Default Especially for Hayward
Well, Hayward, as promised a better view of my bikes. When my son accompanies me (we have a 2 week trip together every year) he will only ride the Kawasaki (1400 GTR) which is the grey one. He says the Honda (ST 1300) is an old man's bike! Here we are lost in Tourcoing, France. (Bet that reminds you of a song eh Jim?)

Your son is a cheeky devil calling yours an old man's bike! But what a great thing that you both go on tour every year together. Bet you both can't wait until the next trip!

Believe me Nicky, calling him a cheeky devil is being polite. We are planning to do Route 66 next year, but then it has been on the agenda for the last 3 years but not happened. If not then it will definitely be Portugal. We have a great time, and he will carry the memories for ever as I do of my experiences with my Dad. God bless. PAUL

Thank you moi. Yeah, the GTR in black was my first choice, but I would have had to wait another 8 weeks and I couldn't. Just like a big kid, I wanted it NOW. PAUL
