...the first part of your post is a bit condescending but i guess there are a lot of dopey people out there and need that spelled out... I have no idea of who you are and your riding experience. You say you have 0 years experience. Some riders think that with armour they are somehow very protected....

I buy gear new and used, always in person. I too, have a short financial leash. For gloves, you need to try them on to see if they fit your hands. Gloves can be expensive but are worth the extra cost for better protection and comfort. I recommend buying gloves from a retail store in your area, where...

Summary: The protective gear is the one between your ears: Learn to ride safely, to predict, find and remove yourself from trouble spots before you are ever in danger, to stay away from drivers with psychological issues that want to kill you, either benignly or with intent. In the unlikely event tha...

Older bikes can offer excellent value for money and smiles per mile. That said, they are older and need maintenance. When considering the older bike note that consumables will need to be replaced, and their cost needs to be discounted from the purchase price. These include: tires (older than 5 years...

On the used market there are alternatives, all Honda Shadows:
-'82-'84 Honda VT500C Shadow
-Honda VLX 600

Both these bikes are very reliable, have similarly low seat heights, and will be lighter than the 750.

Since this is your second bike, get whatever you want!

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WINDS OF AT LEAST 35 MPH OR WIND GUSTS OF AT LEAST 46 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION. SMALL TREES... AND POWER LINES CAN ALSO BE BROUGHT DOWN BY WINDS IN THIS RANGE. It seems to be a...

...Single yes, clothes part check, no children check, young depends on what you consider young but shes like 30. Cute is a relative term that depends on a persons tastes. But to get to the real point shes a lesbian.... LOL I almost spat out my dinner! Hmmmmmm Thank you for clearing that up So recap...

No worries, if all that needs replacing is the rear tire. Ensure that the frame is not bent, as well as shocks. The earlier (before '97) VLXs had dual carbs and are pretty nice. Get a new rear tire from eBay and you're in business.
