Well about 3 years ago I gave my 03 America to my daughter & son-in-law. He wanted a crotch rocket & I didn't want him riding my daughter on it so I told him he could have it since I went to the dark side & bought a new 2011 Harley Ultra Limited. Well I missed my Trumpet everyday. Don't get me wrong the Limited is an awesome touring bike. On Christmas Eve my daughter & son-in-law asked me to stop by to help them with something. When I walked into the garage there was my trumpet with a big bow & card that said Merry Christmas to our Dad. Well, I am not ashamed to say I broke down a little. What an awesome gift for this old man!!!!!!  
Young enough to care-less & old enough to know-better. Sooo how do you like me now!!! Whaaaat!!

Awesome bro. Good to see folks able to be so thoughtful .
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
