As another 70 year old rider i can identify with your Dad, hope he recovers and keeps his nerve, after a get off myself when a woman failed to give way it took me some real sole searching to get back on a bike. Props to him for riding that thing, that is a young man’s bike, when you get older little things like that kick stand just slip your mind to check.
Remember they don't make people like your pops anymore treasure him like a piece of gold until Jesus makes his rounds you never know when that time comes.. God Bless!
Amazing, he's ok.... thanks be to god!! such a freak thing. I lost my dad 3 years ago. I miss him tremendously and don't think I'll ever feel whole again. your father is a man of steel for a 70 year old to wreck in that way!!
Sending prayers to your dad hope he's going to be okay. I lost my brother on virtually the same motorcycle in 1985 he hit a guardrail and it ripped him open from his crotch to his throat. I still have that cursed old bike covered up in the back of my shop. Try to save that old chopper if you can. These are awesome Hondas. Be blessed in your travels.
Hell of a bike to ride at 70 y/o. I'm 73 rode since 1966, got hit by a truck in 2000, broke my back. Was back on 2 whells after a 6 month layup in 2 piece body cast. Just this year I gave up on the big bikes and now ride an 883. Still scares me. The HD as you may know have ride off sidestand to eliminate this type of scenario. My 883 broke a sidestand spring and I thought the tranny was blown, but thanks to HDs ride off stand I was saved and rode home using a bungee chord. Your dads decision not to put screws in his neck is IMO the best option. I healed naturally w/o operation.
Glad your Dad is gonna be OK. I've ridden through your area many times out of KY. In 2012, I flipped my Toyota and got five fractures in my C2 and C6. Got a helicopter ride to Vandy from BGKY and got the halo for 12 weeks. Vandy told me that the C2 is the fracture that is most responsible for paralyzing people. He had the Good Lord looking after him that day. Prayers up and God Bless y'all.
Really pleased that your Dad survived this mishap, he is the same age as myself and probably enjoys his rides out as much as I do. Wishing him a speedy recovery and get back on that horse and ride.
Good to hear your dad is Ok boss and hope he heals up 100 percent ... Cherish him everyday like you do , spend as much time as you can with him while hes here , huge hole in my heart when mine passed ... God Bless
Thank God your dad is ok and I absolutely love choppers so I can understand your dad's love of choppers. I hope you can bring his bike back to life again.
So sorry for your dad. I’ll be praying for him, you, and the rest of your family because one family member is hurting, all the family hurts. God bless him.
man, I had the exact same look for my 750 back in the 70s stationed in the military back in the day. pull back bars, hard tail, king queen seat brown paint, but with a lace over spray. I'm 72 now, and I still ride my 05 ultraclassic. Just not as often. Hoping your dad to a nice recovery. We old birds are tough.
I am truly glad to see that your dad is OK. Beautiful bike definitely would love to see it back on the road. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayer sent, hope he has a good recovery, i have 40 plus years of riding and I'm in the process of converting to a trike due to my health, make sure your dad follows the physical therapy to a T. My C3 thru C7 are fused and plated, so I know all too well about his neck injury. Hopefully, you will be able to get the bike back on the road. You should see about converting it into a 3 wheeler. it would look pretty cool.
It is good that your dad made it. I am 76 and we older riders don't bounce as good as we did 50 years ago. The bike looks pretty good from where I am (😎), minor stuff like handle bars, fender, sissy bar, clutch perch are expendable. The gas tank may be salvageable, you won't know about the trans until you pull the shifter cover off and look inside. Honda built good engine/transmissions, pretty tough. Since the forks aren't mangled and the engine is intact I suspect the only frame damage is to the left rear, that doesn't look bad. Have someone hold the bike up straight with the front wheel straight and sight from the rear wheel forward, if the wheels are still aligned then that would be a good indication that the frame is alright. I wouldn't consider totalling it before checking it out good. I am west of Nashville, a neighbor talks of fishing at the dam, I may have to check the maps and ride over there. You take care, glad your dad will recover.
