Just some photos

OK, I thought I would post some photos here of the my Honda Shadow 1100. Its a C3 Aero - 98 model, and for my money is the best model that Honda made as all other years seem to have had the speedo mounted in the tank (Harley style), but the 98 has a big clock in the headlight. It is also longer and lower than predecessors, and has a real retro style to it.

The story goes that they based the 98 on a Ariel, in that the asked one of the original Ariel designers to come up with the concept models - I can't verify if this is true or not, but it sounds pretty cool.


As you can see, she has a custom white paint job (standard colours where black or cherry) and  has a blacked out engine. These photos show her all polished up for the Big Bike Day in Freo a couple of years back, where she got quite a few nods of approval!
