Anytime, we'll try again, Steve

Anybody interested to join up with some Goldwingers that like to ride brisk (for us) https://gl1800riders.com/forums/showthread....239#post2295239 Steve

Thanks gang I'm hoping to get together and ride with some of you this year. I wish I could do the KY ride but can't make that one. A good day trip is more likely. I don't ride my wing as hard as my friend, I don't feel that inspired or confident but do enjoy riding any road all day at about...

Hey gang, Its me daddysbike for those who may already know me. I sold my FJR and bought my 3rd Goldwing. A fellow goldwinger that I ride with was asking about FJR riders and if any would be interested in riding with him. He is a very good rider, rides just about every weekend and has his...

Ooops, sorry. I copied my post from another fourm. Ride is Sat. Aug. 2

Aug. 2 I work at the cancer center in Toccoa, GA. A patient that we just finished treating is an avid motorcyclist. He has done everything with motorcycles i.e. custom builder etc. He is now in charge of the program at North Ga Technical for motorcycle mechanics. He's a great guy and a friend...

I've been wondering the same thing since I have a 4yr old boy and 6yr old girl. I decided at minimum they must be able to reach pegs (floorboards on my wing) and trust not to fall asleep. My 6 yr old girl is likely a year or two away. I'll start with 30 minute rides around town and progress as...

Good point! I could keep you company bringing up the rear. Honestly, this is a good group of riders. I'm surprised I haven't been hearing the usual 2 wheel car jokes. Does anybody know where I can get a pair of velcro sneakers? What about a good cupholder? Steve

Mike, You and your wife would love it with all the 2up riding you do. I sold my '03 wing and got a ST1300 with top box/backrest. My wife rode on it once. I sold that and got the '05 Goldwing and she was happy to ride with me again. Sold that for FJR and again she rode with me once. I've had the...

6.6 gallon tank (under the seat so low center of gravity) I got 40mpg on my first 2 Goldwings and the '08 only has 800 miles on it now but looks like it will do about the same so ~250 miles between fill ups though I usually fill up between 170-200 miles. First valve check not due until 32,000...

As some of you may know earlier this year I had planned to add my 3rd Goldwing to the FJR for more comfortable/2 up riding. Since then with all the FJR riding I've been doing my hip/back injury has me back in lockdown and physical therapy. I injured to lumbar disks 20 years ago and every couple...

Originally I had planned to add another Golwing and keep the FJR. Since then my old hip/back injury pain has returned so the FJR is gone and its back to just the wing. I had a dark cherry wing in '05 and really liked the color so I went with what is now called Dark Metallic Red for '08. Great...

If they remembered to soak the clutch plates before putting the bike together then its fixed. Steve