We will be shooting a laser down the frame and taking measurements to verify the condition of the frame. The road to the dam is one to certainly check out. Thanks.
Glad he's ok. Accidents like this are huge reminders to everyone at the amount of mental poise that is required for motorcycling. Something so simple can be deadly just that quick. Once these kinds of mistakes start creeping in might be time to rethink riding.
At 68, I can only imagine what your Dad is going through. Kick stands have been the cause of many terrible accidents. In high school I remember 2 guys on a Harley together left a bar and forgot to put up the stand. After shortly reaching highway speed the driver attempted to lean left, caught the stand and it shot them across the rd. into a guardrail. Both guys died instantly. So sad of a mistake. Best of luck to your Dad! Always check your stand.
Horrible experience,I'm glad your dad came out of that on the good side. I think we have all forgotten to raise the kickstand at least once in our riding career. God bless you all. Thank you for the video s.
@@butlercustoms no thanks needed sir, I sincerely feel for any biker downed, we love our bikes but we love our relatives more, and been in a couple of cuffules myself, broke two bones in my back after a cager rammed me some years back, still walking and still riding thanks to who ever had my back, thoughts are with you all
I'm 76 and still riding, but you don't heal as quickly at your Father's and my age. God bless your Dad, and I pray he heals quickly. Based on what I see of the bike, I think the bike frame and "Kickstand" will be okay.
So sorry to hear. I did that in 1986. Thought I was being cool and pulled a wheelie away from the bike shop and the bang when it came down on the side stand was not good. I got so lucky that it was a short stand and was only a heart stopper. In the UK we have compulsory crash helmet law. A riding buddy broke his neck wearing a crash helmet but after a year he had mostly recovered. Wishing you all the best and thanks for posting.
Sorry to hear the sad word , hopefully the bike can be fixed , Glad ya pappy lived thru it , i wish Him a speedy recoveryThoughts & Prayers for Him . I rember my dad in his 70's wanting & gettin a bike , He never rode it but a time or two , Thank God !! but here i am 66 still riding , made a round today.
Choppers are not like your normal motorcycle, nor do they handle and behave in the same manner on the road. I've had a couple of hardtail choppers in my 63 years on this planet, 49 of them riding motorcycles on the road. In fact, my second motorcycle was a hardtail BSA engined custom chopper that I bought myself for my 16th birthday. Kickstart only, and a bike that was "piloted", rather than ridden. Not sure what the rake was, but it was a looong springer fork up front with a 21" wheel, and a 16" back in the rear. Right foot gear change, left foot old style shoebrake only. No brake up front. A lot of "anticipatin'" had to be done to pilot that thing. It was a pig to ride, uncomfortable and safety was not high on the order of things when it was built. I learnt to tighten a lot of bolts and fasteners before taking her out, one "learning" experience was one night riding down the road and having the complete exhaust system fall off. Headers to the non-baffled mufflers. She was still running, looking spectacular with blue flames shooting out the front of the engine. I turned around to go see if I could salvage the situation, only to see an eighteen wheeler flatten the pipes. As I said, a learning experience. But I loved her, and still miss her nearly half a century later. Still ride, Harley's for the last 35 years. Hope your Dad makes a full recovery, I wish both of you peace and healing, prayer is a powerful thing, I know for a fact God hears our prayers.🙏👍🇭🇲
Sorry to hear. Glad he is ok. I just finished fixing up my moms 06 sportster so we could both go on rides together. She did drop it and also she crashed it into he own truck pulling into my driveway. She is 63 and small so i worry for her.
I'm praying for your dad and your family! My parents were in a bad accident several years ago and it was a tough process to get through. I pray for complete healing and total recovery, mentally and physically!
Sorry about your dad. Of course it could have been much worse. You're right about the Honda single cam 750, it's music. I hope he gets well soon and can make it out yet this year. Good luck!
