Default 5 is it! No more! I swear!

Well, unless I find a good deal on a motard! LOL

A friend of mine had this Shadow that was taking up space. He hasn't ridden it in 3 years and didn't want it anymore. He offered it to me for practically nothing, so I *had* to take it. Sometimes, deal pop up that you can't say no to.

It's a 2003 Honda Shadow 750 ACE with 12,000 miles. Obviously, since it has sat for 3 years, it needs a battery, oil change, coolant flush, new fuel, carbs cleaned, and a tune-up.

I may not get to it until I come back from Alaska, but once I get after it, I'll have it polished up and ready to go in a day.

I'm running out of room in the garage. This is it this time. Really!

Wait...what month is it? It's too late for April Fool's.

Seriously?

That's kinda cool. Though I'd respect you more if it were a Star.

Oh, and PS. "...just one more."

I did a couple if thousand miles on one of those over a week back in 07, if was a solid bike, did everything I threw at it, and without any problems. Except for a broken speedo cable and a radiator shroud that fell off. But the bike was an older one and had a ton of miles

Nice find Trace. You know how I know you're getting older?
