XS650 Enthusiast
Well, over the years I have held out the hope that if everything went as I dreamed that someday I would pass the old XS650 along to my son. That day is rapidly approaching. Spoke with the ex this morning and we agreed that the little cafe racer I built for him two years ago is just too small for him. He is in his last year of high school and seems to be doing exceptionally well in his studies for a change (maybe I should have sent him to live with his mother long ago)...so I guess in a couple of weeks I will deliver the old war horse to him as a surprise early grad present. It has almost always treated me well over the past 33 years and I have made piles and piles of great memories on it, so although I will be sad to see it go, it will still be in the family...I hope he enjoys it as much as I have and who knows, maybe he'll keep it long enough to pass it along to one of his kids???
