1962 Harley-Davidson XLCH Chopper - Pick Of The Pen

Since then, I have been given a rare opportunity to rekindle the father/son relationship with my two oldest boys, Ralph, 44, and Tom, 45. Two years ago, Ralph purchased a Big Dog chopper and painted it blue. Coincidence? I like to think not. I now have two other Harleys, a '97 Springer Softail and an '06 Ultra Classic. Since I'm 70, the Classic is a dream to ride.

I don't ride the chopper much these days, but when I do, I can't help but get nostalgic when my son Ralph is riding his Big Dog out in front. I enjoy having that time with him to share old memories and create new ones...seeing two bikes go down the road, a '62 chopper and an '04 chopper riding side by side, father and son. One time Ralph looked over at me, smiled, and said, "You still got it, Pop."

Now, my oldest boy Tom doesn't own a bike, but I promised him the chopper when I go on to heaven. He calls me quite often to see how I'm feeling-he must be checking on his inheritance. I just smile and laugh. But he always says he would rather have me than the bike. That's my boy.
