Cardinal Sin

trevwales · 10-23-2009, 01:22 PM

Well, I went and done wrong! I listened to my wife when she said go ask that nice salesman if you can take that nice red goldwing for a test ride. ::)

Should have known better I guess, the number of guys on here have warned of this before.

So, Voyager gone :'(, hello Wing..

Will drop by now and then to see how well this site is going, there isnt a wing site like it wish there was! Trip and all of you have made this site great!

If any of you get over to UK Wales way, email me, and be happy to say hi and whatever.

Y'all take care now, Trev ;)

Good luck with your new bike.

Yellow Jacket · 10-23-2009, 01:38 PM

Well Trev, we're going to miss you and your reports about the Voyager. In the meantime, don't be a stranger and enjoy the new Wing!

Cheers.

Congrats on the new bike! I too will own a wing someday.

Should never have listened to the wife. Now she knows for sure that you have selective hearing loss when you choose not to hear her. Was going in there what you would call "ON A WING AND A PRAYER" or was it "WINGING IT". Enjoy the ride.

I'm 62 and I'm still not old enough for a "Geezer" bike!! ::)

I tried to warn you good people about the Honda Wing-Ding fever. I should say I told you so, but I won't. I hope I'm not breaking any rules, but here goes. This is a few Wing sites I visit.

None are as sophisticated as Kawa-Now. But still a lot of information & good folks too.

Like a Harley, what you bought is a starter kit. Now you have to go out & farkle it up. Good Luck with your new Goldwing....-Rich

Good luck with the new Wing, they are nice bikes. Stay in touch and say hi once in a while, fill us in on the details about the new bike.

**Cajunrider** · 10-23-2009, 08:26 PM

Don't go away Trev. Hang around with us giving reports on the new Wing. Congratulations.

wheelie · 10-23-2009, 09:16 PM

Have fun and ride safe on the Honda.

AlabamaNomadRider · 10-23-2009, 09:46 PM

Congratulations on the purchase of the Goldwing. They are great bikes. I owned an '83 back in '83 through '86 or so. It didn't have near the gadgets on it that the newer ones have. Enjoy.

funtogo · 10-23-2009, 09:51 PM

Congrats on the Goldwing.They are great bikes.I had a 1984 Gold Wing Interstate From 84-87.Smooth as silk.Like others here,I might own another someday.You never know!

When I had my Wing the wife and I went into the dealer to buy the kids a helmet for Christmas.
Bought the helmet and the Wing. The wife kept saying, "Just sit on the Wing and see how you like it." Loved it and the rest is history.

So Al...you went from a Wing to a Nomad????
You must actually be getting younger!

Actually, I had a Wing when I was 30

which was day or two ago!

snarleybill08 · 10-23-2009, 10:31 PM

i really think it's great that there is no wing bashing on here. here's my perspective on a new wing. i have an 08 that i bought new over a year ago.they are awesome bikes, the best there is for the long haul. i also have an 08 nomad and a v-star 1300 touring. if i had to choose only one for a keeper it would be a hard decision. i would probably go with the nomad. the reason being, i have bad legs and find the floor boards more comfortable. and i still want that nostalgic motorcycle look. so i am going to keep all three for now. a wing is by far not a geezer bike. the group i ride with, venture riders push there bikes to the limit and we ride them in the twisties to the limit. the corners of my highway boards are ground off. the wing will out run most bikes on the road accept for crotch rockets and sport touring bikes, and have sport bike like handling. for the long haul it has the ultmate in luxury bar none. what i am saying, if you want a wing, go for it but don't be to quick to dump your v-twin. keep it if you can you will have the best of both worlds. bill
