This is a story about how my brother and I stole our father's 1969 Norton Commando, had it restored and then gave it back to him for Christmas. He had no idea.

    A mate posted this on our bike forum here in the UK, thought it was going to be some boring crap..but that was a classic video, well done to the pair of you...my dad gave me a 1993 Triumph Thunderbird as my first road bike when I was 19, and to do something like this for him would be awesome.

    Great work guys, your Dad must be very proud of you, and your mum.

    I love, love, love this! I've already shared it with 4 motorcycle friends. We watched it at home, and at the end there was not a dry eye in the house. Everyone fantasizes about doing this for a parent, but you guys did it. Kudos! I agree, it must be on YouTube. Also, classicbikeexperience should have done it for free for all the great, free publicity they have gotten!

    Hey guys,

    vimeo.com/11285536

    When my dad was young (early 60s) he rode a Zündapp Scooter but sold it. When I was restoring my old Vespa, I found an add of a scooter like he rod. Unfortunately in bits and pieces. So...I bought, within four months (and with the help of my brothers & sisters) we brought it back to life, on the street & gave it do my dad as a present for his 72nd birthday.

    Different cast - but the same story. Unfortunately: my video is much less professional as yours :)

    - the expression on my dad´s face is the same. Especially, when realising that this is no joke - and he can ride 'his' scooter (from the time of his youth) again.

    Well done, brothers!

    Hey Jeff! It's Mike from LensProToGo, I'm browsing Reddit and watching this video and I'm like wow, that guy looks really familiar. What a cool project & seriously touching video. What a fantastic gift. I'd love to do the same thing for my dad, he had a '69 Plymouth Road Runner, with the same sentimental attachment. 75k views today and counting. Gotta love the internet. Keep up the good work!
