I got a new motorcycle...
 

It's a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero VT750. It's like sitting in a lounge chair, and the Vance and Hines pipes sound freakin awesome.
I've had one bike or another since I was about 8 years old, and put them away when I had my daughter. I switched to four wheelers. :)
I got rid of my four wheeler a couple years ago when I moved to town and haven't had a ride ever since.
It's way past due, even if I won't get to ride her a whole lot.
Here she is...

Congrats on the bike.:banger She's gorgeous.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

I had a 2005 Aero the same color as yours in '05. Any questions about it don't hrsitate to PM me on it. 100% good purchase. I should have kept mine and turned it into a bar hopper. In the Aero line I like the "R" model the best. Retro rocks!

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Congrats Scott! Take some time to enjoy your new toy! :)

Stuff those saddle bags with cigars and it will be perfect.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Nice ride! Come on out to California and let Ratters and myself show you some amazing roads. :D

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Shes a beaut! Congrats.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Awesome, Scott! :tu

Enjoy her, be safe!

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Nice wheels Scott. I have a 2001 Roadstar and I don't ride it much, and I have thought about selling it. It is paid for and aint costing me a dime sitting out there in my shed, and when I want to I can get on it and ride anytime.:tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Great bike!!! That gets 2 :tu :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Great looking ride! My dad has always had a good luck with Honda bikes.

Have fun and be safe!

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Nice :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

I'm not having much Honda reliability so far. On the way home the speedo broke and now she left me stranded in town, won't run at all. :D
She's on the trailer and headed for the shop in the morning.
I just want her back to go riding this weekend!!! :)

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Scott, this is where I used to hang out at.

This forum is to the Aero as what CA is to cigars. There are some extremely friendly and very knowledgeable people there.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Thanks Mike!!!
Already checking it out. :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Hello Moto

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Very nice Scott. :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Very nice looking motorcycle.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

What they don't know about the Aero there isn't worth knowing. They have more info, specs, discount codes, etc for parts. You will see some sharp looking Aeros there. I would love to see the Aero in a 1500ccc to 1800cc motor. I'd be all over it.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Beautiful Bike, Scott!:banger Enjoy Her & Be Careful Out There; A Lot Of "Crazies" On The Road!:tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Nice, she looks sweet! Ride safely! :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Pretty bike, brother....and ride safe, indeed!

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Beauty, looks a little like an Injun.
Keep the rubber side down.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Sweet bike!

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

I took my sweet baby to the Honda shop and dropped her off.
Hopefully they'll get to it quick and I can get back out on her. I'd like to go riding with Lisa this weekend. She's had a Honda Shadow 500 for about ten years, and now she wants my bike. She's due for a new one, so I suppose we'll have to start looking. :)

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Having a hobby that the wife can participate in and also enjoy is a big time bonus! :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

True dat. Imagine how cool it'll be to enjoy it with my girlfriend, I might even get lucky!!! :wo

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Don't set your goals too high now. ;):r

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Scott, I guess your health problems are easing enough to ride.That is the best news :)

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

So far, so good, my brother. I'm not so sure how I'll hold up on long trips, but we've found a recipe of pills that keep me pretty much straightened out muscle-wise.
It's super comfortable and doesn't bother my back at all, but I haven't been on it for more than 20 minutes yet. We'll know soon enough. If it doesn't work out, I can trade it for cigars. :d

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

That is good to hear brother :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

More good news...
Ron at the Honda shop called. He fixed my speedo and a problem with my lights.
He chased the ignition problem, and that one is gonna cost me. It was the ignition module. He said in all the years he's done this, he's never seen one go bad, nor has he ever ordered one.
The whole ordeal will probably cost around 500 bucks. That's pretty cheap to put my mind to rest. :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

I got a call yesterday, my bike is all fixed. Only $611.09 give or take a few cents.
I'm going to need to raise a few extra bucks, so I've become a prostitute. So far, not much luck. I'm keeping a positive attitude, though!!! :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

:r You'd make an ugly prostitute my friend. Well, maybe you're just not my type is all. :r

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Nice bike! I've never driven a motorcycle before, and now with 2 little ones, I can't risk leaving them without a dad.

Sure it is. Honda Davidson. lol.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Congrats Scotty

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Dude... since your speedo is fixed you should be wearing that when you are out pimpin'. Maybe you will get some hits... :tu

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Scott,
That is sweet looking.
Congrats and enjoy in good health.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

Sorry Dude, when it's your time - it's your time. Not riding a scoot is will not matter. The car will go over an embankment, the high coloesterol will get you, or a bolt falling off an airplane from 33,000 feet will get ya in the head. Everything in life is/can be dangerous, even kite flying. Might as well enjoy doing the things that make life happy. I'd rather eat a tree at 80 mph on the scoot tomorrow than be 79, laying in a bed drooling down my chin and wondering what my name is.

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

That'll get you beat up in some places.:D

Re: I got a new motorcycle...
 

I got my bike back yesterday. Drove it to the top of the hill, speedo went out again.
So I got Ron to pull the wiring schematics and we started chasing wires.
The culprit was a pair of bare wires touching the license plate from the backside.
Someone must have had one of those goober blinky plates on it at one time and did a half ass job of cutting and capping the wires.
Sooooo...
Lisa and I rode up to Medix, had lunch, and came back through Piper and Karthaus and I showed her the white birch forest.
It was a gorgeous ride, and we had a blast. :tu
