Those that have never ridden nor been a passenger on a bike have no idea what they are missing.. I have a 1984 Honda Shadow 700C and it has taken me through decades of sunrises and sunsets.
Awesome, I have a '88 Shadow 750 and absolutely love it, might upgrade to a Shadow 1100 some day. My dream bike is a Honda VTX Fury 1300 but can't afford them unfortunatly :(
100% agree. It's hard to describe that feeling of freedom you get from ripping down the blacktop on two wheels. It's a high you just can't get from anything else
Great video Daniel. People who have never ridden will never understand the connection, respect and trust between man and machine. A very personal and real story.
I own a Harley Davidson 883 low, and a 2002 Honda Shadow American Classic Edition and to be quite honest they are my addiction. Riding those bikes give me a feeling that only other bikers can relate too. Live to Ride, Ride to Live!
Makes me love my old shadow. It's an OG 83. She's and old warhorse its got surface rust, scratched paint, a dent in the tank. It's been well cared for but the old girl shows her age. It's honestly my favorite bike out of my collection partly because it was my first bike.
Awesome, totally classy and totally personal. Most people are like: "This is me, this is my bike." Ya'll did it up right though, great job on this film! Nice treatment on the bike too, I'm liking the weathered look.
Danny, I have a motorcycle in my garage since 2009, but I park it after 3 accidents incidents in 2011. Short story you inspire me to ride again, I feel every thing you say in this video. Love your ride. Be safe Thank you. GOD BLESS.
The first time I drove my bike at night there was a full moon and it was a nearly clear sky…..was one of the coolest feelings ever! Out on the road by myself no one else around and only the noise of my shadow
This is great! A film of this quality about motorcycles is pretty rare on TH-cam. Refreshing to find good cinematography in a film about motorcycles and their owners.
Danny I hear you Brother I have just begun to ride and I wish everyone around me could experience the feeling of riding and especially into a beautiful sunset.
Nice Film short documentary on a realist do it yourself "Trial and Error" experience. This is so true and I been saying it for decades "Respect the machine, respect the ride". Bike turned out nice on the Vintage look. Iron Maiden Eddie looks good on it too.
I am on my 23rd bike.....Harleys, british bikes, japanese, etc....have a 1975 stroker ironhead....my best bike was a 1987 Suzuki Intruder....fast bike, handled great, kept up with Ecery v twin out there! Bought it in 2001 for 800.00 witg 68,000 miles!!!! Ran great! Regret sellibg it! New Harleys suck! Bunch of broken dicks and hipsters ridectgem now! Get a Japanese bike and rip into it your way!!!!
Corect me if I´m wrong but I think that is the Angeles National Forest , LA to Palmdale Ca., highway. I knew it the minute you took off on your bike. 15 years away from the US, but your video brought back good memories, nice flashbacks. I will get a Honda Shadow 750 to ride all Mexico´s Wests coast highways.
This is a cool a** video. I love to hear from people who just enjoy the ride. No matter what they are riding. I respect people who ride the Rat Rods, they may not look the greatest but they have character.
I dont know anything about the mechanical aspects of bikes, so im trying to decide if i risk a used shadow, or buy a new one to be safe. Any suggestions?
I wish i had a Honda Shadow back when i first started riding. My first street bike was a 1976 Kawasaki 650cc The Kawasaki was a wrecked bike. I rode it till the wiring caught on fire. It only lasted a little over a year. My second bike was a 1973 Honda 754cc. The Honda was the best bike i ever owned. I have owned about 30 bikes after that. I just bought my first cruiser 2 years ago. Its a Honda VTX 1300cc. So far its a great running bike.
I have only recently discovered your channel, but I have to say that it is one of my favorite TH-cam channels. I am not a bike guy, but here I am captivated by this video. Incredible work, and awesome channel! Keep up the awesome work!
I first rode Honda Rebel 250 2 years ago and I go to work on sunrise and came back home at sunsets. I agree with you. I always felt like I'm totally free when riding on either sunrise & sunsets. Too bad I had an accident with my rebel and I need to find other bike to replace it. Currently Im riding a knock off xv250 tracker. Doesn't have the same feeling I had when I'm on my cruiser. I'm thinking of selling this bike again and I'm getting a Shadow or xv535 next.
