Default Bad Back wanna ride again

Well as the number portion of my age increases so does the fact that if I want to ride again it will be with a more upright seating position I cant do the liter bikes anymore..So we are looking at new bikes , not spending a ton of cash .looked at a boulevard C50 the other day..May buy it...Getting old sucks fellas enjoy the riding now..

Also looking to get my oldest son a dirt bike . I am not too familiar with them any thoughts as to one brand over another ? He is 12 but he is also like 5'5 140 lbs lol ( we build em big) i was thinking a 125 ...Any other thoughts ?

Thanks all

Sean

I work at Barneys Brandon now... We have a bunch of cruisers in and I can get you a good deal. We have some used ones in. You are friends with Widlak right? If so, come in and I will hook it up.

If you want something sporty yet still comfortable looking into a Tuono. 1st gens can be had for cheap.

i hope you do know that if you do have a herniated/bulging disc, no matter what kind of bike youre gonna ride, it will hurt (depending on the severity)

now if youre really an old fart with spinal stenosis, then you should be fine
