Hi everyone.

Just bought my first Goldwing after 34 years of riding other makes. Loving it. So comfortable and my other half loves the comfort. Got plans to do lots of touring. We did California on an Electraglide last year and that was amazing. Hope you are all looking forward to this years riding. Will be on here checking in regularly, so hope to make friends with lots of you. Anyone else in the UK, then let me know.

Rick

Welcome from Pennsylvania and congrats on your new Wing. What year/model did you get? You have a few other members from your country on here and I'm sure they will be welcoming you shortly. Ride safe and enjoy the forum..

Its a 1999 GL1500SE in black. I've uploaded some pics. Even though it is 12 years old, it only had 15,600 genuine miles on it. I am really pleased with it. I've just moved from a BMW K1200S and the difference is obviously stark. Both great bikes, but such different animals. I love the ultimate comfort of the Wing.

Our hope is that one day a Chunnel will link our two countries together.

hello rick, welcome to GWOF

Welcome from another newbie!

Welcome aboard Rick. I just posted my first message less than a week ago. I also bought a 1998 1500SE last summer, but haven't taken it on a decent ride yet (for many reasons). Looking forward to this riding season.

We have some dear friends who live in Sussex and have visited your country twice to see them. They come over here often too. We've traveled on the east and west coast of together over the years. We live in NC, home of our country's most beautiful motorcycling road (watch the trouble that statement causes), the Blue Ridge Parkway. It sounds like you get over here often; if you would like to ride on the east coast, let me know; maybe we can put a tour together with you.

Later, Richard

Don't get over to the US as often as I'd like, Richard. But I do love the big bikes on the big roads. Got to do some touring in Europe for the next couple years while I save for the next big trip over there
Let me know if you are over here next and maybe could meet up for a beer.

My first Wing was a 1998 Red GL1500 SE. Loved that bike..
