As most of you know I just got into Motorcycle rider a year or so ago, haven't rode since I was a teenager, over 20 years, so my first bike was/is a Honda Shadow 750... it's been great fun, a great learning bike, and it's named after my retired police dog. Shadow:




But now, I already found my next motorcycle, obviously made just for "The Magnum":

I still love the look of that bike you've got. That thing has attitude.
This new one...sound system? 21" rim the biggest on the road? A cuphoolder maybe?
Kinda sounds like a Caddy Escalade on dubs of the bike world.

Speaking of Vehicles, I watched Getaway last night on HBO. The entire movie is basically a Shelby Mustang evading everyone on the streets. IIRC the Shelby was one of your dream cars.

Interesting, I have a friend, he likes bikes.
Uses the Shadow for short trips;



Painted the bike, I think.
It's an older one, but it keeps on ticken.
He also uses it a lot, when his Harley is in the shop....lol....

About the same weight and handling as if, for sure.

You've been spoilt by that 675 of yours Colonel (do you still have it?).

All the big Jap cruisers I've ridden do indeed handle like,and have the turning circle of the QE2 biggrin

Hey Chuck, have you looked at the new Indians that are out ?

From I what have heard, Indian motorcycles went into receivership and Polaris industries the maker
of the Victory bought them.

I drive a Honda Odyssey and the wife drives a Toyota Avalon. No real preference for American made in my
world. The American made cars I have owned have always nickled and dimed me to death.

Always liked the look of the Indian though if I were to get into biking. Then again, Ducatti, Now that is
a real motorcycle. thumbsup
