Okay. Three and a half and you get a motorcycle? Three and a half. Why are you still here? Indian 20. Indian 20. I was three and a half and then two weeks later I had him take off the training wheels. As you see in my face in all those pictures.
My dad. My dad. My dad, who doesn't ride motorcycles anymore and was never very good. He fell at one point and really fucked up his ankle. And, yeah. But I rode my whole life. I raced. dirt bikes. I got my eighties and I got, and that that's where I was spoiled. My dad always got me a motorcycle. So I had probably five different motorcycles.
Well, then when I was 19, then I got into the kind of Harley thing. And then, and then from 19 on. So however many of that years, that is 19 to 56. I ride with a group of guys now and we go 1200 mile poles and We go to chopper shows and stuff like that. I have a 1937 knucklehead, 1968 shovelhead, 1956 panhead, 1947 knucklehead.
We're breaking down because we're vintage motorcycles. Yes. So you have to ride with people who can fix them. I'm not good. Like admittedly not good. I wish I was better, but I ride Steven, you know, there's several people that we ride with that, you know, you'll see a transmission on a sidewalk.
I have full transmission and we'll fix it.
And over for you just to ride 50 feet for the shot.
When you see Hells Angels or Mongols now, and they're all on nice bikes. They're all on new bikes. I mean, there's guys, true motorcyclists that I know, That have super nice bikes that look at us and say, I could never do what you do because it's too exposing. It's too, it's just, yeah. I mean, you break down, there's no front brake. There's sometimes not a back brake.
You know, if you're going downhill.
But that's why I think even now, and my older kids can attest to this, I have a 36-year-old, a 31-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 3-year-old. And my older kids, my son's a great artist, and there's a lot of electrical towers. And you go, oh, I know that's because he was in the back of the car looking out the window. We stayed in motels. We stayed in that. And I do the same thing now.
I make it as uncomfortable— As I can, we don't, this, I have an absolute like fear of living in nothing but comfort. Sorry for them, but it's just how it is. Yeah. There's something, like I said, there's something substantial about the vintage Harley Davidson's where it's, I, I wrote about it in the book. They said, write about motorcycles. So impossible to write about motorcycles.
And I wrote and I wrote and I wrote and I kept crossing shit out. And finally I said, I can't do it. And the minute I said, I can't do it, I started riding. And then there was some connection with my mother and being in the back of the car with my mother and then riding motorcycles. Now in those connections and riding through a swarm of bees and all that, you go, that's the deal.
The discomfort is the deal.
If you have some resilience, I have a massive worry about a lack of resilience, even with my kids. But I look at my three-year-old. My three-year-old's literally the toughest person I know, my girl. She's just, you can see it in her face. You're like, oh, you're 100% Brolin. You're going to be okay. We just got to keep you from going crazy. But there's this, again, it's character.
It's all the stuff that's colorful and lively that I embrace.
He has one, yeah. Oh, we're not together.
No, I just saw you playing footsies underneath the table, and I thought there's something going on. They often just trade shoes underneath the table. So you each have three-year-olds. Yeah.
Two boys. Wow.
It's great though.
Even the irritation is great. I mean, there's a thing right now where they're both going through like a... Like, when you get mad, it would be great if you lived in a different house. And I'm not even getting mad. I'm just like, please don't do that. And they're like, can you live in a different house? And I'm like, fuck you, man.
I looked at my three-year-old at one point and I said, is there nothing about me that intimidates you? And they just stared. You know what I mean? But there's something.
