ElBandido's 2006 Honda Shadow Aero

It's a 2006 Honda Shadow Aero 750.  While this is the first bike I've ever owned, I'm certain that it's my favorite.  I fell in love with the design of the bike when I saw it on the showroom floor, and then decided that I wanted to start riding motorcycles.  After day one of the MSF's road course, I went down to the dealer and bought it.

Since that day two and a half years ago, I've put almost 40,000 miles on it, and am on my 3rd set of white-walls.  Living in Southern California, the bike has seen the Pacific Northwest, the Gulf Coast, as well as the Atlantic Ocean--not to mention all the states in-between.

It's taken me a long time to put the bike together the way I wanted it, but I finally think I'm "done."  Of course, this is not the first time I've said "I'm done"--I said it before I ordered the Mustang seat, before I installed the Cobra Lightbar, and then again before I installed the Roadhouse Classic 2-into-1 exhaust.  I guess I should say, "I'm done--Unless something else cool comes out for the bike."
