An Old Friend

The other day I was browsing Craigslist as I'm prone to do. Most of the time I'm really not looking for anything, it's just a habit. I came upon an advert for a 2008 Honda Shadow Aero 750 that promised a picture. Clicking on the link, a beautiful Aero appeared that looked very familiar, like an old friend. I studied the picture, a black and white Aero with red pin stripes, sissy bar and rear rack, Cortech saddle bags, and Kuryakyn grips. It looked something like this.

So far so good but something wasn't right. It was that Memphis Shades windshield, I don't remember that.

I contacted the seller with no intent to make a purchase, something else I'm prone to do. I said the bike looked very much like my old bike, the one I traded in when I bought the NT700. “Did you at the windshield after the purchase?” I asked. 

The next day I received a reply form someone named Crystal. Yes, she did get the bike at Bangor Motor Sports where she learned it had previously been owned by someone who worked at the University of Maine. The Memphis Shades windshield was her acquisition. 

If you’re looking for a midsize cruiser, there is one available in Bangor, Maine at a reasonable price. I can vouch for it being a good bike, at least for the first half of it’s life.
