I was deprived as a child. My cheapskate parents, when they finally got around to buying me a bicycle, got a used one for $10 that I had to share with my twin brother!

Harry

When I was 8 or so my dad showed up with a trunkfull of bicycle parts, telling me that if I needed a bike so badly then we needed to put one together. And I got a cheap little tool kit to go with it.

It was many years later when I finally realized the scoundred had bought a used bike, taken it apart, tossed in a bunch of extra parts from the bike shop, loaded up the trunk and driven home.

Now that's clever! Have you still got that tool kit?
 
Does anybody remember these? Available at your friendly BMW dealership circa 2000. I bought this one in 2001 for grandson Noah's 1st birthday.

What a great life lesson. Sort of the give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish thing. Instead of just expecting someone to just give you whatever you want, with a little bit of smarts and effort you can make what you want. I know that you've used that mechanical ability that was sparked from that moment MANY more times through out your life. I like you dad. Mine was the same way and it has served me very well.:thumb

Bought one around 2005 for a granddaughter...was a hit for sure:thumb
 
Oh gosh, would I love an electric GS. Small and light with premium suspension.

Active 2WD would be a real plus! :thumb
