Advantages: A great all round cruiser Disadvantages: The worst saddle ever built
Originally an owner of a HondaShadow 600, we moved to the new 700 Deauville. The ride deisgn of this bike is not suited to my height ..5ft 8 and 30 inch inside leg. We decided to go back to cruisers and bought a 2007 750 C2 Shadow Spirit.
My wife and I love the looks, the driver ride comfort, the economy and everything else about the bike......BUT....that gunfighter saddle..an absolute dissaster.................. After only 10 miles my wife is moving around trying to get comfortable. As she is only 4ft 10 and weighs just 45 kilos, she is hardly overweight.
We have had to purchase a Dual Tour saddle from the States as nothing else is available here in the UK.
Honda....it may look sexy but there the resemblence ends..that saddle is an ergonomic dissater...It ruins one of you best bikes ever.

Advantages: Excellent to ride, easy to clean Disadvantages: Not fast enough for some people
One of the loves of my life is my motorcycle the HondaShadow 1100. Imported from America by my local motorcycle shop, I took delivery of my baby in 1997 although she was built in 1986. I still own the bike six years later and have no plans to sell her in the near future.
The Shadow is a V-twin custom style motorcycle. With its 45-degree liquid-cooled four-valve V-twin shaft driven engine and its electric start you are promised a smooth and comfortable performance and ride at any speed.
A winner with her looks she receives admiring glances wherever we go. Her highly polished dark blue metallic paint and chrome catch the sun, which makes her stand out from the crowd. Sleek and perfectly formed she is a desirable object. With her low style she is easy to get onto even if you are of short height like myself, and you feel secure ...
Introduction
I first tried these Aero Bubbles when I bought the sharing bag from Tesco that was on offer for just over £1.00, I love the way they have changed from a bar into cute little sphere shapes, they are great. They look almost like maltesers from the outside but when you pop it into your mouth you experience something like never before. These were launched in 2005 and I cannot believe why I hadn't tried these earlier, these are bite size and I love them...
Packaging
The larger 135g pack comes with around 50 bubbles inside and is made of plastic with a rip off strip an a larger sticker to place over the top to prolong freshness! The smaller pack comes with about 7 bubbles inside which is great for a quick break! They both have the same theme, obviously green and brown, the same as the chocolate! On the front of the pack ...
