It's a classic and holds it's own during the test of time.

Over 1,000 miles in half a month!

First off, thanks for the great comments. I believe Honda specs say that I should expect about 5 mice per gallon... :P The V45 is the Magna, which we're still having two troubles with. One, the carbs need cleaning bad, and two, the horns are shot. We found some cheap horns that work directly off the ...

Insulation in the air breather...

I decided to polish the bike today and as I was finishing I decided to take a look at the air filter, since I'm not sure what maintenance has been done. What surprised me was finding a mouse nest in the air breather housing. I knew this bike had been setting in a barn/garage for sometime, but I wasn ...

Big Boy

http://i44.tinypic.com/260tn5k.jpg

Big Boy is my 3rd bike. He's a 2000 Shadow VLX 600. His pappy was a '77 HD Sportster 1000, and his grand-pappy was a '72 Yamaha 250 Enduro. I got him on the 12th of June, this year, and have already put almost 1,000 miles on him. In April I had open heart ...

Great Ride!

Well, my bud's both had other stuff to do today, so I decided to take a ride by myself. I hadn't taken the VLX out on the freeway yet, so I planned a trip that would include some superslab time. I decided on a campground that is about 65 miles from home. It is a private campground with a swimming ...

I used to have a HD Sportster ('77 1000cc). This time around I got a 2000 Honda Shadow VLX 600 and I feel much more comfortable on it. Besides, I love its looks, and the looks I get on it. I recently had heart surgery and I wanted a bike that I could handle and, after only a week, I have fell in ...
