Hey Guys...Post your bike pics HERE!
2003 Harley-Davidson V-Rod VRSCA 100th Anniversary.
Been a while since anyone posted in this thread. Figured it needed a bump...
2012 Honda Shadow Spirit 750
Nice Shadow! Did it replace the Kymco scooter you posted earlier in this thread?
Yeah, I have been riding motorcycles since 1958. I got old and with 5 bulging disc in my back I got to where I could not throw my leg over a motorcycle. I wanted to keep riding so I got a step through scooter.
Well two years of hard exercise I got the back in decent shape and can ride motorcycles again so got the Honda Shadow. I really like this bike. Liquid cooled, fuel injected and shaft drive.

Good on you for getting back on a bike
Determination and exercise can do wonderful things!

The '72 was the fastest year, the '73 was a tad slower....the '74 and later models were choked down with so many EPA restrictions that they were considerably slower than the first two year models....but yeah, generally speaking, the 750 triples were wicked fast...a high school buddy of mine had a '73 and he used to let me take it out during school...that bike would wheelie like a dirt bike in all 5 gears!

Me too...and I put velocity stacks and chambers on mine too...there wasn't a 750 (other than the H2) I couldn't beat...in fact, my neighbor at the time had a '74 Z-1 900 (stock) and my H1 would stay right next to him until we hit about 110, then he would start to pull away...

My new 2012 Wing
new to me 2006 Honda Shadow Aero 750; @ 4250 miles when I took delivery; came with U.S. Saddlebag Company detachable saddlebags & auxiliary driving lights; needs some work in the spring to get it to run better & replace auxiliary driving light switch; nice power curve and comfortable to boot!

kmrcstintn, your image links are not working. I think they may only be visible to people who are your friends on FB.
Added a sissy bar, crash bars, and a Memphis Shades slim windshield.
