Hanging with Arlin Ness - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

I've been in San Francisco this week and yesterday took the Bart to see a friend in the East Bay area who drove me around to see the sights. We made a stop at the Arlin Ness showroom/factory and we were about the only customers there. The man himself was in the store and we stood around and talked bikes for a good 15-20 minutes. Very interesting person, really nice. Yes I do have pitures which I'll post as soon as I get back home to get them off my cell phone.

If you are ever in the area, check it out, the museum upstairs in something to see. Even saw an 1100 V-Star with the Ness treatent.

Here's the pic. That's me on the left and my friend Doug on the right. Doug is the person I was going to meet in Yellowstone. Before my ears became infected.
