Hello all,

Having returned from Iraq a week ago, I was able to pick up my new 2010 Metallic Red Goldwing yesterday!!

I hadn't rode a bike of any kind for almost 20 years. Stops were a little unsettling. I have to practice when to put my feet on the ground when stopping. I noticed that I was putting them down a bit early probably due to my fear of it falling over on me.

I was surprised how much I remembered about riding a motorcycle. I made it from Southern Powersports in Chattanooga, TN to my home in Knoxville, TN without any major problems. The ride was very smooth and made me glad that I decided to buy the wing.

The folks at Southern Powersports were awesome. I had worked out what I wanted over the phone a week ago. When I arrived they had my accessories installed and the paper work was just waiting for my signature. Everything was setup as I asked and the price was as discussed over the phone. I strongly recommend them if you are in the market for a new bike. I bought the ABS model for $22,199 which is $4,400 off MSRP.

The best part is the rest of this week the weather is supposed to be in the 70s and 80s and NO RAIN. WOOT!!

Hope to see you guys on the road!

I can only imagine the feeling you got setting your feet on US soil again and riding your new Wing home.Yes, we appreciate your service here in Canada too, along with our Canadian troops in Afghanistan, our Countries are free because of our soldiers who are willing to pay the price of freedom. I'm a Vet myself. Enjoy your new ride on US and Canadian turf,we love our homeland,our men and women who serve, and our Freedom.

Welcome back soldier to the WORLD. THANK YOU for your service to our country. As the father of a son that just returned home from that little AFGAN conflict we're involved in, I know there's others just as relieved see you home.
By the Way, CONGRATS on the METALLIC RED choice of color for your WING. Mine has the same FASTEST color.
