GhostFlame,i tell you what. I have been fooling with hotrods for years,and just started messing with bikes. I am on the flip side of your disappointment. Of the hundreds of races i have ran,not one did my Pops ever attend. And when I put my Cafe together with the low handlebars and dual headlights my Pops only remark was "it looks like a water buffalo". I am 32 years old and have been working for my dad full time since I graduated in 1998,and worked for him full time in the summers out of school since i was 9 years old. Never a compliment,or any interest,concerning any project I have ever undertook. Heck,my bike was painted for over a month before he even noticed it! Yes,it can really knock the wind out of your sails.I agree. BUT,it sounds like you son has his heart in the right place,especially considering his choice of going into the Ministry. You cant win them all bud,but at least you can have the peace of mind that he has the most important things in life under control!

Good luck with your tribute bike,I think it is a fantastic idea. I'd almost bet that once you get it all together that your son will agree you built a cool bike! Build it and prove him wrong!LOL

Chin up!
