Default New Bike

I was made an offer I couldn't refuse from a good friend. He wanted to pass on his 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 for quite a bit below blue book. The bike has 5700 miles. It came with lots of accessories, saddle bags, sissy bar, windscreen, and a few helmets/ jackets. My wife liked it after our test drive and the deal was done. It got 55 mpg riding 2 up. Here are a few pics. For those with a keen eye, I have a Kawi, Yamaha, and Honda mc in the garage...

Nice bike, My father in law was looking for a cruiser and we went to one dealer and he wanted to take a used yamaha for a ride and the salesman asked me if i wanted to go and to pick a bike... twist my arm... so i picked this... shadow phantom

Nice bike.
Well my FIL settled on a suzuki c50t, here it is next to my KLR.
I can ride the C50 when i want he said, i have taken it a few times. Nice bike.

Thanks guys. I came up with a saying a few weeks back when I told a few friends I was considering getting the 750, people kept asking if I was going to get rid of the KLX. It was "bikes are like shoes, you need need, dress shoes, running shoes, work boots..." Women can relate, if you need some help convincing yours. You'd probably have to say heels, pumps, flats, or whatever though.
