My heart was pounding watching this as you set off on the Shadow, I pick up a customised version tomorrow, glad I found this video as I feel more confident as I'm only a wee rider at 5'3'', nice to know where my feet will go 😄👍👍👍👍
you prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@@kooky2 I am really sorry to hear you had an accident. There's always more risk on a bike. I hope you have recovered completely and maybe one day, you'll get back in the saddle. Best wishes!
Oh wow, been looking at getting this bike after doing my CBT, and good to see that you're riding a stones throw away from where I live, Great Malvern! That's awesome :)
That thing is awesome! Had no idea they made a 125 version of the shadow! I have a 750 shadow that I'm in love with and here in the states we don't see too many 125s running around other than honda groms so I LOVE that thing!
hey hun xx just want to say as a fellow honda shadow vt125 owner myself xx these are great little bikes , trust me , very nippy lil things to own , really realiable and great fun to ride :) had mine since 2006 and never once had a problem with it :) call mine elvira xd she is a lovely bike :) top speed max is 70mph which is great and all ya need :) saw ya trying to get used to the bite point :) it takes time hun xx as they are very powerful little engines in the bike but great great fun :) took mine all over the uk andround the clock 4 times xd youll grow to love this bike xx :) have fun riding her and welcome to the cruiser riders xx
Don't feel bad about forgetting the fuel switch least u only forgot it once and not several dozen times like I did on my old Suzuki gz125 lol also u might think with these 125 cruisers that not having a proper fuel gauge is a problem but trust me its not they can achieve 80+mpg and most have hefty 17 litre fuel tanks I had mine for a year rode about 10 miles a week and filled it up... ONCE!
I know people have learned to ride on this bike. However, I found the bike difficult to learn on because it was hard to do the figures of 8 and U turns. I found the clutch to be very stiff as you will see in my other videos! So I got a Honda cbr 125 to help me learn to ride properly on. Then I had lesson on a Kawasaki z650 before passing the full licence. Depends what do you want to do on the bike! Happy riding! x
I’m sorry I’ve not uploaded. I haven’t ridden in 2 yrs after the crash. My anxiety is too high. My new Kawasaki I bought before the crash has only done 10miles! I do want ride again. Thx for your comment.
Fred Blogs mac. I cracked a rib! It was a stupid mistake as you’ll see from my last posted vid. But in my defence, it was a stupidly shaped roundabout which constantly has crashes at. Thanks . I really do hope to get back into it. Riding with a mate would help I guess.
@@kooky2 we all crash if i can recall iv had about 6 I think, and learned a lot from each crash, last time about 30.+ years so don't be hard on yourself, when you feel up to it start back at the begging slow and easey
yer nice video...iv got a silver one;).the riding position takes abit of getting used to .like you i forgot to turn the fuel first time i rode it and had to do the push of shame...lol.
I do hope you are joking! Lol! I am in the UK and was on the correct side of the road. I cannot ride a 750cc until I have passed the full A licence. Currently I am restricted to riding 125cc on the CBT license. Have a fab day mate!
Tyro ha ha i was pulling your strings, however when you move up in motors, you will outgrow them quickly, so its best not to make small jumps I've seen people go from a vespa to a vt1100 with no problem, but i understand your restrictions, be careful..
Tyro Well Tyro, im glad your trying out a 650. .. . .i had one. .. . .. .. ""WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD"" Dont ya think its time to take off the "training wheels?" perhaps driving on the wrong side of the road has affected you in some way :(

...ok so a year on I'm a proud owner of an Indian Scout, oh baby what a ride 💜 👊 it's videos like yours have given me so much confidence 👍
i love vespa and i love shadow.cheers.
That's a really great swap nice to see a fellow cruiser rider :)
Thank you!
+Tyro No problemo!

@Mateo Cyrus Instablaster =)
Great bike same engine as the Varadero which i have
Thank you for sharing such an honest video. Bt now (2021) you're probably brilliant 👍
Thank you! I have my full license now but not not ridden for over a year, maybe more. Since my accident I’ve lost my nerve.

Thanks! Tbh is not the best bike to learn on to get the A licence but if that’s not what your going to do soon, have fun and enjoy!
@@kooky2 Thanks for the advice, hope the riding is going well!

OMG hello Malvern!!...haven't been there for almost a year...i live in Ross on Wye after living in Ledbury all my life..great video and awesome bikes.
The ElectricHobo Malvern is a great place to ride! You should go! Thanks for the comment 😁

Hey I'm super duper late but I'm just wandering if you're still here is it good for a starter cruiser do you think in your honest opinion?😁

@@kooky2 I value your opinion, thank you!

Always have a tissue with you. Then viewers won't hear sniff.
Trop fort le moment apprentissage 1er vitesse ;) , ( french )
Good video exept for the awful sound of you sniffiling your snot back up your nose
What the hell are you doing? At least get a 750, and you're on the wrong side of the damn road..

Bill Bill lol thought so! I’m trying out a 650 next month and I’ll go from there. I’m not getting anything under 600 😁 You rise safe too 😘
