88 Yamaha YZ125
85 Honda Shadow 500
2003 Honda Shadow 750 ACE
2004 Yamaha Roadstar Midnight Silverado

Each of these has been an excellent bike in their own rights. Had the 85 Shadow the longest. I am most happy with my Roadie though. Nicest piece of equipment I've ever owned. Have many friends on HDs, but all have paid many complements to my Roadie. As for Yami vs HD...bought my Roadie to be un-HD. Can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting a Harley, but the Roadies are a lot fewer and farther between!

It's not "what" you ride, it's "that" you ride.

Honda Super Cub 50cc
Ducati Monza Jr 160 cc
BSA A65 Lightning 650 cc
Honda Shadow 1100 cc
RoadStar Silverado 1600 cc

Doc

Did you mean 1100, or did you have some mods done to the motor?

It was a 'special' one I had the factory make just for me.

Slow brain, fast fingers.
