Hello, GWOF, new to the forum but not new to owning a GW. A little about me: I recently purchased a "new to me" 2003 GL 1800 and have previously owned a 1996 GL 1500 Asp. Really love the 1800 for all of the reasons I have read current owners comment on this forum. I had to sell the GL 1500 to afford grad school and some life cycle transitions and had about a 9 yr stretch with no MC at all. After settling down a little with jobs/career, kids...life, I finally talked my wife into allowing me to buy the 1800.
After buying the 1800 I knew I didnt want have to replace my tires every 10,000 miles, as I have in the past. So, after doing some research and reading many comments on this forum and other forums, I decided to go "darkside" and use a car tire for the rear tire. After approx 2K miles, I can say it has already paid off with great results. I still may have to replace the front tire after 10K, but, oh well.
Anyway, great to be a part of this forum!
