#first post
95 VT1100 Honda Shadow. Spent a long time ironing out all the issues with this bike. First ride of summer she quit 2 hours from home in Otaru. Made in America and some parts not available in Japan (!) ordered, waited then Swapped the stator and rectifier. First Did some shorter rides, then 300km loop up the coast a few weeks ago. Today got the approval from my wife and took it 600km around Disetzusan to see the foliage. Got a bit chilly on the way home but feel like i finally did a ride worth sharing. Hope you guys had a good ride this weekend too.

My husband and I want to take a short trip 3-4 days total through upper/ middle Kentucky on our motorcycle as a 2up. We’re planning on leaving in the next two weeks so any advice appreciated! We want to know if there are any real amazing places/ lesser known routes that are scenic and motorcycle friendly (no dirt/gravel roads please). We have visited Bowling Green for the corvette museum before so we know that area as well as the Barren River Lake area. We’re looking for something a little further north this round. Just to clarify, we’re coming from Illinois so most likely we will be riding through Louisville but just wanted to get some feedback and ideas from other motorists/ locals :)
Thank you so much! So happy to be apart of the Reddit community 😁🌸
Edit to add: we love bodies of water and curvy roads 😂 any lake or River routes are welcomed
My first post. Touring on a cheap naked bike with some adventure mod. Most photos and videos were in my GoPro,the island was super chill in Southern Thailand. I don't think they would take such big axx GS1200 on the boat, as you need to help to load and unload it as well. Even my 150cc bike needed 3 people to unload.
