    C3 Shadows on meeting

The first Honda VT 1100 C3 meeting in Hungary. ( Tihany - Veszprem 28.-30. September 2012. )

Istvan Toth is a 1100 C3 owner from Veszprem who worked on this meeting and that's why 10 unique C3 Honda Shadow bikes have been in the downtown of Tihany in the afternoon on Friday.

When we arrived at that place we saw that exciting sight: 10 unique bikes with beautiful sound and of course those were 1100 C3 models. Those bikes belong to 10 owners. When they arrived at that place they were asking me a pile of questions about Shadow. ( I've gotten more questions during the conversation which was just 30 minutes like in clubs for a couple of years ) Maybe it's because of fanaticism coz not too many people have old bikes which were made long years ago, except who fell in love with this classic cruiser.

We were talking to each other until midnight and in the morning we went to Veszprem. There was an exhibition and beauty contest for these bikes there. As i said those 10 C3 Shadow bikes had exciting sight. They've gotten numbers and the people voted on the most beautiful Honda. The winner was a C3 and its first owner. It ran more than 100.000. kms. There was painted a unique picture on the tank and front fender.

The second was my bike which has a thick green handlebar and that was the oldest one of meeting. We've gotten certificates and i wanna have it framed. I liked all the bikes very much. Those were the same models but different. At the end of meeting the editor of the local news paper featured an interview with us and afterwards Istvan Toth took the editor to ride by his Shadow which had a brutal sound. He liked it very much and smiled. We said to him "This is it, the feeling, what we said..."

Finally we went to Bakony and we were biking for hours. Afterwards we visited Pannon observatory too. We took a supper in Balatonfured and then went home. I was so happy for this meeting. I got to know a lot of great people and they're interested in C3 Shadow.

I hope it'll be continued !

Greetings.
