Big Boy

#71 Unread post by terry47147 »

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 surgery and Big Boy seems aware of my limitations. We are getting comfortable with each other. Big Boy has a stable mate--an '84 V45 that belongs to my best friend. All four of us are enjoying getting to know each other as we get reacquainted with the road.

I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Not really, it has the new C-ABS system attached, it can stop you pretty quickly. I have seen it in action.

Sure there is, look carefully. It's a 600RR special edition Ilse of Man. I get to ride it from time to time, very impressed. Real hot little number. Goes like hell.
