    Welcome back to life dude !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Welcome to the mad house. Enjoy your time with your son and may you have many happy rides together.

    The other half has suggested a FXR150 for your lad, and for you, well do you exactly mean by cruiser?
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here. QWQ

    Welcome to KB

    I can highly recommend the Suzuki Intruder or Boulevard range, Yamaha XVS range and the Kwaka VN series - some lovely cruisers out there.

    Of course then theres your Harleys as well but you pay for the name - would have one myself if I was a bit richer
