95 Stealth RT/TT vrs 550cc Honda Shadow

My redline owner friend is calling BS/ Shens on this story and told me to post it here and see that no1 would believe me. So with that said, Here is my Honest and True retelling of a race that just happened today between myself in the 95 Stealth and my buddy on his 550cc Honda Shadow


*I pull up next to him at the light, nod my head not knowing its him, he pops his mask of and says
"Hey dude its me"
I reply "O wow hey man, its been a while, like the new ride?" - referring to my stealth
He replys' Ya you wanna race em?"
I say " Sure but we gotta do a 10 roll through this intersection ( Pot holes n **** not gonna launch in that situation"
"Alright sounds good to me"

We roll at 10 through the intersection, I wait till i hear him get on it, then i floor it.
at the end of 1st i was even with him, as soon as i hit 2nd he was loosing distance pretty quick, when i hit around 80mph i noticed he stopped and i slowed down as well since the speed limit there was lower and im not looking to get a ticket or harm any1.


Anyways thats my story, Call BS or Truth however you feel. Thanks for readin

Hell yea, honda shadows are street choppers, not crotch rockets. I'd believe it any day unless you were driving a base model stock hyundai accent....

I'm the redline buddy.. I don't know **** about bikes... and I never told him I didn't believe him. He just had a hissy fit and then blocked me on facebook when I said that I didn't really consider a race against a bike a real race, and that maybe the guy wasn't trying. But this is nothing new for Jeff.

This is nothing but a post to try an make himself feel better.

Yea thats cuz in all black you might lose it in a dark alley... that would be cool, if you didn't have to look at it anymore.

I think the only thing slower is a yamaha virago

My mom had a 550 (pretty sure it was a 550) Shadow. It was one of the slowest things I have ever ridden.
