Bought a Goldwing Luxury late last year and am having it transformed into a Trike. Planning on going around Tasmania on it. Was sold on it when a friend took me for a spin on his new GW so now am a little nervous! Will let you know what it is like when I pick it up in May. Have been looking at the States and there are a lot of Trikes. Cheers Bron

Welcome, the trike will take some getting used to but after awhile it will be like you rode it all your life.
Thanks.
Thanks to all. I am living in Canberra at the moment but visited Tassie a couple if years ago for two weeks and just loved it. From that trip said to my partner would love to do it on a bike. Saw a chap in my previous home on a Goldwing Trike and that was when the seed was planted. A friend from work bought the new Luxury, took me for a ride and that was the sealant! I am going from a Kawasaki 900 cruiser to this hence my nervousness. When i work out to place a photo I will post one. It is seriously drooling material. Just fantatstic. I am so looking forward to chatting to you all and hearing about your riding experiences.
In fact maybe one of you can advise on best comms set for a Norton lift up face and a Shoei full face. That is the only thing missing at this stage. Bron

A lot of riders use the J&M audio for their Wings. Comes in a couple of different flavors. A standard and a high fidelity version. Check out their stuff at:In fact maybe one of you can advise on best comms set for a Norton lift up face and a Shoei full face. That is the only thing missing at this stage. Bron

Welcome from central Mississippi. I worked with a guy from Tasmania on a wildfire in Oregon once. He was sure a hoot to work with. Great way of expressing himself that made me think about it for a minute before I started laughing. One morning he said he was all "buggered and nakid", took some explanation on his part before I got it....
Thanks Charlie.
Have heard the J&M is a good brand. Have also looked at Tomcat Distributions at the HS G110 and HS G130 so will do some research. Appreciate help. Bron
Thanks Charlie.
Thanks for that. I must say the Taswegians are a strange bloody lot but great people on the whole. Looking forward to getting use the the Goldwing though am a little nervous as is somewhat bigger than my 900. I am told I will get use to it. Cheers from Down Under

Welcome along mate. You are only 2 days ride away. We are planning to go to Canberra later in the year.There is nothing like tring to find your way around Canberra. You can see where you want to go, but just can't get there. But when you get use to it, the traffic flows well. One of the big problems is to get time off when my wife is not busy. We have a few Aussie on the forum but I think you are the closest to me. Eric

I have a new product I am selling for trikes. I'm sure you will want to add this safety accessory to your new trike:

Thanks Charlie.
I collect mine in May as having converted to a Trike. I want to do a trip around Tassie before venturing off around Australia. A lot of planning to do first so not going to happen in the next 12 months. I am looking forward to getting on it as was given the opportunity of going pillion on a friends Goldwing Luxury and fell in love with it. What a beautiful piece of machinery. Anyway will be something to get used to.
Canberra is not so difficult to get around. It all goes around in one big block where you always come back to where you started. Three distinct markers is the Geiser in Lake Burley Griffen, Parliament House and the Telstra Tower. Head towards any of them and you will find your way in to Town. You honestly can't get lost! I hope you enjoy the trip when you get over here. Let me know when in town, and if not away with work then happy to show you some of the good spots to see. Take care. Bron
Hi Eric, have been reading your blog about you heading off to the Grampians. What a lovely part of SA that is. I am sure you will enjoy it in the comfort of the wing. I take it your wife enjoys the ride as well or does she have her own bike?

Our lovely, personal, informative and humorous member " trike lady " not only rides on a trike, she drives it.
To all Goldwingers. I collected the Trike end of June and what a beauty! Champion Kit exported from the USA and transformed 1800 into a beauty. It is a bit of a magnet which I was warned about as we don't have too many out here and the ride back home caught the eye of a lot of folk. It is a beautiful ride and can't wait for the dryer weather and somewhat warmer to get out and about. Mind you the ride back home was wet but was wonderfully dry and warm! Pillion was so comfy she fell asleep! Anyway, some trips to be planned. Take care and will keep you up to date as to what I get up to. Trike Lady.
