I got out of work early, called the wife, she said she was at the motorcycle shop.
I met her there, she had already picked out the bike and was having the bike detailed for delivery. I was there for like 15min before I even knew what it was....
2007 Honda Shadow Aero 750
Jet Black with Red pinstripes. Man is it sweet.
It's turning heads everywhere, kids and adults alike.
Ok, here's the helmet. HJC, lockable shield, DOT AND Snell approved. $135/ea. Worth the money right? Absolutely. One for each of us.

Just in time it sounds like.
Hey, he's a good guy. That is, as long as he is funding the bike, I'm ok with it[;)]
p.s. Nice bike.
Be safe and stay out of the old peoples blind spot.
I just about got took out by an old man today. I guess I was riding in his blind spot because he merged over and would have shoved me onto the sidewalk if I wasn't watching him.
Enjoy living while you can !!
Good decision !!

cubs, you know i like you so i will always be the down to earth straight forward guy to ya, like a pop would.
if this is your first bike, looks dont mean squat. how well you can ride it, will.
and im glad you got helmets, but dont be lured into thinking the magic helmet will save your limbs or torso....over even worse, your hands pinned under the bars as you slide down the road. get some heavy duty leather gloves.
i hope other old bikers will back me up on this....dont go endangering your sweetheart by running out to the roads so you can look good on your bike. learn to ride it first, then learn to ride 2 on board slowly.
as more and more bikes come to the roads, odds are everyones so busy looking good, that no one really notices anymore. theres too many. when bikes were rare, they turned heads. when bikes were hand made, they turned heads. bikers use to wave to each other and give 'the power sign.' you have a production bike. its a bike. just a bike. no better or worse than anyone elses. just have fun on it and dont worry what others think. parading usually leads to stupid distractions and next thing you know, youre down. pay attention and live to tell the tale of your ride. and if you think biking is the same family of old, try waving to a fellow biker and see what you get. count how many times you get a return wave. odds are it will be a low count because theyre afraid to let go of the bars.[:X]
wax it, polish it, take care of it, and youll have it years from now. have good memories, not bad ones.[^]
and think of me when you change your first flat. you best have diapers on or your seat will get wet when it first starts to wobble at cruise speed! and your honey will rethink riding too![;)]

Good advice, both you and your wife take a course, Around here they cost $100 and when you are done you get your license automatically.
And remember one thing do not assume any other vehicle can see you. Because no matter who's fault it is, The bike always looses. Ride on the defensive.
I am not trying to bring you down, just being real.
Have Fun and Be Safe
Listen to what Bobski suggested..................Be safe and congratulations.
The late great "Hap" Hathaway...
Greenville Ohio was one of final sites in the running for a new Japanese auto plant... Well one day a whole carload of Japanese came to town for negotiations and to visit the possible site.
Well as fate would have it they got their butt's lost and pulled into "Haps" Service Station. Hap a kindly old WWII vet walked out and waited on them personally..
"You Fellers lost" he said.
"Yes", they said, "we are looking for the for the new industrail park".
Old Hap says, "industrial Park heh... You SOB's didn't have any trouble finding Pearl Harbor in that great big ocean I reckon you ************ can find an Industrial park in this little town without any help from me"
A great welcome ,if I do say so myself.....
..bobski, that Kaw triple brings back some memories, good and bad. Nothing in the world sounds like one of those wound up tight. On the other hand, a high school bud from the '70s will forever have the mental ability of a ten year old, from laying one down without a brain bucket.

I think we should get Tori a T shirt with something like this on the back:
"If you can read this, He fell off"[}:)][:D]

Invest in a back rest for your wife. Its a safety thing to prevent the chance of her falling off the bike. You can get the quick detach hardware so you can pop it off and on as need be. It does prevent a lot of injuries and allows her to relax while riding and not have to hold on quite so hard.
Ride safe and often!
Thanks to everyone for their advice. It shows that you care, not that you are trying to get me down.
I'll be back with a riding update later. I need to mow, then I'm taking the bike across town to work.
a power stroke every 120 deg. raw power.

Those triples were/are awsome bikes. Nothing quite like them!!
750 is a little small.
Well, if you feel like shelling out some money. I be more than happy to get a bigger bike. [;)]
Get her a back rest!!!! She'll reward you with sex![;)]
Danny,
Do you think cubs will fall off? I have a feeling he is the one who will be on the back[}:)][:D][:D]
Don
back rests make your girl not have to work so hard for the ride. teach her to hold on tighter and save the bucks.
and too, backrests tend to trap the passenger in a crash by not allowing her to fall off the back. pinned legs in wheels are usually the result. my cousin almost lost her leg to a sissy bar. its marred bad to a point that she wont wear shorts ever again, and its been 40 years.

Cubs will have to change his name now, to some biker name, like Lone Wolf or somthin. [8D]
Just as long as he doesn't become one of those longhair , tatoo wearing, bearded, overweight, leather wearing, bikers.. [:0]
