One of the reasons why I have a bike now, is because of my two sons. One has a 2004 Ninja 250, which ran fine, and the other has a 77 CB550F, which needed some work. My family saw how much fun I had tinkering with the 550, they got me a 79 CB750L. It needed work (tinker time). So, I have my family to thank/blame for getting back into motorcycles after a LONG hiatus.
The most fun was my sons and I, riding around in formation, sharing a pretty day, and razzing each other about the differences in our machines.
