Traveling for work at the moment but I have been working with Honda of Russelville Arkansas for about a week on a new wing.
After a life time of admiring the Goldwing from afar, I will be picking up one of my own on the 29th.
2012 Navi / XM model, red.
Dealer is installing passenger arm rests, rider back rest, floor boards with heel toe shifter, and fog lights.
I will ride in and trade in my current ride a VTX 1800T and ride out in style on the new wing.
300 mile return trip on a new wing.
As near as I can tell from reading, I shouldnt have much break in to worry about. No rapid accelerations, avoid long distances at the same speed. Anything else?
I have several friends that ride cruisers like the VTX, and they have all stated that they didnt think I was old enough for a Goldwing. "They are an old persons bike" is a common statement.
I am 45.
I respond with "Why should I wait until I retire to expect both comfort and power from my ride?"
Seems like a good message board. Looking forward to learning from others as the relationship between me and my new girl grows.
