So they had no intention of staying then Pete ? Your son sounds like a right wimp, I have a similar situation with my eldest. I haven't seen my granddaughters for nearly two years now so I really sympathise which your situation.
It's worse for you and your wife though as you've had that glimmer of joy and now it looks like the fat cow will snatch it away
I love the look of them, they remind me of the original XT500 . Me and my boss are looking for a cheap one to hot rod, we're looking at a way to get rid of all the plastic junk and have a few other ideas.
