Hi. This looks like a great forum. I purchased my first goldwing, a 1991 Interstate with 62,900 miles on it last month for riding on the road. I am not sure how far I want to ride it on trips. I don't like riding in the heat, cold, or rain. Hmmmm. I guess I am a fair weather rider. I live in West Texas and this spring it has been windy, so not much riding.
I bought this one from a mechanic who owned it 7 years, and told me he had taken a trip to Tucson on it. He said he check it out before he sold it to me, and it is supposed to be in road condition. Any tips before I ride it very far?
I am older (66) and weigh 170 lbs. The only thing that scares me about the wing is when I come to a stop. Riding it is a pleasure. Any tips about stopping the monster?
Thanks for any advice for a newby with big bikes. I also own a 1980 Kawasaki KZ1000 that is a pleasure to ride.
