Lost my dad today... he never got to see any of the bikes I had done.. something I really wish he could of. But he did enjoy listening to me talk about them. I kept telling him my dream bike is a vintage Huffy tandem (I'm a Huffy kid at heart)

my friend at the scrapyard i pick sends this photo just now... going out to grab it next week.

Re: Bittersweet day

Sorry for your loss
The tandem looks like a cool project in the making and nicely symbolic of friendship and togetherness...

Sorry for your loss. My dad passed last week, Dec. 16. It is rough this time of year. We'll get through it. Gary
 
Re: Bittersweet day

Sorry for your loss, Nice tandem project there. I'm sure he's smiling down on this build.
 
Re: Bittersweet day

I only really pick one scrapyard, and it's in Carrollton.. my friend just happens to be part owner of it so I get first dibs on any bike they get... mostly donate the kids bikes away and keep the cruisers I find

and many thanks for all the kind words from all of you here..
hoping this will keep my mind occupied :?
 
Re: Bittersweet day

sorry for both of your losses, I feel your pain. Lost my pops a year ago this past Dec. 15th. good luck restoring the tandem.
 
Re: Bittersweet day

Sorry about your Dad. You should build up the bike as a tribute, I'm sure he would love it.
 
Re: Bittersweet day

I am truly sorry t hear your dad passed as we all know kids bikes and fathers are like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches they just are ment to be together. I have lost almost 13 family members and very close friends this year due to the economy, drugs,cancer, u name it. So i definitely know how you feel. Now is the time to reflect on all the good times you had and cherish the memories of your loved one. and now there is no better way but to build your dream bike in their honor! It will be therapeutic, as well as pride building. I cant wait to see the bike when its done if you choose to build it.
