Taking the motorcycle safety course this weekend and hopefully buying a bike too. Can't wait to start riding this summer

What kind of bike you getting?

Looking at a Honda Shadow

Those are nice,I always liked em, but they're kinda small..If youre over 6' tall, I'd pass and look at a softail deluxe



edit.

Shit, I just looked em both up...They both have the same seat height and wheelbase..Only difference is engine size, weight, and price....Parked next to each other, the Honda looks smaller, but it's not...carry on

Being my first bike trying get something a little more cost effective...I found a Shadow I like in the price range I am looking at...but still waiting on the guy to get back to me (deal was in place but the guy couldn't find the title at his house, so waiting for him to let me know when he has it). Was looking around today and found a Yamaha V-Star 650 for less than the shadow I was looking at. Right now its a toss up between the two, my wallet is telling me to go with the Yamaha.

The price difference between the Shadow and the Softail Deluxe is huge..If you dont mind having the 750 vs a 1600,Id go for the Shadow or even that Yamaha..I'm not familiar with the Yamaha, but I have owned Hondas in the past...They were always good bikes

I think after I get a little more experienced on a bike I will look at something nicer like a Harley or even a Shadow Phantom. But definitely getting geared up to start riding. You probably get similar weather as I do here (ours may be more humid) and as you know during the spring and fall it is great riding weather. Me and my buddy are planning some rides down to NC and a little north around Philly to go to a few famous restaurants and pig out on some good food.

Let me know...12 bones is close by..It's Obama's favorite place, and one of the few things I agree with him on..Best ribs I ever tasted and the pulled pork is excellent too

Ever have to clean the condenser coils under the fridge? Ten year old fridge stopped being cold rather suddenly and I found a very scary scene underneath. That was a spectacularly unpleasant job - I hope it works because I don't relish trying to find someone to repair it on a Sunday.

I disliked Omelet today and said "such a troll"
He disliked me back saying " dipshit"

I rarely dislike anyone, but that made me laugh so I may become a habitual ******

Raced my colon to work today. It was a photo finish but after inspecting my uniform it appears I won. Man that was close!

Some say Chicago is the best summer town in America,

Yeah OK, that's why Chicagoans are still flocking to Florida in mid-May.
