That looks like it was a fun event! See Bellowing Yellow all staged up and ready to go.
I see your Son has learned his drinking etiquette. I like the goggles!

Looks like it was a cool gathering. I was layer up with a migrain from a healing tooth, fun I know.

What kind of bike does your son have? Its cool he enjoys the hobby with you. I just picked up a AMF convertible at the last bike swap and he's having a blast going for rides on the old bikess, my oldest even joins us sometimes. I gotta get the 24" girls Schwinn rolling for my wife and it can be a full family thing.

I like the sporran used as a handlebar bag on one of those bikes. great idea.

Hope the tooth is feeling better!

Not represented well in these pics. But my nine year old rides a 1950 24"CWC I built him for a Christmas Gift.

My 11 year old has been riding this 24" Schwinn Typhoon for a few years. We have a new 26" build for the summer

I kept thinking about a character your Son looked like with the goggles
Then I remembered Fred Flintstone as "Goggles Paesano"
