Riding Adventures with the New Bike
Introduction
Motorcycles can be more than just a means of transportation; they can be a source of joy and adventure. This story revolves around a father and son who share a special bond over a motorcycle, which has become the father’s favorite vehicle.
The Purchase Journey
In January 2024, during exam season, a call from my dad brought exciting news—his new motorcycle was ready for pickup. My dad couldn’t go himself as he had a busy schedule, so my mom and I headed to BigWing to collect it.
Even though I had an exam the next day, I couldn’t resist the opportunity for a quick ride with my dad that night. It was a memorable experience, and from that day on, the motorcycle became the ride of choice for my dad, whether he was running errands or enjoying long highway trips.

Seeing my dad enjoy riding so much is heartwarming. It’s a reminder that it’s never too late to embrace something new and exciting, and I’m glad he found joy in it.
