riding with a small group of friends

I have had my 1993 Honda Shadow VLX since
1996. Most of the time because of obligations I didn't ride much and I just tried to ride it so it wouldn't sit too long. I never thought I'd like to ride with a group but I've just gotten some new friends (three old men, with "over the hill" t shirts. I refuse to wear one. So I've started fixing up my bike. I got heel and toe shifter (MC Enterprises), which one of the guys put on for me. What a difference having a floorboard instead of a peg on long trips!! And I've decided to get new Cobra pipes and a new windshield. My point is I probably would have never done all this if it wasn't for my new friends. Just wanted to share my experience.
