Hello All, I have recently purchased a 2000 Goldwing 1500. Seems to be a great bike and |I am looking forward to putting some Kilometers on it. I have had it a couple weeks and have put approximately 1200 kms on it. It is originally an American bike so the Miles Per hour is prominently displayed, not a huge issue for an old fart that used to life with MPH before we switched. I have wanted a Goldwing since I got my license in 1979. My first Bike was 1971 CB750 with what was called a "Wind Jammer" fairing. I loved that bike, it had air horns installed and |I loved scaring the poop out of people with those.
I do have a couple questions, trying to make my ride a bit more comfortable for my wife and me. is there a decent set of Bluetooth head phones I can set up that will work well when riding, so my wife can give me directions.....or make comments on my lack of operating skills. (she's good back there, I'm just trying to be funny) I would also like some way of mounting my cell phone and a drink holder, my coffee cup sits precariously in the left fairing pouch on my ride to work, there has to be a better way.
I am a bit curious on the gas mileage. I have been using premium and getting roughly 120-140 miles out of a tank of gas, seems poor, but I do not really have an idea what I was to expect, I was just told that it was horrible for the 1500?
I'm looking forward to chatting with others and riding through the summer and hopefully into the fall, good to meet you all!
