I love my Shadow and like to do day trips and easy overnighters. I like to do scenic rides and just take it easy and chill. I ride alot in the Southern Appalachians and I even like riding around the city in the beautiful neighborhoods. Did the entire Blue Ridge Pkwy and Skyline drive last year (that was overkill--and maybe cured me of long trips!). One of the most beautiful rides I did was last year riding back from the Florida gulf beaches --all on back roads to Atlanta. Shady two lanes and rolling pastures---loved it!
I have more customization plans with over 20k on the bike and a small budget---a dog carrier, driver backrest, heated grips, hard bags, custom paint.
I live with my partner/favorite fellow MC tourer, plus my cat and dog in Decatur, GA. I also love to garden--mostly flowers and some herbs and vegs. Movies, Disc golf, Hiking, catching up w/old friends on Facebook are my other current passions.
