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
