My name is Clary Roberts, 67 yrs old retired and am hopefully closing a deal to own my 3rd GW; a 2003 bright yellow with black trim, 39K miles.
I bought my first gw in '75 and second in '78. Since then been riding different bikes, mostly HD Roadglides. Hard to beat the reliability of a Honda, so here I am again!
Apparently there is a recall not completed on this bike re: rear brake drag. I'm ok buying it and resolving that with Honda myself. Paying $7,500 for the bike from private party, tires have about 500 miles on them.
Looking forward to getting up to date info on what is cost worthy to do with the bike, especially with regards to using my iPhone for nav, helmets for me and wife (he's got on that will fit wife that plugs in, I'll need to get Sena for both I think and use IPhone?)....
I'm sure there's people on here with a wealth of knowledge and perhaps someday get to meet or ride with some fine Honda folks.
See you on the forums.....
BTW, I have a helmet that fits me well...maybe I could just get the cord and adapter for my helmet to plug into the bike?
Went and looked at new helmets today, not cheap, at Cycle Gear in Mesa, AZ. Probably would be best off with bluetooth for both helmets?
I could use some guidance in this department.
And...........although I've ridden for years and different kinds of bike on road off road etc..............I know I could benefit from a riders course.
Anyone familiar with motorcycle training course in Arizona they could steer me to?
TIA,
Clary
