yes he does. right now he's looking at going with a cruiser. He doesnt like the foot position of the sport bikes, and he wants something that him and my mother can both enjoy.

he's actually looking at a Goldwing, and he's thinking about doing the lemans trike conversion to it. Right now we are tring to get my younger brother to take the MSF course so he can eventually get a bike. (1st rule of our household is that no one can ride untill they go through the MSF course.)

Tell your folks the Goldwing is a great choice. The wife and I take at least one trip a year on the bike. It's a fantastic way to travel. Here are a few pics from the wife's point of view:

Greetings folks, a new member and a new rider here as well. Xao, I'm also in Jacksonville. In fact, my wife and I moved down here in July for my job. Your new bike looks smooth!

I've lurked CBRF for some months now picking up valueable information along the way. I bought a 2004 CBR 600RR about three months ago, and I'll be taking a MSF course Wednesday. The bike has app. 5,000 miles on it, and I picked it up for $5,500. Here are some pictures from the day it was delivered. I got a new tire yesterday, the Metzer M3. Wow, what a difference the new tire makes.

And OldFatGuy, if I might add, your wife has some great photog skills snapping motion shots like that. Very nice photos.

Nice looking bike, Kramer2k! Welcome aboard.

...and as for the wife's photo skills, let's just say they are random!

Her theory is that if you take hundreds and hundreds of pics a day, a few are bound to turn out.
