Hey guys, i actually have 2 goldwings:

a 1985 with 68k miles

and a 1994 with 188k miles.

i have a question, the '94 runs good but blows out smoke, i Think it is a blue hue (signifying oil) however just out of curiosity how common is it for the goldwing to blow a headgasket? and also is it usually rings causing oil seeping through or do these have valve boots like a chevy? (sorry i'm a newb to the goldwing thing, but i do like how it rides!)

teal one is the 94, blue is the 85...though i'm sure you guys could have figured that one.

... Howdy ... Does It Smoke On The Side Stand Or Center Stand Or Both ??? Happy Trails ...

hey,
it smoked REALLY bad when i drove it home. but since then i found out it's been sitting for over a year. now it just puffs out a little smoke on higher revs, smokes on side stand and upright. coolant is clean, oil is clean. it's just simply some blowby, i was alarmed when i first drove it but it's cleaned up 95%. i've only put 3 miles on it. i think i'm going to sell my '85 for $1600 if you guys know anyone (i'm in phoenix). the '94 just has way more toys on it than the 85!

azgoldwing: I should be comming out to Phoenix in mid March. The folks live in Sun City. I rent a Harley from Arrowhead in Peoria and do a couple day trips. I'm going to check on Goldwing rentals this time. Like to do a day trip south to Tombstone, etc. Wouldn't mind a tour guide..........

first thought that comes to my mind is, only ride a bike here if you're ready to die.

second thought is, while that sounds fun, beyond giving a tour of impound yards in the valley, i don't know much more beyond that haha. i don't get out to often besides my regular places.
