It's been years but as a teenager I had a Honda XR200 dirt bike and could do all kinds of shite. Could walk it 100 yards on a wheelie so I imagine I could handle a motorcycle

Can’t believe how cheap these Honda shadow bikes are, 7k gets you a brand new bike, cheaper than a 4 wheeler

The first time I got on one, I fell off skinned my knee and burnt my leg. Since that got me over the fear of falling off the rest was easy. Just never hit the front brake without hitting the back brake while giving it power. Lol

I loved to ride, then my best friend cracked his skull and been afraid to get back on.

Saw that today, like $300



If you take the class and get your endorsement, most will deduct the cost of the class from the price of the bike you buy from them.

Apparently all you have to do is ride really fast and weave in and out of traffic. Along with disobeying all traffic laws remember a high rate of speed will make everything better. If that doesn't work, drive in the breakdown lane at a high rate of speed.

I used to occasionally ride friends' bikes and liked it. My roommate at LSU, a HS buddy, had a bike and tried talking me into getting one so we could ride. But before I had enough money saved to get one, he was killed on his bike at Joe Yenni and Chateau Blvd in Kenner. Since then, I haven't touched a bike.

RIP Jimmy.

Riding is easy.

Find a hobby and go for it.

Our hobby is camping. The Harley gets us there.

love motorcycles and wish I could get one...unfortunately they’re way too dangerous and even if I were a world class rider, it’s other people driving which worries me. Loss of life or limb is enough to keep me away.

It's their direct competitor to the Shadow.

I haven't driven one, but I would wager that the Harley will have more torque and top-end power.

I would test drive both to be sure if you're really interested.

If it was me, I would spend the extra $1,400 on the Iron 883 I posted earlier.