I love the feeling of just the motor and ground ,you got this machine to control so close to the ground and the wind just flowing through your body ,my first experience regardless of the motorcycle was a mini chopper going 50mph and then get pulled over lol what a rush
I have exactly the same Honda VXL 600 they good motorcycles and there's a lot of stuff that you can do to make them look better it was a cool video and cool bike!! I would like to know where did you get that full face helmet lol 😂
Thanks 4 video brother - cool ..appreciate the deep thoughts. I ve been ridin for 30 years since I was 18 and 10 yrs ago lost my ‘86 bike to a local shop for storage fees when I got deployed , got injured, surgeries and couldn’t t pick it up, it was mint n ran like a Swiss watch and I sorely missed it, Well , raised 3 kids later - oldest graduating Law school this Monday and I picked up a 99 1100 Honda Shadow 6 months ago don t know the mileage had no speedo ( didn t really care ran great ) put some ape bars on it replaced front forks with big Harley trees w/no fenders - Bobbed it out and she looks bad ass. Wifey doesn’t t understand my fascination as she thinks I’m too old for it now but I love the sunset by the ocean and that salt water ocean smell n spray on my face when I’m cruising by Beach as well as the sunrise and sunsets after long work day in the summers here in NY. I am grateful for the freedom, and appreciate it, some people just don’t.- Avg GI Joe.
I just bought my first bike couple days a go on craigslist , so shes is in new home now :) beauty black 2003 Honda shadow Ace 750 :) just $1500 , also I'm the second owner, the title say new with just 1 miles, now she has 24000 miles, by the way, I'm so happy :)
Nice video,i have a honda shadow a.c.e,i love it!i havnt rode in 20 years,man was i missing out!Thanks i can relate to this a lot!Growing up in cali in the 60's and 70's,brother in laws brother was a hell's angel,brother in law raced flat track on a triumph.I started out on minibike and worked my way up to big bikes.Anyway thanks!
It looks like this guy understands what riding is all about. It’s not about having the flashiest bike. Just as long as it has two wheels and a motor. Just you and your machine and the freedom it brings. Nothing feels better.
Nice job on the motorcycle and I have to agree with you taking trip on a motorcycle versus a car, is that on a motorcycle you experience the trip, every temperature change you fill the moisture in the air or whether it goes dry it's a much better experience.
Great video. After a year sober from booze. Just fell into motos. Never looked back 85 Suzuki Madura 1200 my baby leavn her alone. 02 1100 spirit all cust.my latest. Mr2's rule!!
my pasion for riding two wheels started on a mini bike up the LA riverbed. with a skate helmet and some paintball goggles lookin like mad max at 70mph. Those were the days. then i graduated to my 95 vlx600. riding is freedom
Sure are tough.I crashed into a jcb years back on my 400 shadow .When I got out of hospital it still started despite being twisted and really banged up.They have been my favourite bike ever since and all I ever ride
New they were about $5,500 retail in 2002, when I bought mine new. They take a long time to fully warm up, and some have gone 300,000 miles before losing too much engine compression. I plan to keep mine many more years- its sweet spot is 30 to 50 miles at 60 mph, preferably curvy country roads, but I have rode it all day at 75 mph. Not quite Gold Wing comfort, but fun and cheap.
Good story. Gotta say, that chopped "rat" Shadow has a really proud stance, and this old man's had some old school choppers in his day -- never thought I would say I like a chopped Shadow... so I'm stick'n to my guns; instead I'll just say, I love the way that bike looks.
Great video of your personal ride. I had friend that had one, 750cc I think, Doug had custom paint on it with two snakes going down the tank and joining on rear fender with a word across it. Awesome motorcycle too. Unfortunately one of his coworkers ruin the engine and damage it. But it was awesome at the time. I had a Kawasaki 440ltd to ride. Oh the memories of us riding all over the Pensacola to Ft Walton Beach, fl areas.
Totally agree. Too many things in life are overly complicated by just adding stuff. Hell, the new Goldwings have a freaking tv on the dash! All you need is two wheels and the wind
My 2002 Honda Shadow VLX front fender was made of steel to copy Harleys, and a few winters riding while there was still some salt on the roads rusted it badly, making me wish they just used a normal rice burner plastic front fender- the back fender is plastic. I have rode with no front fender several years now. Every puddle puts water on my face shield, sometimes muddy water I quickly wipe off with my left glove. I usually avoid riding in the rain, and I put a little Rain-X on my full face helmet shield after every ride. I still have the stock back shock and stock looks- stock is a combination of 1936 4-speed Harley Knucklehead, a little 1960s Frisco chopper, Transalp cooling so the engine might last 300,000 miles, and a hidden Harley Softail style back shock. I ride it almost every Sunday on curvy country roads up to 60 mph for 30 to 50 miles. I have a much faster and smoother sportbike I ride on Saturdays and for longer trips at 80 mph.
