Our mate Tews has indeed gone over to the dark side. There's a late model retro Kawasaki 900 parked in his garage these days.
Pleased to have you back Chewy.

Thanks!  Need all the support I can get since I got dumped by my girl.  Now I am thinking of all the reasons why motorcycles are better than women.

Looks amazing!!!  I remember that one it’s a little on the dark side which means it will age nicely down there with all that sun.

Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out

To that same old place that you laughed about

Well, the names have all changed
Since you hung around
But those dreams have remained
And they've turned around

Who'd have thought they'd lead you
(Who'd have thought they'd lead you)
Back here where we need you?

Yeah, we tease him a lot
'Cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back
We always could spot a friend
Welcome back
And I smile when I think how you must have been

And I know what a scene
You were learnin' in
Was there somethin' that
Made you come back again?

And what could ever lead you

  It's good to hear that you are back.
I've been trying think of things that are better about bikes than women but I keep getting stuck:

 They have both dumped me on many occasions but I might of had something to do with it on both counts.

 Once either of them get their motor running it's hard to get off .

 They can both be hard to listen to when somethings not right.

 They are both beautiful with nice curves.......but not the cm 185 ,those are always ugly..... not as easy as it seems.
 But....
 When you've heard enough the bikes have a switch that will stop the noise.

 You can always wax your bike no problem...Try waxing your girl..... never mind, don't.

 Your bike doesn't care if you have other bikes................We may be getting on the right track now.

 When you take your bike out and you think it looks fine...it's not just a 4 letter word.

  When you take both of them to the convenience store for sustenance you know which one will complain...and which will have gas.....
               Maybe not.
 I'm drowning here guys someone help him out here.
                                    It's good to have you back Chewy.
