2001 Honda Shadow Ace Deluxe

This is my second bike. After taking the bike course out at our local college my husband bought me a 1998 Suzuki Marauder. Being a new rider, I was nervous but the more I rode, the more comfortable I got. In 2009 my youngest daughter lost her job and with her not working and her car in my name, I felt that the only thing to do was to sell my bike. The day it was driven out of my garage I cried. My husband held me and said "I wish you hadn't done that". But he told me that I would get a better bike. Well a month later I found my Honda and fell in love with it. It drove nicer then my first bike and I feel so comfortable driving it. I can thank my dad getting me the bike and my husband for making it look the way I wanted it.
