OK First off call me Squirrel Nuts don't ask its not worth the time. I am from the Great Frozen North, Western New York to be exact. Don't even bring up the 4 Stuper Bowls or the NO GOAL 1 and 2. As you can see I ride a 02 Shadow ACE Deluxe. The pics do not do it justice, the custom paint on the tank is truly amazing. I no longer run with the windy on it and only have the bags on it for long rides. My Lady also has a Shadow. Hers is a 05 Aero and is fully dressed. I say it's TOOOOOOOOO much but she likes all the chrome ( of course she does she is not the one who has to shine it) but it does look nice. I am a member of the American Legion Riders and Patriot Guard Riders and think it is a great group of riders and AWESOME cause. I ride in support of my Ladies Son-in-law who is in the 82nd Airborne and was wounded in Iraq. Also for her Brother who is serving in the USN in Germany. In memory of my Father USN and Grandfather USNR. But I guess you could say that I ride for ALL our service men and women past, present, and future!!!!. Living in Western New York is not all bad, despite the snow and cold in the winter. Summer here is actually great it may get in the 90's but mostly high 70's and lower 80's. We live about 20 minutes from Lake Erie and there are loads of places to ride. From Seaway Trails to Mountain roads to Highways you can see why people stay here, not to mention no earthquakes or hurricanes or tornadoes.
