Got my bike - '07 Honda Shadow Aero
Today I bought a new 2007 Honda Shadow Aero 750cc motorcycle. This is my first bike ever. I only managed to put 24.5 miles on it today, but I am anxiously waiting until this Saturday when I get enough time to go on a decent ride (maybe down to the Swan Falls Dam - it's maybe about a 35 mile ride, I'll have to clock it).
I have a Flickr Photo Set with photos of me picking my bike up from the dealer. Check em out.
Tomorrow I need to take it down and get it licensed, maybe I will get a sweet
ERRORIK plate? I wish TerraPass had a way to calculate out Motorcycle emissions.One thing that amazed me through the process of buying the bike was how easy getting the loan was. Maybe it is because I used the same credit union as my existing auto loan? I called a rep at the credit union yesterday morning saying I wanted to buy a bike, I then went to the dealer during lunch and had them fax a sales order to the union and called my rep to let her know. She said that I could come in at 3:30pm to sign the paperwork and pick up the check. I opted to wait until today to pick up the check because I had to get back to work, but I seriously could have had the money within like 5 hours - that's dangerous.
