Any suggestions on where to buy a wheel chock? My ramp is pretty good.

Had a feeling the fairing would have to come off. Ugh.

Need any suggestions, tips, experiences. It's a 1,000 mile trip and I'm a tad bit nervous. It has a batwing fairing, which may not help in tie down application.

Go little man! At 7 I started off on a Honda XR 75 and graduated to a Yamaha MX100. He'll remember this for the rest of his life.

I'm 5'10 and 220 and had one (2003 Shadow 750 ACE) and it wasn't bad at all for a first bike. Rode it two years before moving up to VTX 1300R, but only because my riding buddies had bigger bikes and it was easier to keep up.

I was just at HF this weekend and saw this cart. Seems you get what you pay for.I'm not into the $700 range. I priced ones at Sears before actually buying one at Sam's Club for $300.

Congrats!!

Was there anyone else like myself stupid enough to waste $14 to get into Cyclefest at the Expo center this past weekend? Talk about a rip off. There was maybe three dozen bikes to look at. There were more vendors wanting to redo my basement and sell me miracle diets than to sell me bike stuff. I think I spent a whole 45 minutes walking through. On top of all that, they wanted an additional $5 to have Kim Coates (Tig of Sons of Anarchy) sign autographs. Bring on Easyriders. Ugh.

Beahes are nice, but you gotta try the Republic of Texas Rally in Austin in June. www.rotrally.com
