I have a black/red/silver '85 1100 shadow, a platinum/gold '02 vstar 1100 classic...and my wife has a black/metallic gold '83 750 shadow and a black/blue metallic ghost flame '95 1100 shadow ACE. All 4 are fully dressed - custom seats, windshield, saddle bags, floorboards, etc.

If the sun is out - we are both usually travelin' on two wheels.

We're gettin' ready to sell both the '83 750 shadow and the '85 1100 shadows. They don't get ridden much anymore since we bought the other two early in the spring last year and I don't have enough room in my shop to do anything. I'll probably let them both go cheap just to get 'em out of my way.

I bought my '02 vstar 1100 classic from a local Yamaha dealer that was going out of business and bought her '95 1100 shadow ACE from a guy on craigslist. Got a super good deal on both of them..considering they were both low mileage bikes with lots of extra goodies, and both were in excellent shape.

I'm probably gonna put my Luv up for sale again this summer too - but the jury is still out on that. I just hate to see it go. I got a lot of man hours and money invested in it. And last year when I tried to sell it...too many guys wanted to trade me some old junk motorcycle, or quad, or some other crap I don't need sittin' around in my way and too little cash for it. I had a lot of guys that all liked it and wanted it - but nobody seemed to be able to scrape up enough cash to close the deal. So until someone does...it'll stay locked up in my shop. And the local PD will just have to put up with me takin' it out and raisin' a little hell on the local streets now and then...lol

I had a 1997 Suzuki DR350 that was unfortunately stolen a couple of months ago. When I have the money and the space I'd like to build a rigid XS650.

Have a 2001 Ural Tourist with a 2004 750cc engine. I can do a whopping 65 mph going downhill with the wind at my back! This is an old pic as I now have a windshield on both the bike and the hack. If you've only been on two wheel bikes and never ridden a bike with a hack (sidecar), you are in for one huge surprise in the different driving styles needed.

Did you really mean 2001? It looks more like a 1971. Or is it a retro thing?

Yep, 2001. The Ural is still being manufactured today. Check out the IMZ-URAL site.
I carry cargo straps which can double as seatbelts. Besides, how bad can you be riding a bike with a training wheel? :lol:
