Quick story time!
So for his whole life, my dad has been in love with motorcycles. He used to build and ride customs regularly. After many soft tails and bobbers, he settled into an 89 harley tour glide. Fast forward a few years, money got tight and he ended up selling the bike.
Being that motorcycles were such a big part of his life, selling what he thought was his last bike crushed him.
Now fast forward a few MORE years to this spring. I pick up my xs1100. Now my dad never really liked yamaha bikes, but he LOVES mine. After helping me do work on the bike, and riding it a little bit, he fell in love with yamaha.
Knowing this, i started browsing the always helpful Craigslist. I found him an almost new VSTAR classic. We went to look at it and he fell in love. Needless to say, i have a new riding buddy; my dad and his vstar.
We are going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon, then going for his first ride in 6 years.
Tl;dr got dad a vstar. Dad is excited. Picking up and riding tomorrow afternoon.
