I just bought my first bike too! - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

I'll have to agree 100% that buying your first bike has no other feeling I have experienced to date. Since I don't have my license yet (taking the class next month) I had to have some help from my friends with checking out a bike I was interested in. Yesterday they took it for a test ride and next thing I know I am getting a phone call at work telling me I am the new proud owner of a 2002 Shadow ACE 750. All it needs is some old fashion elbow grease to clean and wax it! I think I've attached the photo they sent me too.

thanks everyone, I plan on getting some better pics up once I actually get her home and washed up a bit. She's been sitting and riding around in some dusty areas without as much love and care as she should so there's a few layers on dirt on her but a little soap and water and a good coat of wax should bring her right back to her glory.
