I took the Honda Shadow 125 out for a run in the mountains today. MAN I forgot how much fun it is to ride over here. I rode up to the Turini Pass, passed a Maserati on a hair pin,¨"laces" as they're called here. I'm in the groove grinding pegs in a serious bout of canyon carving when I come up on a speed limit sign, checking the speedo I'm only 6 mph over, how cool is that. I did make 1 wrong turn and ended up taking this little dirt goat trail with a 1000 foot drop off (no shoulder) , dirt, mud and big rocks for about 20 miles and the little Honda took it all in stride. Then came the downhill staircase ride, let's just say this grin I'm sporting will have to be surgically removed. I got back and pulled into the garage then noticed the owner had a worried look on his face. What's up? I asked What is that, do I need new tires? No I said, the rubber always rolls up like that on the edges when you get the tires to operating temperature. LOL he hasn't seen the under side of his footpegs yet....or what's left of them. I think tomorrow I'll run back up to the pass in the opposite direction but I'll pass on the dirt road. Today I got pictures, tomorrow I play. |

Yes I plan to add a page depicting the days ride here, that would be the only day I forced mysef to stop and get pictures. I just finished a breakfast of fruits, croissants and 5 different cheeses chassed with good strong coffee ( hey, when in Rome...or Nice in this case) so I'm headed back in the mountains for one last hoora of unbridled ecstasy before I return home tomorrow.[redit][/redit] Edited by serp, Monday Sep 22 2008, 06:20 AM.

It sure did, I spent 4 days in England, 2 weeks in France and in another 48 hours I'll be asking myself if it was all a dream. Then I'll look at the pictures as a smile sneaks back onto my face and I'll know it was real. |

Here to make it easyier for the newer members to find: QUOTE FROM THE PAGE: September 2008 seamed like a good time to visit with Family in France. My sister's place is in the small town of Drap a little north of Nice on the Riviera. There in the garage was a Honda Shadow waiting for an adventure . After checking out this America Classic Edition I was skeptical. Here I had a 125cc 4-stoke that looked heavy, could I get around these mountain roads without having the throttle pinned the whole time. The first bit of good news was that I was not going to have to modify the shifter so with the bike ready it was time to ..................... CLICK LINK TO CONTINUE:  HERE !!

Well that sounded awesome! and the pictures were too! They made the whole thing very real for me as I read. Every now and then I like to think I've got some riding experience and can handle myself pretty well... until I meet somebody like you! A true biker. :HAPPYRIDER:   [redit][/redit]
