[@ronaldcoleman3119]

Hi Tim, I hope everything is well. Thank you for mentioning the article and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I share your dreams …….to continue riding to spend as much time with my loved ones, to grow as a human being and to accept my limitation‘s especially growing older. I hope the next 10 years are the best 10 years of your life I don’t know if I mentioned this to you, but that’s what my wife said to me recently. She said let’s make this next 10 years, the best 10 years of our lives.m. Very simple statement but it touched me and I just thought it was really a wow moment. Thanks again for making another meaningful video I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work and continue ride. Take it easy my friend and remember Go Bills!’

I really got the sense that you have worked hard, sacrificed a lot for your family (as it should be) and really got a chance to fulfill a dream of yours I wish you many happy rides on that dream bike. Please keep me posted on how it's going with the bike and of your adventures. I really appreciate your article and your outlook!!! Ride safe!!!

Pushing 72 and still riding my Shadow Aero almost daily and will continue until snow. Would still like to take a trip up to Maine to checkout fall foliage this season. Got to ride as long as I’m able. 🏍️😉

[@meandmyshadow7839]

That is awesome!!!! Love the fall foliage, though not the same in Texas.

[@rb196441]

I'll ride as long as possible. I'll be 70 in 10yrs hopefully still riding.

[@meandmyshadow7839]

I agree!!!! Ride on as long as we can.

[@rodkramer8879]

At almost 81 don't have many options. I know I won't be on a motorcycle. Next spring probably sell the bike I have now and as much as I hate to say it probably won't be getting another one. Old body says you have had enough.

[@meandmyshadow7839]

Have you considered three wheels, trike or can-am?

[@FYERFIGHTER]

God willing I'll be riding into my 80's. Love the message and comments proving it's possible. Ride safe bud!

Thank you for watching my friend

I have been riding behind my hubby for the last 8 years on a Honda Sabre 1100. But I always wanted my own. Decided to get one for my 55th birthday. I looked forever and ended up with a 2012 Honda Shadow 750 RS It had 977 miles on it when I got it. It had a trike kit on it that neither of the 2 previous owners liked so they rarely road it and got an actual trike MC shortly after and kept this one in the garage. Needless to say it Is in excellent condition and I can't wait to get the lowering kit in so I can learn to ride and hit the road. I used to own a scooter back in the day so I just got to get over the 'oh crap, this thing is bigger than me." Feeling so I can get comfortable on it. Ii think getting it where I can stand flat footed on it will help. You got any videos on pounters for starting out? I can't wait to be riding for a long time!

[@meandmyshadow7839]

Thanks for the comment, and welcome to the world of adventure. I do have a lot of videos on safety, slow speed maneuvers, lane positioning, highway riding, etc. I would also recommend taking some riding classes as we are never too old to learn or invest in our safety. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see on a video, and I will see what I can do. Thank you for watching and for the excellent comment. Always appreciated!!!

​@meandmyshadow7839 What about a video tips on starting off and stopping.( I heard you briefly mention in a video about not going to neutral but staying in first and standing in left leg instead of both feet at red lights stop signs (watched several so can't remember which one) I always thought it be more safe on two feet. Starting off and stopping I have had a lot of difficulty with. Even laid the bike over cause I was standing on my tiptoes and bike leaned to right and rolled my right ankle and bruised inside left shin. I got right back up picked it up with hubby's help and road off again. Also on turning say at a red-light or out of driveway. Mainly having trouble with these two things with the clutch

[@meandmyshadow7839]

I will definitely address this. It is a very important point that you are making. Stay tuned for more how-to ride videos

After looking around and sitting on a lot of bikes, I have come to realize that my "dream" bike is not a brand, but rather its a "style" a "look" a "feel"...challenge is finding a bike that fits those for me in one bike lol like the Dyna I had, it had the style and look I wanted, but not the feel, my shadow has the style, and look that the Dyna did, but has the feel I like but not the comfort I want for longer trips without changing the look by adding comfort modifications. My choices are now narrowed down to 99-2003 Yamaha road stars, 99-2005 Suzuki intruder/boulevard 1500, and 99-2005 Kawasaki Vulcan nomads or the Harley Dyna switchbacks

[@meandmyshadow7839]

All excellent choices. I would go back and try them again narrowing it down further by ratings and such. Gas mileage, dependability, aftermarket upgrade availability ect, ect.
