Hi guys, new to the forum, been riding for over 30 years. Mostly HD's. had a 78 GW with the Vetter package back when. It was a great bike and I had it for years. Thinkin on gettin another GW, cant afford new or lightly used, not working and on a fixed income. So I'm looking for a "deal" on a good used GW, I've always loved the look of the 1200 and there priced in my range. Working a deal on one right now....posted in general discussion......VERY mechanical so I can fix alot of things........we'll see.

Hi, I'm Alec (previously mispelled) and welcome to the forum.
I have no expertise on 1200s but this guy is one of the ones who knows them best.
You have come to the right place. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Hey, you don't have to be able to spell to work on bikes! Look at all the HD riders out there.
(I know I'll catch he** for this.)

No biggy! I dont care what anyone rides, I figure if you have the balls to throw you leg over 2 wheels and ride...........your good in my book. I know that I dont have a wing yet, but in my book there are only 2 brands that I will ride, HD and Honda. Now that I'm gettin older, touring machines seem to be my ride of choice, there more comfy and big like I am now. Had about 12 Honda's over the years along with 6 HD's, I'm just an old biker now, and just want to ride, and HD's and GW's are what I like. In a perfect world I would probably have 1 of each, but my present finacial status wont let that happen. I'm just getting ready to turn in my 09 FLHTC since I cant afford the payments since I got laid off in March. I can tell you....NOBODY wants to hire a 53 year old these days. So it looks like I'll be on unemployment till it runs out and then be forced to retire early. Not what I really planned on, but not really devistating either. It just forced me to change plans. I thought that I would have the HD paid off about the time I was gunna retire. So I will retire a few years earlier than I planned, but I will always have a bike, for as long as I can swing a leg over one. When I cant I will probably go to a trike.........gotta be "in the wind" to be happy.Sorry.