Great your dads ok but when that bike fired up it was shouting out loud that it was a live also and a sweet sound of it when ticking over I do hope you get the Honda roadworthy like you say your dad may not ride it again but needs to be brought back for the next motorcycling generation all the best to your dad and a speedy recovery as for you your a biker I am sure you and your friends with some head scratching and of course cash will enjoy the rebuild hope to see the results happy riding
I did the same thing on my uncles CB750. Left the pump and tried leaning left. The bike said nope, we're gonna go through this flower bed and across the sidewalk and into a lane of traffic. I didn't wreck thank God. Glad your Pops is ok. As we know, bikes can be replaced Pops can't.
Hi, I’m glad your Dad is ok. He’s very lucky he wasn’t hurt worse. I think the Bike is worth saving. There’s really not much damage to it, compared to what it went through. You might be able to find a Trike Kit you could fit this too. That way he still has his Honda, but will be a little safer. 👍👍
Good video, just goes to show the importance of a side stand switch on more modern machinery, sorry to hear about your dads problems, hope he gets well soon!!
It may be more work but you could disassemble the forks and check the run out on the stantions I’ve used my wheel balancer to do this but even a flat surface would work. The lower legs are pretty stout usually salvageable. Good to see your dad came out of this fairly well sending prayers for a solid recovery
Thank you for the prayers for my father. I have a dial indicator and a laser that we will be using to verify the fork tubes and we will be putting a laser on the frame as well once we get it on a lift this winter for a total frame-off rebuild. Thanks again.
Glad to hear your dad is relatively OK. That's a great looking bike. I don't know what the laws are over there but could you trike the chop if you are stripping and rebuilding it anyway? If the bike has sentimental value it would be a way to keep it alive and do away with the kickstand. You may find that if you slacken all the yoke (triple tree?) bolts you may be able to cure any misalignment of the front end. I have built a few trikes over the years (I'm in the UK) and enjoyed riding them. Good luck and I hope your dad heals well, us old guys don't bounce like we used to.
That's a sketchy scenario. I've done that before, but realized luckily I had the kickstand down. Newer bikes have that safety thing. Glad he's alright. The bikes can be replaced or fixed. Dad can't. I send my regards
Padre Glad You Daddy Made it . What You Described . A Bull Rider wouldnt Fair so Good . Time to Junk that kick stand . Praying For Your Daddy . Padre .
Glad ya dads gunna be ok. But seriously mate I can not believe you havn't thought of Honda 750 chopper trike! That is what must happen bro. I have a nakeded Honda VFR750F that sounds pretty sweet.
@RandomRants525 he does love it the way it’s set up. He will probably buy a newer Harley trike for the comfort but keep this for the adventure. Thanks.
@@butlercustoms Cool! So have you checked out the straightness of the important stuff and got the gears working yet? It Was like I did some weird time travelling telekinesis to you when you pulled the clutch in with the vise grips. I was telling you to do it because you were changing it anyway. Then ya did it. I'm in the process of getting my Honda going again(I'm not filming it because it is really giving me a hard time and I don't want people Time Travel Telekinesising at me. And looking stupid in front of my tens of viewers is not good either.) but also have an 03 KTM525EXC that I've owned since new that I'm riding as much as I can. Got some footage on my channel if ya interested. Have fun bro.

He was so excited that he forgot all about it. But the trike will be a great investment for him.

Those are great motors.

Hi, I’m glad your Dad is ok. He’s very lucky he wasn’t hurt worse. I think the Bike is worth saving. There’s really not much damage to it, compared to what it went through. You might be able to find a Trike Kit you could fit this too. That way he still has his Honda, but will be a little safer. 👍👍
Great idea and thank you for the well wishes. Let’s just hope the frame is okay.
Glad to hear your Dad is going to be OK. Maybe a trike conversion kit for that bike?
Think he’s wanting a full trike. Thanks for the well wishes.
Good video, just goes to show the importance of a side stand switch on more modern machinery, sorry to hear about your dads problems, hope he gets well soon!!
