Hello members. I live in the ski resort of Sun Peaks, in British Columbia. I just purchased an 08 GL1800 with 1700 miles on the odo. It'll be shipped out later this month, to be picked up in Seattle and driven home.

This is my second wing, my first was a 1000 which I bought in 86'.

I just sold my last bike which was a 2000 Indian Chief, and am looking forward to the comfort, style, and engineering advantages of the Wing. My wife is looking forward to a more comfortable passenger ride.

I was hoping to download an owner's manual to familiarize myself with the Wing before it's delivered, and was a bit disappointed to not find a free version. I don't want to buy, as I will get a manual when the bike is delivered, but I won't have too much time to read it at the freight dock before I drive away.

I'll try to post a couple of photos after I get the bike. My other ride is a new modified 79' Corvette.

Looking forward to participating on this forum.

Cheers

Ed

Welcome Ed to the GWOF from Pennsylvania and congrats on your new Wing.

Check here for the owners manual. It says it's for a 2009, but there are only a few differences between the 2008 and 2009. Things like TPMS come to mind. Ride safe and enjoy..

Welcome along Ed. Going to be in your neck of the woods next w/e for the Victoria Days GWRRA gig in Salmon Arm. Will you have your bike that soon? I'll likely take the Yellowhead down there and return via the Icefields Parkway to make use of my Parks Pass. Maybe we can cross paths since I'll be so close by.

Thanks for the thought. Unfortunately no bike for the upcoming w/e. I sent the deposit to Iowa dealer 9 days ago and haven't even received the paperwork yet. Bike will likely arrive early June. Wish I could have joined you. Sounds like fun. Going to Vancouver this w/e to pick up wife's new toy, 07' Pontiac Solstice.

If you're in the neighbourhood after Sunday give a call 250-578-8309

Have fun, ride safe.

Thank you very much Ron. I hadn't even thought about it yet, but I will definitely hook up with the local GWRRA. I've entered Kirk's name and affiliation in my list of contacts and will definitely give him a call once I get the bike licensed in Canada. I'm guessing you might get up this way once in a while yourself. If so, we'll probably hook up as well.

We try to get up to Kamloops a few times a year. Last summer we spent 4 days chasing Kirks tail light around the area. Some great riding in that area, even rode up to the Peaks one day. Got picture of us in the BIG Chair.
Let us know when you come through here with your new wing.
