The wife is buying a 1986 Honda Shadow 500 that belonged to her late uncle. Just over 9000 miles, looks and runs like new, $800 cash.  8)

Only a mile?  You could go electric.

$4+/gallon gas happened.

She grew up riding motorcycles on the farm, so she's got lots of miles under her ass. Before she went to nursing school and worked with head injury and rehab patients during her clinical rotations, it was always the plan that when I got mine she'd get one too. She's just finally returning to our original vision. And she's got just the cutest pink helmet.

That looks a lot like the '78 Kawasaki KZ650 my brother has sitting in his driveway that we keep debating whether it's worth the money to restore.

Yeah, I've got the same helmet in black and we've joked that we look like a couple of *goshdarn* Power Rangers cruising down the street.

So your wife can drive a manual transmission and a motorcyle.  That's hardcore.  Shutting up and going away now.  I'm such a *humid grotto*. 


Disclaimer:  I can drive a manual transmission car just have never driven a motorcycle and kind of afraid to try.

spacey, you need this helmet.  You can't wear an HJC full face on a cruiser like that.   :nono:

If you guys aren't wearing full face helmets, you're idiots.

This from a man who skateboards at 45 years of age.

Just looked and they run about $9000. For that I'd rather get one of these:
