My wife Jan doesn't really participate in bike forums, so she lets me do the talking and research, and once in a while I get to ride her bike. We bought
this 1998 Tour late in 2007 from a City policeman in Bloomington IL who had kept it in near showroom condition with just a few mods. I have added a couple
more since this picture.
We are looking forward to riding together in the coming years. We both quit riding to raise the kids and I had a battle with two bad hips. But 20+ years later, I finally could swing a leg over a bike again, and I bought an old Yamaha Venture Royale (read my story in the other section for non Shadow bikes) and have been having a ball. When we saw this bike for sale locally, I convinced Jan she had to have it. It rides great.
