About Me
I bought my black and chrome Shadow Aero in June 2007. It was MY first bike. First one I ever picked out for myself. I had ridden others...I learned on a Honda CB125S (which I still have, needs lots of restoring!) and made my first highway trip on a 1986 Honda 700 Interceptor (scary fast!). I picked out the Shadow after getting the fever right before my 49th birthday (yep, midlife crisis I'm sure!). It rained here in North Texas every day for 2 solid weeks...I was too scared to go pick my bike up from the dealership until the rain stopped.
I ride to work at least twice a week, usually more. I'm far from being a 1%er, but I try hard to stay on the bike. I ride in cold and hot (still not much on rain!).
I'm a semi-active member of the Patriot Guard Riders...for some reason my boss wants me at work 5 days a week. I still don't get it, but I do most of my missions on the weekends so I can still collect a paycheck.
I bought my bike so I could ride with friends, but I ride way more than they do!
My Blog Posts
I just wanted to thank all of my CC friends who posted kind words of encouragement, tips, and insight into my mechanical disability in installing a sissy bar all by myself!
I'm posting a new picture of my bike in its current state...it changes all the time (I'm still finding "my" look).
It took all of 30 minutes today - something I couldn't do in two hours on Sunday!
Ya'll are the best!
