Here's a feel-good post which I've stolen from the RC24/26 Facebook page. Poster George Cawdry shared this father-son VFR story and staged a perfect "now" photo….
"My Son has always given me a hard time knowing that I sold my old 1986 Honda VFR just a few years before he got into motorcycles himself, he always reminds me of my mistake by sending me a link to every 1986 Honda VFR that gets posted to Marketplace. This time when I looked at the link he shared I knew right away that this was the actual bike I bought in 1986 and sold back in 2013 — it was even the same guy I sold it to back then.
My Son decided then and there he was going to buy it back. Knowing he was set on the purchase my wife decided it would be way cooler if we bought it together as a Father & Son project and as a Birthday/Father’s Day gift (say it with me… Best Wife Ever!). We picked it up a few weeks ago and that is how we have our “then” photo of my son sitting on the bike 11+ years ago and again “now."
