when you own a motorcycle the wife does not have to find you handy she just has to find you

and I forgot to say that is a sweet bike out of all the v twins I have ridden the only one I would ever consider riding consistently would be the shadow it is one fast well engineered bike great in a straight line or gentle curves is a little  difficult in tight turns at high speed tends to fight the cross steer but it would definately make my list of favorite bikes and of course there is the most important thing (it's a Honda)
