Hello everyone!
I have wanted a motorcycle for most of my life and have come close to buying one at least three times. The first time was squashed by my mother when I was 19. The other times I just talked myself out of it. This time I followed through!
I took the MSF BRC the weekend of June 10th, 2005 and also found and purchased my used Shadow that same week. I have put over 500 miles on the Shadow already riding around and back and forth to work.
My handle is JDrestore because I have restored a 1952 John Deere model M tractor and have a 1946 John Deere B waiting to be restored.
I have already learned a bunch from reading the forums here. Thanks to everyone for being so helpful to us newbie riders!
