When I saw the Honda 1100 in the title I was hoping for a v65 sabre or magna, or even a xx blackbird, but I knew it would be a shadow..
Welcome new guy! I had an 1100 shadow for a while and loved it. I rode the shit out of that bike, and I rode it like a sport bike, hanging off it as best I could through turns while I gently scraped away all kinds of metal off exhaust and pegs. Don't ever let someone tell you what you can't do.
