Biker Greeting

Looks like his is moving off the bike quite a bit and allowing it to stay more upright, which is obviously what ya gotta do on a bike that big.

My wife and I each have a 06 Goldwings. I suspect (BTW I am no where near as skilled as the rider in the video) the reason he moves around so much is not the weight of the bike. On of the things that make the GL1800s so easy to ride is their low center of gravity. This is achieved but mounting the wide flat 6 low and forward in the frame. While this makes the bike very easy to ride it also limits lean angle so if you need more weight on the inside of the tire in a turn YOU need to put it there. As a wing owner I will tell you they are incredible machines and while nowhere near as agile as a 400lb sport bike the are incredibly agile for an 800lb machine and will spank most of the big air cooled V Twins out there.