Thank you for your well wishes. We will certainly be adding some type of safety to it.
It may be more work but you could disassemble the forks and check the run out on the stantions I’ve used my wheel balancer to do this but even a flat surface would work. The lower legs are pretty stout usually salvageable. Good to see your dad came out of this fairly well sending prayers for a solid recovery
Thank you for the prayers for my father. I have a dial indicator and a laser that we will be using to verify the fork tubes and we will be putting a laser on the frame as well once we get it on a lift this winter for a total frame-off rebuild. Thanks again.
Tell your dad to get well soon and we hope his recovery is as painless as possible.
Thank you!
Glad to hear your dad is relatively OK. That's a great looking bike. I don't know what the laws are over there but could you trike the chop if you are stripping and rebuilding it anyway? If the bike has sentimental value it would be a way to keep it alive and do away with the kickstand. You may find that if you slacken all the yoke (triple tree?) bolts you may be able to cure any misalignment of the front end. I have built a few trikes over the years (I'm in the UK) and enjoyed riding them. Good luck and I hope your dad heals well, us old guys don't bounce like we used to.
Thank you for the well wishes. He’s going to be buying a Harley trike soon. And he may keep this one to cruise around town on.
Sounds like a really serious head injury. Hope he gets better soon.
It was scary there for a moment but he has now regained all his memory.
I'm glad your dad is relatively okay! That rear tire is bald !
It looks a lot worse in the video because we had to drag it across gravel. Thanks for the well wishes.
Isn’t that 5” inch Rake? My 1975 Honda GoldWing has been wanting one! Condolence to your dad on his motorcycle accident.
I’m not sure of the rake on the frame. Never put my angle tool on it. But it’s got a sportster front end on it.
That's a sketchy scenario. I've done that before, but realized luckily I had the kickstand down. Newer bikes have that safety thing.
Glad he's alright. The bikes can be replaced or fixed. Dad can't. I send my regards
Thank you for your well wishes.
Padre Glad You Daddy Made it . What You Described . A Bull Rider wouldnt Fair so Good . Time to Junk that kick stand . Praying For Your Daddy . Padre .
That’s true. Thanks.
@@butlercustoms
That Bike can be save . The Fun is getting ready to start . That tank also . Thank God it was not worse ! 👍✝️
@@Lucky..B amen to that! Thanks.
Glad ya dads gunna be ok. But seriously mate I can not believe you havn't thought of Honda 750 chopper trike! That is what must happen bro. I have a nakeded Honda VFR750F that sounds pretty sweet.
I’m not sure if he’d want to trike this one out. But he will be shopping for a trike as his next bike.
@@butlercustoms But I thought he loved that bike. It would be unique. And sound freaking awesome. But I'm sure you'll be happy either way.
@RandomRants525 he does love it the way it’s set up. He will probably buy a newer Harley trike for the comfort but keep this for the adventure. Thanks.
@@butlercustoms Cool! So have you checked out the straightness of the important stuff and got the gears working yet? It Was like I did some weird time travelling telekinesis to you when you pulled the clutch in with the vise grips. I was telling you to do it because you were changing it anyway. Then ya did it. I'm in the process of getting my Honda going again(I'm not filming it because it is really giving me a hard time and I don't want people Time Travel Telekinesising at me. And looking stupid in front of my tens of viewers is not good either.) but also have an 03 KTM525EXC that I've owned since new that I'm riding as much as I can. Got some footage on my channel if ya interested. Have fun bro.
I’ll check your channel out! Thanks
good to hear that its not worse
Me too. Thanks.
Hope he's doing well. Will he ride again. Tell him great looking bike I'm a fan of custom in-line fours.
Thank you for the well wishes. I talked to him yesterday and he’s excited to get back on it.
Who's the president? Wow, that is a loaded question.
@@grandmajosephine383 🤣 bad time to be asking that question. I’d be confused too. Ha
