Hello, I’m a new owner of a 2010 Gold Wing along with my 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner. The Gold Wing is “our” bike, purchased so that my wife (of 23 years) will ride when I go on long trips. We ride with a local GWRRA group which we joined after moving up to central Mississippi from the Gulf Coast a year ago. The Stratoliner is “my” bike for every day riding and short to medium distances. Only owned the Wing for a month and work has kept me away for ½ that time and with all the rain lately not many miles on it as yet. It does ride nice and I’m getting used to it.

Thank you everyone, and Merry Christmas.
Glazeguy, it rides more upright with your feet underneath you. Some of the people I ride with have put risers on the handlebars to raise them up a little and some have put on floorboards. I got on the Yamaha yesterday for a short ride and it sits a lot different. I think the small back support on the Wing will help me. With your back problems you may want to add a backrest like a lot of people do.

Mark, welcome to the site. Hope you had a nice Christmas. My wife is my riding partner as well & we cover plenty of ground. Because we are each others best friends we mostly ride by ourselves, only occasionaly riding with some friends & family. Truly a mellow time on the road with the woman you love. You guys should have a blast.
