considering. About halfway through the session, he was pretty quiet. I yelled out to ask if he was okay ...

Hearing my 63 year old father yell back "Yeah!!! This is AWESOME!!!" with a big thumbs up almost brought tears to my eyes.

We ended the session and he had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face when he took his helmet off. It was truly one of the best times I've had in my Z ownership being able to experience that with my Dad.

People have the right to freedom of expression. However, people also have the right to point and laugh- aliaZ 04/06/06
