Shadow

This is my 1985 Honda Shadow 500cc. She was my college graduation gift from myself in the summer of 1993 - back when I did not know how to ride. My buddy, Jimmy, taught me while sitting right behind me! Not the recommended way for beginners but it worked for me. She's fun to ride on nice, sunny days - but don't forget to wear your leathers and a helmet!

 

A very comfortable ride!  On the road again in 2001.

Progress Report:

April 2001: The Shadow isn't under "restoration" but will have a couple of things done. A new clutch and tune up is in order for the new season. Maybe Jimmy & I will add those old (but new) saddle bags one day...

May 9, 2003: New forks (used but nice).
