I would like say hi to everyone here at the goldwing site I am a goldwing owner once again, my previous wing was 87 gl1200 Aspencade that I owned and loved for several years, but had to sell for financial reasons, and now I am a wing owner again, but this time I went naked, a naked goldwing that is, a 78 gl1000 that I bought with intention of restoring and fixing it, maybe customizing it a little to my liking but mostly keeping it stock and naked. my 78 gl1000 at present has some cosmetic and mechanical issues but slowly it will be resolved, I will post some pictures of the bike soon. Joe

Hello joeski! If your handle name implies your heritage, myself and WA9FWT are of " ski " lineage also. JoePhoenix is also a classic wing restorer. Check the General Discussion Forum for posts by him. In 1978 I was riding a Harley 1200 SuperGlide , so seeing bikes from that era is always a nostalgic pleasure for me , especially one that is still going. I'm sure that AMF Harley is scrap metal. If it isn't, it should be. Make yourself at home.

hello and welcome to GWOF joeski. you know untill i rode my nieces '79 wing i really didn't care much for 1000 wings but was forced to ride it from toledo to detroit for her

I have been test riding my naked wing around my neighborhood, "for 32 year old bike it handles nice it still has some get up and go left in it" once I put some TLC in to it, it will still be on the road for years to come.

See here in Northeast Pa. there are a lot of people of Lithuanian & Polish decent so I just thought that was his last name.

Welcome Joeski and I too have had an ache for a GL1000 since I first sat on one in a showroom when they first appeared. If I ever finish all the stuff I have on my plate I'm gonna look for one to do up.

Welcome from one old pole here in WIS.I bet you can't wait until you get that new ride under you once again. I have my self been getting a old 1982 A in shape for the comming season.Just today , I took out the starter and rebuilt it.Didn't need parts, but after a good cleaning it sure turned the engine over faster.Last couple of days, a person could ride,but now they say by the week end snow again.
