My dad surprised me when I was 14 years old with a dirt bike. Hands down the best birthday I have ever had (almost 40 now).

My step dad did. I walked home from the school bus and there was a yz250 in my driveway.

I hope I’m able to bring my step son this kind of joy when he is older. He’s not quite old enough right now to want something this big though.

Great dad I am jealous. Never had such an expensive present all my life.

When you can, buy them now for yourself, and further down the line, be the person that buys them for children as you had no one around to

I was pretty blessed. My dad also worked his butt off to give us a good life.

It’s been a while. Funny you ask, I was recently looking at maybe buying one. I miss it. Being on the bike as a teenager was my happiest moments and one of the few times I wasn’t in my head with my mental stuff.

Untold hours of fun, exercise, coordination and strength building, adventure, fun. Fun is worth mentioning twice.

Did he turn it on inside the house?

No, it was still awesome though.
