How's the recovery going? Back to work? Shopping for a new bike yet? Give us an update
I'm going stir crazy in my apartment lol
Can't speak to certain things per my attorney but the property damage just barely paid off the bike so I'll probably be looking to buy from scratch next summer[/QUOTE
Gotcha. Any idea what you're wanting for a next bike?
Probably another Honda, or Yamaha. Kinda want another cruiser but maybe something else. I like and I hate the Honda Fury at the same time. Unfortunately the newer Shadows only go up to 750cc. On the other hand, I'm interested in the Africa Twin too.
Sat on one at B&E in Valpo this spring and can say for sure the bars would be the first thing I'd change. Also how was the sound with stock pipes? I was gonna do drags on my Spirit with the baffles that screw out but never got around to it because it was a carbed bike and didn't feel like messing with that until it was almost time to put it up for the year.
I remember them feeling a bit "short". Like I wouldn't quite be able to sit back like you should on a cruiser. Maybe the Shadow Spirit spoiled me.
That sucks! Any damage? I dropped my RC51 once because I didn't get the kickstand locked down. It pinned me against the garage wall and I almost had to call 911 to get out!
I got work caught up, so time to ride came just this week.
Going through the prelims, I rolled the bike forward to move the valve stems appropriately.
Of course, I dropped the bike in the garage. Hopefully that gets the bike dropping out of the way for this year anyway. Top heavy bike gets dropped +/- once a year. More often in the gravel driveway.
Couple hundred miles in a couple days. Once I get on the bike, it's hard to get off...
