I've enjoyed the forum and I've learned a lot. I'm sure I'll have some questions in the future but for now just wanted to say hi and introduce our bike.
To make a long story short -- my wife bought this bike new, rode it a few years, then put it into storage. Then she married me.
The bike didn't need much - clean the carbs, new tires, and battery, bleed the fluids, and some TLC (not unlike our marriage now that I think about it). Amost 10,000 miles on it now and it runs great.
We're looking for something bigger but we'll keep the Nighthawk for short trips.

 Did you know she had this great bike before you proposed to her ? Ride safely,

I'm a noobie myself and here I am welcoming someone already!  I really like the back rack thing you've got there. Would be nice for trips where you've gotta' bring a little gear along. |

Thanks for the warm welcome -- and you're right, I've been very fortunate.

Yep - we actually got it this weekend. I had the following instructions from the "boss" - It had to be a Honda, it had to be black. So I found this 2007 VT1100 with pretty low miles. It will take a little getting used to be so far we love it!!!
