Hello fellow wingers! Bought my 2nd wing today, 1st one was 9 yrs ago and was totaled when a lady turned left in front of me.
Anyway I bought a 89 GL1500 with 140XXX miles and in pretty great shape. I'm the fourth owner or so I'm told. I put about 30-40 miles on it this afternoon and realized how much i've missed riding.
With its age, it needs so TLC but nothing big. Thinking of a new paint job in a bright red. Probably won't get any more lights than it has now but that remains to be seen. I hate a goddy looking bike because some one put to much on it.
Will try and get pic's tomorrow after i get her cleaned up a bit PO had it in a barn and its got a lot of dust and some bird poo that need cleaned off.
A bit about me, well i started mechanicing in high school and got burned out. So i spent 6yrs on the streets as a Police Officer, then my wife and i decided to adopt a couple, 3 to be exact, drug babies. Well i left the force to go back to mechanicing and making better money to support the family.
I'm a diesel mechanic so i may end up asking lots of questions as i've not worked on bikes a lot.
Previous wing was a 86 interstate.
