Please allow me to introduce myself...........

Not much wealth but I do have taste. I'm a man once again on a bike. Although I was born and raised in Brooklyn New York, I've resided here in Florida for the past 20 years. Started riding at about age 19 lots of different bikes, however my first new bike was a 440 Kawasaki (heck I don't remember the year, guess I'm just loosing my memory with age). Back in 1983 reading a magazine I fell in love with the 750 Honda Shadow, Two years latter I had my affordable dream machine the 700cc 1985 Shadow. Now remember I said I have taste, well I meet the woman of my dreams in 1991, had two great kids and sold the Bike, a beautiful Dodge Conversion Van, Volkswagen camper and a tow truck and became the responsible mini van dad and faithful husband. Jumping ahead a few years the kids are now teens and it's time for the wife and I to start doing for us. I jumped on an old 1983 750 Shadow and that's all it took. The Shadow is now boxed as I'm going to rebuild it and the sweet wife said I deserve a new bike. With that said now I'm on a Honda 2007 VTX Retro, and lovin it. Back in 85 I said I purchased my affordable dream machine, well my ultimate dream machine is the Honda Goldwing and that my new friends will be mine in a few years. With that said, I'm pleased to meet you!!!!!!!!!!! My name is Howard and my wife's is Cindy-Lou.
