Nice bike! Where do you hook up your espresso machine?

Have you heard that you can get 09's with air bags? I would like to see that demonstrated to see just how effective it would be. I have heard that the air bag actually works in protecting the rider.

That is a beautiful machine!
I hope to have a Goldwing one day but I will be getting a Roadking next.

you don't need a goldwing until you need a walker

I saw a guy on a Goldwing this past Monday......it was raining and 32F outside. He must be one tough sob.........I couldn't do that.

Does it have a gear to help you go reverse?Looks real heavy.

Yes, it has a reverse.

Those Goldwings are nice. So nice, a guy on my route has two of them. And they're quiet too!

Gotta love the Yamaharley.

My last bike was one as well. I think the current RoadStar is next.

Rode Wings for 11 years, put 'bout 200k on 'em. Finally parted ways when the frame issue arose on the 1800's - had a 3 yr-old, paid-for 1800 that I ebay'd....then bought mah '07 Ultra. We don't go far on it - did a li'l trip ta the Dakota's last summer, an' we're looking at mebbe Montana this summer.

Nice rides. I'm actually looking for an older (80's) GL1000/GL1100 to make a project out of.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Then it'll be an 1100, 1200 or 1500 you'll be lookin' at, IIRC. The 1100 is purty good - just watch the stator connections. The 1200 had some final drive issues. The 1500 was purty dang bullet-proof, but the 12 an' 1500's had lots of tupperware on 'em.

Goldwings are nice looking bikes. I see one in my future when I get old enough to ride one. I am only 69 so I guess I will keep riding my Yamaha Roadstar.

I have to say that Goldwings rock. They are definitely the best long range bikes out there. We sold our bike (VTX-1800 Retro), but I'd love to rent a Wing one weekend.
