Hello together 
my name is Richard, im 32 and living in Switzerland. I work as Sales Manager for the US and Canada - so Iam often around in the States too
I just got my motorcycle license three months ago and since then, drove 5'000 km with my first bike - an Honda Shadow VT600C.
But as it is ... even with the speed limit of 80km/h and all the alpine passes around, the 600cc was to slow for me (6'1'' ; 286lbs) so I changed to an VTX1800C.
Bike still came with some small mods:
Planned modifications:

Looking forward to read more of all of you!
Keep the rubber down and head up