I can't wait to get to customize my 2003 Shadow 750. Just got a 2nd bike (2014 Valkyrie) so I can repair what's worn out and have fun with the appearance. If you don't ride, you really should try it. City life, at least, is certainly better on 2 wheels.
ATL, Year round rider 4 1/2 years now, no car, What dude says truth bomb 110%,, It's almost impossible to put in words what riding has given me I just know Wind Therapy now is my way of life and something I cannot go long without, And im on a vt750dc 2007 now since the beginning of April.(2020), And im all in on my Honda y'all, 2 fingered Road Salute 2 all my fellow 2 wheeled enthusiast!!!

Scott Chaffee Truth! Shadows are kinda looked down on in my area. Fuck them tho I ride one for me! Don’t ever sell yours-it’s a classic!
hey your ridin'..do your on thing man. I have rode all types for 50 yrs ride safe and peace out
Scott Chaffee how often have u had to maintenance
I just rode my Honda Spirit (750) and enjoy the bike , nice video
Awesome, I have a '88 Shadow 750 and absolutely love it, might upgrade to a Shadow 1100 some day. My dream bike is a Honda VTX Fury 1300 but can't afford them unfortunatly :(
I fuckin love this kind of video. real motorcycle rider stories. I wish more riders would make videos like this. awesome job brother.
gave me chills when he was talking about how he got in to it because it was the same for me
This bike is dope man, 100% Original & Truly Creative.
Must need
Spoken from the heart
one of my all time best video, never get tired of watching it over and over again when ever i came across it, excellent work, well done
Real biker, real bike and no getting side tracked on specs, hp torque and other bs that shouldn't matter so much. Great video bro. I love the risers.
100% agree. It's hard to describe that feeling of freedom you get from ripping down the blacktop on two wheels. It's a high you just can't get from anything else
Great video Daniel. People who have never ridden will never understand the connection, respect and trust between man and machine. A very personal and real story.
I own a Harley Davidson 883 low, and a 2002 Honda Shadow American Classic Edition and to be quite honest they are my addiction. Riding those bikes give me a feeling that only other bikers can relate too. Live to Ride, Ride to Live!
An update on this guy and his shadow?
i totally agree with you.... riding to the sunset with your headphones on.. good music and that amazing feeling
Makes me love my old shadow. It's an OG 83. She's and old warhorse its got surface rust, scratched paint, a dent in the tank. It's been well cared for but the old girl shows her age. It's honestly my favorite bike out of my collection partly because it was my first bike.
Awesome, totally classy and totally personal. Most people are like: "This is me, this is my bike." Ya'll did it up right though, great job on this film! Nice treatment on the bike too, I'm liking the weathered look.
Thanks for the compliments.

Do you happen to have anymore on motorcycles because your video presentation is on point!! Hope to see more..
Nice Film short documentary on a realist do it yourself "Trial and Error" experience. This is so true and I been saying it for decades "Respect the machine, respect the ride". Bike turned out nice on the Vintage look. Iron Maiden Eddie looks good on it too.
By far one of my favorites!
sick
Best running bikes ever made
I am on my 23rd bike.....Harleys, british bikes, japanese, etc....have a 1975 stroker ironhead....my best bike was a 1987 Suzuki Intruder....fast bike, handled great, kept up with Ecery v twin out there! Bought it in 2001 for 800.00 witg 68,000 miles!!!!
Ran great! Regret sellibg it!

Yo I loved this man. It's the truth behind riding a bike and becoming one with it. Deep.
I'm angry this was recommended to me 5 years later 😡
That's a badass bike and the dude looks badass riding down the highway🤙
This is a cool a** video. I love to hear from people who just enjoy the ride. No matter what they are riding. I respect people who ride the Rat Rods, they may not look the greatest but they have character.
Great story. I love my Shadow as well.
Excellent experience. Thank you for sharing. I have a 2006 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 and it is awesome.

looks similar to something like this

By far my favorite bike is a Honda Shadow. Great Episode
I also love my 2009 Shadow. My son wants me to get a Harley like him-I tell him I enjoy the ride and comfort I get when I ride-cruise along and enjoy.
my pasion for riding two wheels started on a mini bike up the LA riverbed. with a skate helmet and some paintball goggles lookin like mad max at 70mph. Those were the days. then i graduated to my 95 vlx600. riding is freedom
No way would I thought that was a Shadow.Cool bike and cooler Video
+Rick Acerra Dope! and thanks for watching. I thought this video would have got more views.
