Absolutely - Big Ups!

[Ajay Chiba]

Well done to the Dad. I passed him twice yesterday on the N14 (Stopped at a watering hole and then passed him again). It was hot as hell and he just kept going at a pretty decent pace. His son looked like he had cerebral palsy and it looked to me like Dad was showing his son the 94.7 experience. Was so breathless that all i could tell "Dad" as passed him was "respect" to which he gratiously replied "Thanks"

I saw them when they came in. His son was proudly showing everybody that they passed his medal. That sort of gave me a lump in my throat. steynja2009-11-16 14:13:04

Same goes for AJ Venter and partner! Boys did the race in Motorcycle leathers and helmets for charity! Saw the dad too just after the N14! Big ups to all the charity riders!

[Reg Lizard]

This is lump in the throat stuff and what life is all about- caring for each other. Big thumbs up to this dad, I am sure his son will remember it for the rest of his life.

[Karl Beaton]

Hats off to this parent as he has now created a memory that will live on forever with his son ...

just wanna know for interest sake .... team hoyte use a seat on the front of the bike ... this must make the bike a real real mission to handle in terms of steering.

 

How difficult would it be to have a trike, with 2 wheels in front and one at the back ?

Ask the old ice cream vendors!

[Slowbee]

LOL gasping !

 

I was thinking about the images of team hoyte - that bike must be soooo hard to handle. In the wind of CT the last thing I would want is to fall. Maybe an "ice-cream" type design would be better.

Donno if this is the same dad. But this is what it's all about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHkejvzGD_s

 

 

 

A true inspiration.

[virgo]

No, not the same, but definitely inspiring.
