Picked up a shadow for 700 bucks. Its in solid shape, and runs perfect. not too shabby for the price. I'll use it for most of next year, and get my endorsement on it. Then I'll just keep it for a spare. Planning on purchasing a new Harley Davidson Night Rod, or a VTX 1800

It is alot of fun, its just on the small side. Please excuse the mess in my shed too. Its a old school honda, so I'm sure it will run forever and not give me problems. 50mpg will be nice too.

2.50 a day to drive to work:)

o yeah man I know what you mean on the good gas mileage! next summer I doubt I'll use the jeep unless I need it. Riding to work and back all week using maybe half a tank sounds good to me :D
