The best things in life are...

... Free.

I am now the owner of a Honda Shadow Spirit...

ONSSP's mom bought it new a few years ago and after crashing 2-up in Yellowstone (her ex's Goldwing) last year she has no desire to ride it... Instead of selling it, she gave it to us! Rode it home last night... felt pretty good...

Needs a bit of carb work though... I think a float is stuck or something because it spews gas like a motherfucker while running from the petcock area(didn't investitage too closely yet), idles like shit, and hesitates/sputters when you yank the throttle at speed. It had been sitting for about a year so I figure it just needs a good cleaning...

Pics as soon as I'm not lazy...

Here's a stock pic - looks exactly like this:
