The point is, if I ride a Shadow and havn't been laughed at yet, I wonder how I can be laughed at for riding a Triumph or a Sportster.



Don't know if I've ever been laughed AT for riding what I ride, I go through life pretty oblivious to that kind of stuff. I know I grin a lot while riding what I ride. Motorcycles have seem to gotten very specialized, big tourers, middle sized tourers, sport bikes, sport/tourer bikes, naked bikes, sport/adventurer bikes, cafe' racers. Thay all seem to sell. People used to tour on motorcycles that are used for a trip to the mini mart nowadays?

If you like the Shadow, ride the wheels off of it . I like the America because it reminds me of what a motorcycle is. But then the designers had people like me in mind when they put the pencil to paper .

We're all lurkers, some are just more vociferous!
