Congrats Mark, yeppers, grandkids are fun....but then again I had fun with my kids too.

Where did the time go?  I'm only 35 and I have grandkids.... Some sort of rift in the time space continuum.

Congratulations Mark !! Grand kids are a lot of fun. Soak it up while you can. Every drop of it :). They grow up way to fast. My granddaughter will be graduating high school this year and to this day every time I see her I still want to pick her up and hold her in my arms. And my wife still talks to her like she is 6 years old:). Hug them and love them it's your job to give them memories.

Congrats Mark, you did a great job

Seems to me that there are a LOT of grandpa on this list.
What does that say about FJs and who they attract?

Probably that only those "experienced" know what's good are attracted :-)

Congrats Mark from one Pop to another.
Thing is, I found my riding style went from Middle Aged Try Hard to Grand Fatherly cruiser without me even thinking about it when my first Grandchild was born.
And when I do think about it, I make extra sure I stay rubber side down.

Be Good

Mark,

Did you and your daughter discuss how to offset your new grand daughters carbon footprint?  If she didn't take that into account when deciding to have another child that is a very irresponsible thing to do.  Sigh..yet another life brought into this world to damage the planet and no plan to save the earth..


wait.. WTF am I saying??

Congrats on your new grand daughter!  I hope she grows up to appreciate motorcycles, fast cars, and love of life all of us have.   :good2:

Thanks all for the well wishes , I have enjoyed the first grandchild very much as my wife and I had the privilege of babysitting just one day a week on sundays . I had to wait in line to play with her.

Now since having grandkids I have maybe slowed down a click or two on my riding ..  :rofl2:

The speed demon gene is alive and well in my kids , so I know the grandkids will most likely have it too.

I am going to teach the 2yr old to polish aluminum next weekend.  :crazy:

Then a nice bbq. with grandpa.
