I got a Honda Shadow 750 as my first bike last year, which is what I still ride. I think it was/is a great first bike, and a year in and almost 10,000km under my belt is still a lot of fun. I'm not in the city so insurance isn't as much, but it still isn't cheap. For me I was $286/month for the...

Thanks bro! Need all this rain to stop!

Honda Shadow 750 and just finishing up my final block of in class training for the Refrigeration Mechanic's apprenticeship. Hope to write my c of q in the next few weeks!

I'm in Beamsville too! Got to ride to school (Mohawk Stoney Creek) today.

Welcome! Nice ride! Lots of great roads in our area. Ride safe!

We are looking for someone to join our heating, cooling and refrigeration team in the next little while. Apprenticeship position is opening up. G2 Gas license is a must, ODP card definitely an asset as is trade experience. Niagara area. If your interested shoot me a PM.

Beamsville here. I have a kind of crazy schedule but am hoping to make it to one of the more relaxed rides at some point. That is, if no one objects to riding with a 750 Shadow lol

Private Pilot... thanks I will give them a call! Private Pilot and Rob... all the ticket says on it is "disobey sign" and under the contrary to portion it says "HTA sec. 182(2)". I see no mention of points, and again, when I asked the officer about points he didn't answer. So I really have no...

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't really planning on trying to fight it as he got me fair and square. Would have been nice if it could have answered my question instead of walking away though. I did call around quite a bit (maybe not as much as I should have?) when I bought the bike, for some...

Got a ticket today, turned right somewhere I have turned right a bunch of times in the past, only forgot I was a little early thismorning (have a long drive to get there and traffic was MUCH lighter than normal) and there is a sign saying "no turn 7am-9am." Wasn't halfway around the corner...

This evening (Saturday the 20) on the 405/QEW coming from Queenston/Lewiston a girl riding a Shadow Phantom, had an American license plate and a bag on the back. Rode back and forth a bit through St. Catharines until I got off at Victoria in Vineland. Probably not on here, but nice bike!

Go by letter. The closer to the start of the alphabet the thicker the wall... eg type "L" is thicker than type "M" copper.

Cool! I do love Shadows. Sorry for the delay in pics but the weather has been so great lately that any "Spare" time I have is spent on the bike :D Here is my ride... a 2006 Shadow Spirit VT750DC Its pretty much stock aside from some cheap bags and a spitfire windshield. Can't say I love the...

Yup still a shadow spirit! A 2006. Just brought it home today! Loving it so far. I have pics but haven't uploaded them yet. Will get on that soon! I'm guessing you ride a shadow as well?

Thanks everyone... Looking forward to the motorcycle course at Niagara College this weekend! Had a bit of an issue with the bike end ended up buying a different shadow instead. Got all my gear now and looking forward to getting to riding!