I owned a Shadow a few years ago but It didn't look like that lol
What kind of helment is he wearing??it looks dope!
great video. I also ride a shadow. love the raw look of ur machine!!!
I definitely like your Iron Maiden seat. That's a good looking bike.
Beautiful bike
This is a great story and an awesome build! Thanks for the share! 💪🏽⚡⚡
I love my Shadow. It does Harley better than Harley, and Indian better than Indian. The Shadow definitely is the king of cruisers.
Yeah no Indian scouts may be untested for reliability but it's eons above the shadow.
In literally every respect barring reliability
Great vid. Honda shadows are tough bikes. Mine has definitely taken a beating.
Sure are tough.I crashed into a jcb years back on my 400 shadow .When I got out of hospital it still started despite being twisted and really banged up.They have been my favourite bike ever since and all I ever ride
What kind of tires are on your Vlx 60o?
How much would you say you spent in total with buying the bike? Definitely looking to get one also what year is your bike?
I think he got the bike for $1,500 -$2,500. If I would take a guess like $3,000 in total.
New they were about $5,500 retail in 2002, when I bought mine new. They take a long time to fully warm up, and some have gone 300,000 miles before losing too much engine compression. I plan to keep mine many more years- its sweet spot is 30 to 50 miles at 60 mph, preferably curvy country roads, but I have rode it all day at 75 mph. Not quite Gold Wing comfort, but fun and cheap.
What year Shadow is it, I ride a 96 VLX 600c
what year is this
Man nice bike love how primal it is and the sound is just 👌
This is done so well, love the bike
"rough and rugged", that makes a nice bike. thanks for the video.
Good story. Gotta say, that chopped "rat" Shadow has a really proud stance, and this old man's had some old school choppers in his day -- never thought I would say I like a chopped Shadow... so I'm stick'n to my guns; instead I'll just say, I love the way that bike looks.
I had a 07 shadow, loved it. I ride a 1200 Sportster now 👍
very nice video I love the bike I have a 600 vlx too, people want her but I won't let her go Im in love with her jajaja
true freedom
What model shadow was that?
I got a 2006 Honda shadow 750
and a really really love it..
I have a 2005 750 Honda Spirit .
2006 750 Shadow Aero here. I'm in love with the bike.
Awesome story. Awesome ride. 👍
I love my shadow
Great episode!!!!!! Keep them Rollin!
Great story.
hermosa moto Danny! la mia es una shadow vt600 bobber! ;)))))
Great video of your personal ride. I had friend that had one, 750cc I think, Doug had custom paint on it with two snakes going down the tank and joining on rear fender with a word across it. Awesome motorcycle too. Unfortunately one of his coworkers ruin the engine and damage it. But it was awesome at the time. I had a Kawasaki 440ltd to ride. Oh the memories of us riding all over the Pensacola to Ft Walton Beach, fl areas.
Quick question bro did you re jet your carbs when you cut your pipes ?
Love the basic approach.
Totally agree. Too many things in life are overly complicated by just adding stuff. Hell, the new Goldwings have a freaking tv on the dash! All you need is two wheels and the wind
How do you find it running without a front fender?
What do you mean?
My 2002 Honda Shadow VLX front fender was made of steel to copy Harleys, and a few winters riding while there was still some salt on the roads rusted it badly, making me wish they just used a normal rice burner plastic front fender- the back fender is plastic. I have rode with no front fender several years now. Every puddle puts water on my face shield, sometimes muddy water I quickly wipe off with my left glove. I usually avoid riding in the rain, and I put a little Rain-X on my full face helmet shield after every ride. I still have the stock back shock and stock looks- stock is a combination of 1936 4-speed Harley Knucklehead, a little 1960s Frisco chopper, Transalp cooling so the engine might last 300,000 miles, and a hidden Harley Softail style back shock. I ride it almost every Sunday on curvy country roads up to 60 mph for 30 to 50 miles. I have a much faster and smoother sportbike I ride on Saturdays and for longer trips at 80 mph.
May someone tell me What helmet that is please?
dude, you may also like (search using the keywords "blaster helmet" on google)
Its a biltwell without the visor. They sell them in that style and they’re relatively cheap!
I can't wait to get to customize my 2003 Shadow 750. Just got a 2nd bike (2014 Valkyrie) so I can repair what's worn out and have fun with the appearance. If you don't ride, you really should try it. City life, at least, is certainly better on 2 wheels.
