    STUPID ME thought it would be a good idea to buy a bike for the missus.

    She already had a 250cc licence so I got her a Honda Shadow 750cc and she rode it around on 'L' plates.

    However she dropped it one day practising an emergency stop and lost the interest (I think she lost the interest before I even bought it.)

    Don't be alarmed, the bike was fine and we sold it for near on what we paid for it.

    My mate bought himself a brand new fatboy the same time I bought the Boulevard. He then bought a second Harley a few months later (sports one I think), didn't like the way it rattled so traded the sports bike in on another fatboy (or something like that), lost a packet on changeover price. I've ridden both his bikes and wouldn't swap mine.

    He took mine for a spin and he was damn impressed with the power (wouldn't admit it though.) He's a name brand guy... Some have money, some don't.

    Here is the shadow...
