Honda VT 500 Shadow

I bought this bike in 95, my first as a rider. It was such a great bike for newbies. My daughter learned to ride on it and when I got a VStar, she got the Honda. I reckon I should have kept the Shadow!?

I was living in Kenai, Alaska and could only ride 3-4 months. The other 8-9 months I was riding a Polaris snowmachine.
