Hi -
My name is Pete, I've been riding mostly cruisers for just about 25 years and finally decided that I needed something a little more comfortable.
With this in mind I picked up my first Goldwing just this past Monday evening. I ended up getting a leftover 2008 loaded (No Airbag) and I have to say that I absolutely love it. While I loved my cruisers (my last one was a 2006 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100C2) I only enjoyed riding them relatively short distances with my new GoldWing I have the desire to do much farther then ever before. I can see how people refer to these as the luxury liners or Cadillac of motorcycles.
Obviously the difference between my cruisers and my Goldwing is night and day but I can see myself going on some long, long rides.
As soon as I bought the bike I looked for different groups / forums and found this one. Now that I have the new bike I am hoping that I will be able to pick up some good tips as to what equipment I should add and what I should avoid.
Here's to hoping that I continue to enjoy my new purchase for many years to come.
