She's only 14 years old, has 25k miles. She's a Honda Shadow VT600C. She set me back 900 bucks, which feels like a steal given how pretty she is.

I picked up a nice leather First Gear jacket, some nice gloves, and some kevlar-lined jeans. Spring's a-comin'!

Rhonda is beautiful!
My baby is my truck. Black Dodge Ram 2500.

That's too funny Slim! :rofl:

:gj: Nice & clean for $900. I'd say you made off like a bandit ;)

How's she run?

lmao Slim. I am a fan of Japanese engineering, and American is a little too rich for my blood (or my wallet's blood - wait... what?) at this juncture, so it's a Honda. Besides, the Japanese are our friends now :rofl:

Storms, she's pretty solid. I have a battery problem, I think, and I desperately need to get that old gas out of her tank, but otherwise she's straight.

Thanks everyone! I am only barely not-chicken enough to ride at all. I take it real easy out there. If you see someone in full leathers, mid-summer for a 2 minute ride up the street going exactly the speed limit and using their turn signals, it might be me. Be nice :please: :)

Mrowl! That's a sexy beast. If you decide to drive, please be safe, but enjoy yourself. I can't wait to get a motorcycle license...or a real license for that matter too. ^_^

I actually like Hondas of most kinds. Boyfriend drives a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe.

nice wheels so I get all the reptiles when some non driver thinks your a speed bump. I wish I was ableto ride one but then again I be just as dead on that doing 100+ as I would in my truck when I smacked the tree trynig to avoid the snaek in the road.9 i aim for the deer cause I can at least it...

Morphie, if you haven't taken a MSF riders course, I highly encourage it. I took one earlier this year, and it was very informative. Well worth the money, and you get a break on your insurance in many states.

Melicious, if you decide to go for it, I can't recommend the MSF highly enough. 200 bucks seems like a lot, but the education you get is completely worth it (also your fatal crash probability drops considerably when you get trained by the course as compared to someone you know who rides, according to the stats).

It's tons of fun, and I love it, even as cautious and wussy a driver as I am.

Edit to add: (slim I just saw your post - the MSF is how I got my license. I agree with you wholeheartedly on its advantages and well-worth-it-ness)

+1 and they also take 3 points of your license if you have them.
