    Hi all,

    I was at the local dealer while my wife was buying a used SUV and ended up with an 08 Speedway Blue TRD access cab. It has a 4.0V6, 6 speed manual transmission, TRD rims and exhaust. The previous owner replaced the Toyota radio with an aftermarket DVD and had the rear and access windows tinted. Don't know if I like that yet. I can't see out the back at night.
    I bought it just before Thanksgiving, but am just now starting to drive it regularly, since I also ride a motorcycle, and the weather hasn't been bad lately.

    I had to Google the bike. Are all Shadow Sabres 1100s?
    a few of my riding buds are on VTXs, and I'm trying to talk my wife into a smaller 600-750 Shadow for next year's riding. Of course, two new-to-us, vehicles may keep her on her 250.
