750 Shadow ACE For Sale

The wife and I have decided to let go of her Shadow.  It hasn't been ridden much since she got another bike and it's become a chore for me to ride it every month or so.  She calls the Shadow "Princess" and its certainly a pretty bike.  Princess runs great and has never given us any problems.   I recently switched to a smaller rear sprocket which seems to give the bike a nicer feel.  Bike is sentimental because it was my wife's first motorcycle.  We are asking $3K for it. Getting ready to post it on Craig's list with the following description and photos:

Black 2002 750 Honda Shadow ACE - American Classic Edition. 36k mi. Newer Memphis Shades quick-removable windshield and lowers. Phat risers, sissy bar, throttle lock, luggage rack, reusable air filter. Includes rear seat and engine guard (not pictured - both in near new condition). There are some light scratches which are visible when you look close, I think they can be buffed out. There is a paint chip (about 1/4" wide on upper right side of tank. Brakes and coolant service 2 years ago, last valve check at 22k. New quality chain and 38t sprocket set. Tires in good to great shape. Battery replaced late last year.  Ready to go.

Second Favorite Cat

After have three weekends on the road at the GLMC's Bonzai, BMWMOCM's Hiawatha Rally, and Pure Stodge Iowa Rally, I finally got to spend a weekend at home this past weekend.  I didn't get too much done, but I did have time to visit my second favorite cat, "Beemer" at Bak BMW here in Sioux City.  I'm one of the few people she will let pick her up.

I'm still trying to figure out the rest of my summer, but the GLMC's Barn Bike Enduro and family reunion is going to be on the schedule in July along with the Husker Rally and Baxter Open House/Campout in Marne Iowa in August.  Also contemplating trips Colorado and Red Lodge.

Saw this come through from BMW Newsletter.  I haven't watched the whole thing (I'm at work), but it looks pretty interesting.  I have always be fascinated by the BMW R90S, one of the quintessential and iconic motorcycles of the mid 1970's.
