New to Goldwing's, and this site so hopefully this went in the correct spot. It's my 6th bike and just now my wife said aren't those things dangerous? I bought a 1997 GL 1500, red and very sharp looking for fun as I near retirement. A friend did my pre-buy inspection and test drive. All seemed exactly as advertised and I should have it home tomorrow. I was away from motorcycles for 9 years so I'll take it slow getting back in the saddle. Now my wife wants me to take her out for ice-cream on the bike once I am comfortable with it. High risk Ice cream? I don't go fast... anymore.

Hello Group, I just bought my first Honda and my first Goldwing 2008 HPN 27,000 miles. First Honda I have ever owned, I traded in a 2009 Kawasaki Voyager that was LOUD and Not smooth. So happy to be riding smooth and quiet after 5 years and 22,000 miles on the Voyager. I am a 67 year old retired school bus driver from Bothell, Wa. and looking forward to some good rides. I have always owned Yamaha's and Kawasaki's first Honda and after a week I'm in love! Now I need some farkles!

Hello, literally just bought a 1983 GL1100 today. Doesn't run, been sitting for a few years. Has the add on trike kit. Previous owner says he bought it as a project and never got around to work on it and was out of storage space so he needed to get rid of it. Seats are in great shape and the bike is fair over all. Needs a good cleaning.
Current plans are to put a bit of oil in each cylinder, drain the gas tank, clean and rebuild the carbs, clean the tank if needed. Then try to start it up. We'll see. Worth the $700 I paid with the trike kit alone.
Decided to join as I'm 100% new to honda bikes and will likely have some tech questions. I currently have an 02 1200 Sportster which I've had for a few years. So, overall, I'm pretty new to bikes all together.
