We finally made the deal for the 2017 leftover/demo bike. At 22k out the door, I think it was a good deal. You may disagree. We signed all the paperwork Friday morning, they said they'd have it ready Friday night, and it was. We still have lots of stuff that needs to be ordered/installed, but I picked up the bike on Friday night.
I drove the bike to our GWRRA rally on Saturday, and loved it.
Sunday morning, I jumped on the bike to go back to the dealer to pick up some more stuff that was on/in my old bike.
I drove about 3 miles, cruising along at about 50, and the engine makes a loud grinding/vibrating sound, and stalls. I coast to the side of the road, and park it. I called the dealer, and he comes out to get me with his truck. We get to the dealer. We start the bike, it takes a little throttle for it to kick over, and it sounds like metal being gound up. He says it sounds like a valve. I agree, but it's hard to tell. We only ran it for about 3 seconds.
Now I am back to driving the Fat Boy, when I really wanted to be driving my new WING!!
So much for Goldwings being bulletproof. The bike has 395 miles on it. I only did about 40.
