Great Father's Day present
#1
So I watched the MotoGP from Catalunya which was a great race. Then the phone rings. My son asks "what are you doing?" told him I had just watched the race, told him who the top 5 were, and he says "Want to go for a ride?" You bet!

Haven't got to ride with my son much lately. At 35, he's got a demanding job, a new house and a young family (he is Riley's dad) so we have mainly just gotten to take our yearly father son mc vacation the last couple years. No weekend rides.

So, I quickly threw on some gear and got the CB out and warmed it up. When B got here, we took off for a 76 mile curvy country roads ride. It was great! I love following my son through the curves. He is so smooth and he picks great lines. Like watching Valentino Rossi (in slow mo lol)

What a great Father's Day present ...thanks son!

No he owns 1 of each, an 04 Yamaha FZ-1 his traveling bike and an 09 Ducati Monster 696, his hooligan bike. I was actually surprised he showed up on the Yammie. I was expecting the Duc.

Happy Father's Day Ferret. I hope the weather was as nice as back east. 70's, low humidty and clear blue skies. An absolutely fantastic day to ride. Glad you were able to enjoy it with your son. Hard to beat.

Rocky..got that right!

Weather was great CB4ME!

Redbirds...best present a father could recieve!

Cormanus, the CB feels so light! Lol seriously the CB is just a joy to ride unencumbered by fairings and bags and trunks, shifting and clutching is effortless. What a fine,fine motorcycle.

I believe the Yam was a 'Sons Day' present fro the great rodent himself.

Wasn't Mickey talking about buying his son a CB too? Dodgy

My dad hasn't ever give. £1 towards my biking.. Undecided

Not fair.
