Must be so cool to share this passion with your kids.

It's a blessing and a curse.  A blessing because it's something you can share, but it's a curse because it leads to never ending worry.  Used to be that I was always looking in my rearview mirrors to make sure he made it through the curves with no problem.  Now I am always looking ahead and hoping that he will wait for me, or worrying that I am holding him up.  :)

Wow, very good words Pat. But let me assure you, it's also a curse when riding with siblings (I've done so with 3 of my 6). That looking in the mirrors thing is so right on, and the worst part is the time I looked in the mirrors and the brother wasn't there. Stomach in throat, yes he crashed. But the adventures continued.

Some great stuff posted here... I remember the many days when Teresa used to ride on the back of my CB900F. We would go up to Delphos to visit Grandma. At a stop her helmet would clunk into mine. I knew she had again fallen asleep. ❤️ I loved those rides and the time we spent together. She is now 40, married and living in San Francisco. I look fondly on those days gone... enjoy your time! ❤️

For those wondering, no it wasn't me :)

Most of the people I ride/travel with regularly are as close to me as my brothers, I'd do anything for them.

Like slowing down to check out the car you're passing, or leaving your turn signal on for miles?  Or did you have cigars and Keystone Light in mind?  ;-)
