The Shadow, and I'm expecting a little bit of disagreement here, is a little small for displacement. I looked at that and the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic and I ended up buying the Kawasaki. I loved owning the Vulcan, all I did was put gas in it and change the oil, outside of winterization, and...

I was working with Allen. I called yesterday late afternoon and they were able to accommodate me to move the bike today. They were very flexible and accommodating. Top notch service. If you are moving a bike they are a definite must.

Sturgis Bike Week is coming to an end and I wonder if anyone here has ever gone? I know there is also a large bike week in Daytona. I did Friday the 13th this year (Port Dover) and it was interesting enough to think about trying a larger event down in the States. If you have gone to either or...

I contacted ATC Corral to do an oil change on my Vulcan 900 since I've been busy. They came and picked up the bike on a trailer for me, did the oil change and dropped it off a couple hours later. They were really easy to deal with and accommodating to pick up and drop off. Nelson is the name of...

Looks like it was a nice trip. Some really nice pictures.

Thanks. Looks like an interesting little run.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

I'm working out some more long distance runs and was thinking about taking a week to head out East towards Halifax as an end point. Has anyone headed out that way? I figure stopping in a couple of places in New Brunswick, PEI and probably coming back through Maine.

My second year with my 900 and I was having a crazy work day on the job site. I ended up getting home, grabbing my gear and going out for the night. Single handedly the best ride I had all season. It wasn't the longest ride but it was the one that relaxed me the most. Reminding me why I love...

.......what the f*** to that shot out window

With my full face on I doubt he could tell but I had already stopped for a coffee. It would be an interesting "drive thru" concept. Place your order and run under a bridge as it's thrown down to you.

So I was heading north on the DVP and on the bridge that runs east-west over top had two boys leaning over the railing with one dangling a rectangular object. His partner pointed down and as I got closer they launched their object. 3 pieces of fried chicken, fries and the container came flying...

Is this group still getting together to ride?

The bike is good and reliable I'm not concerned there. I've been inundated since I started riding "longer" distances I should have a buddy as a just in case. Thanks to all who posted for the info.

I ride a '13 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic and it is comfortable for the longer rides I do. My days recently if I'm free will be around 400+ km round trip. I haven't made any changes to the bike outside of a backrest for the wife when she comes with me and a small roll bag with the purpose of take...
