The Goldwing is the ultimate comfort bike for touring and cannot be beat. I still ride off-road as well, when I hear someone say they are too big and heavy that queues me that they are not very experienced riders. You can throw around a Wing just like any other bike (as you've proven), they're fun and comfortable. I had an 83 GL1200 and now ride a 90 GL1500 and look forward to owning a GL1800 very soon. :-) Michael Putz 78FC35 Mesa, Az |

The 1800's are nice. I can't say I like the styling of the latest one. It's a little too angular for my tastes. I'd look for the last styling series. There's probably a dealer or 2 with a couple of leftovers.

RE: Show us your motorcycles
Bob:
There is a cardinal rule in motorcycle riding you seem to have ignored. This also applies to float planes. With float planes; ALWAYS KEEP THE FLOATS ON THE BOTTOM. With motorcycles; ALWAYS KEEP THE WHEELS ON THE BOTTOM. I once (in my younger days) rolled a motorcycle end over end through a gravel intersection AT 40 mph.

RE: Show us your motorcycles
I'm thinking the sentiments on the bottom of the saddlebags says it all! Love it!! BTW, could you get any more luggage onboard? LOL.........
Heck, Mike, I even left the drill press home on this trip! Those inverted stickers have been seen all the way to Alaska, and the Canadian Maritime Provences....some times that bike decides to take a nap in the sand!! . Here is one I would like to forget: Del Rio Texas, May 2006, 105 degrees, Harley FXR got into a high speed wobble ("Tank-slapper") which broke both hands, 2 fingers, both wrists, and gave me a concussion that made me do the "Tim Conway shuffle" for 5 weeks of vertigo. Trooper Fernandez explaining to me that the Del Rio Hospital just lost their orthopedic Doctor to a drug abuse issue. My trigger finger getting 3/8 inch shorter: Old Marines do improvise, adapt, & overcome....... Honey, I promise I will stay in the back yard and go slow..... Her response deleted! |
