I cannot believe it, My old man finally purchased his first sportbike after 60 years? Dad just turned 60 and bought the same bike as me a 2005 CBR 1000. I informed him of my plans to move back to California from MI at the end of April and the next day he went out and purchased his CBR. Welcome to the club old man... Just kidding about the old man stuff, dont want to upset any of our seasond riders out there just a joke.

 

hes a squid

 

oh ya i see 3 problems with this statement. first, 1000cc, 60[][][][][][][][][]

 

I hope hes been riding for years? And congrats, bonding with parents is fun.

 

nice. my dad wouldnt swap to a sport bike from a cruiser..it would be awesome thouugh

 

Every time I visit my parents, I ask my dad if he wants to ride my bike, and he tells me no. Then he tells me to sell my bike and that he hates motorcycles.

 

Nope not a squid just thinks because he grew up racing in the 70's means the bikes he owns form the 70's are still the fastest. I am trying to find a scanner so I can upload some of his old racing pics. something about a man sporting pork chops and a helmet painted with sparklesthat looks like something out of the movie spaceballs makes me laugh.

 

Congrats! My Dad wont even ride the POS (HD) that he has now.
You two will have a blast.

 

congrats for your dad ! my dad can't stay off mine and my brothers bikes. sometimes i will come home and as soon as i get off my 929 he hops on it and goes around. when i had my f3's and f4i he would actually take them to work same with my brothers old r6. lol its a great way to bond with yoru dad trust me

 

That is tight. Help him get some new gear--he's gonna be amazed at the technical quality of protective apparel these days...wow, how exciting!

Man, that's the way I want to do it...punching half way to a hundred years old and bam...new bike. Sport rider till the end!
