Siiiick

:drool:

Wow.... :dribble:

Everyone should spend one day on a wing before they decide they are just for old people
If you are ever in New Hampshire look me up I will let you take either mine or my wifes GL1800 out you will be amazed

I agree

This thing just looks like a waste of money, unless they got a wrecked goldwing to do it. Be cheaper to get a better performing Busa and do it if you wanted a huge motor.

I have no doubts... it's a Honda, it's torque monster, and it's a Honda.

That'd be my guess... I wouldn't mind finding a basket case Goldwing and hacking it down to something similar, but this thing has a lot of custom work done to it... I would hope that the guy has a shop or easy access to one because that shit looks expensive.

I've only ridden one Goldwing in my life. To be truthful at first I didn't really want to ride it...especially with a passenger on the back as well. I just didn't feel comfortable taking something out so big and heavy that didn't belong to me...plus riding in an area that I wasn't familiar with didn't help.

When we first pulled out I was a bit wobbly. I had to turn around in gravel...it was in the mountains and I hadn't ridden in a few years on top of that !! :lol:

I wasn't familiar with the controls and just felt like a fish out of water. Well low and behold it started coming to me and before long I was actually enjoying the ride...the bike surprised me big time. It is a nice machine.

After stopping here and there while out on the ride I started getting really comfortable with it and even started playing with the communications system...bike to bike...passenger to passenger...the 6 CD disc changer...cruise and so on. :rofl: The bike even has reverse a remote control trunk which can include a freakin' vanity mirror !! :rofl: :rofl:

I appreciated the guy letting me ride his bike because I would have never known how easy the bike is to ride and how well it actually handles if I hadn't of taken it for a spin.

Oh and the Goldwing in the OP above looks badazz...Madmax your bike is ready !! :lol:

Yeah, what Dave said. :dthumb:

Awesome.

Just because their nice to ride doesn't mean their not for old people. All the uncomfortable to ride bikes are for young people for good reason.

When I was shopping for my rat bike, I saw a ton of goldwings on CL that would make good projects.

I ride a couple of the uncomfortable ones as well. The GL1800 will outhandle most all of the heavy Cruisers and has a stock Drive train that has the flattest torque curve of any motorcycle you have ever ridden Want to Launch in 5th NP want to crush the guy on the HD beside you NP want to carve up the corners no problem. The appearance fools people they are not Cruisers as the picture shows it is a Sport Standard on Steriods. The Geee Jaws and do dads are nice ,, My wife and I have all of them.. but all of the gadgets are eclipsed by just how good a motorcycle it is. Not How good an LT it is but how good a motorcycle it is.
Try a day on one.

I've rode one before. As a younger rider I wouldn't be caught dead on that grandpa couch.

How old are you?

I know most of us original TWFers are aging rapidly and not part of the younger rider crowd any longer. I definitely don't consider myself a younger rider at all. Younger riders are stupid and don't know what a good motorcycle is, they just want the best curb squirrel getting device that can be found.

27, I not over the ledge yet. So when you replacing that sportbike banner at the top with on of these?

Fuck trikes, I hate them. Including reverse trikes like the spyder. I like Goldwings, would rather one of them over a spyder. If I am ever not capable of riding a two wheeled motorcycle, I am buying a convertible instead of dumbass trike. I have a hard time even accepting people who are missing legs that want to ride a trike. I really absolutely loathe the women that ride trikes that are fully capable of riding a real motorcycle.

I'm completely down if you change the theme of the site to a sport/adventure style. GS800 is going to be my next purchase.

We're about the same age...id try one for a laugh but if I was looking for something like that it'd be a connie

I will probably age to a sport touring beemer. Not doing the trike thing. I'll switch to a Jeep, first.

I've riden a 'Wing and had a lot of fun.

I still like the conversion in the first post, however.

I've seen them chopped like that before. I love em!

I'm with ya on hating trikes. However, IMO you get a PASS if your handicapped or old enough to draw social security.

I have an uncle that rides a trike and he's paralyzed from the waist down.

:boobs:Gold wing is my /our next bike, would look great next to the busa

Here you go
