Just got back frpm the local Goldwing show at our Mall. Only about a dozen bikes, but sure made me want one more. Got a couple of leads on a couple of used bikes to check on. One is a 1986 Interstate, with 25,000 miles. I actually had called this guy last week. Foun out at the show that this guy just bought a new 2010, and just needs to get rid of his old one. When I talked to him on the phone, he told me that he is asking $3900, but for me to come and make him an offer. The guys that I talked to at the show today know the guy, and they say it is a very nice bike. Problem is, my MAX is $3000. Hopefully going to look at it today.

Times like these we need to have a slush fund account here that members can draw from. Get us a picture.

Sounds a little steep to me.
Low mileage is just as bad as high mileage!!!! 1000 miles average per year, wow!!!! Be careful.

Chop, methinks I would have depleted the reservoir some time ago

I wish we had a local Goldwing show...Good luck on the offer. I would think it was a bit high as well.

By the looks of your avatar you wouldn't have spent it on the bike . What did you squander your fortune on ?

Ahh, that's a dated pic of the Wing. It is now blinged with vinyl siding c/w pressure treated cruising pegs.
Chromed fire extinguisher is on my wish list .

I HAVE PLENTY OF SLUSH BUT NO FUNDS lol!!! The price actually sounds steep to me! $3000 sounds fair if it is in pristine shape!! Check it out real good and see if he has the Maintenance records!!!

Doesn't mean anything. It's Saturday. Unless you live in Waterbury VT, the owner may be out riding.

Oh I know. Wife and I were going to Rochester shopping today, about an hour away. The bike was in a town about half way there, so I figured I might as wel see if he was home, so I called him before i left, and left him a messege, telling him that if they were going to be around, I was going to be in the area, and I would like to stop and look at it. On the way home, I stopped in the town where it was, and called him again, but he was still not home. Who knows, maybe he was at the show at our mall? I will keep trying.
