Lowman Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's a 600 vlx Shadow. I'm pretty much a rookie, so I wanted to start small. I had it up to 80 on my way home yesterday, so it cruises right along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowman Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have been shopping for a bike for a few months. There are some good deals out there right now. The best deals are in Seattle, but I bought this locally. One owner bike, never been in the rain or laid down. I got all the service records for it and a screaming deal to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobkat330 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 ya but its only a 600 and that is a locale cruzer. you will not be happy with it if you want to go on any long rides not like a 1100 or bigger bike. It will be up on the site for sale in about 4-7 month but at least it a bike when you lay it down it wount hurt the packet book to much to fix un like the harley. A all riders do lay down a bike it just a mader of time. Sorry to say that but its true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonH Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah, when I was down in CA, I rode a '99 Wide Glide - loved that bike. I almost put it down making a slow turn the second or third time I took it out. But once I got the hang of it, no problem - and bikes don't come too much heavier than that (and I'm not a big guy at ~165lbs). I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it, but figured I wouldn't get much use in the rainy Northwest - and I needed a new car and couldn't afford two payments. Congrats on the new bike - have fun!

pnkrcklives Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thats my shadow and my truck. The shadow was sold to help fund the truck build. Then I will build a new bike afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
