I bought a new bike tonight (‘12 Honda Shadow Phantom), but that was the least interesting part of the trip. They guy selling it runs a shop where he restores, modifies, and maintaining classic Japanese, German & Italian motorcycles, an in his free time restores classic Saabs. The whole place was full of amazing bikes and cars and generally cool stuff. When the ‘41 Indian motorcycle is the least interesting vehicle in view you know you are somewhere cool.

Pictures when I go pick up the bike.

I’m mildly curious how someone with a bunch of unique classic bikes ends up with a Shadow.

Had it offered to him it cheap by someone who was injured at work and wouldn’t be able to ride again. Cleaned it up, replaced worn parts and attempted to flip it. got it done just in time for the weather to get cold and ended up unloading it to me for pretty much what he had into it.

He was honest about it all.
