Oh the days of kick starting a bike, aren't we glad those days are gone in the most part.
What did you do to your Wing today ?

Have missed the kick start since my first bike. :roll: The idea of a kick start for a back up was a great thought, :yes: getting rid of it was not!!! :rant:

Very nice![url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=174065#p174065:6qf12v4b said:CRAFTMAN6001 » Yesterday, 1:33 pm[/url]":6qf12v4b]
Went over to Naples and picked up my new bike. She is a 88 1500 with 31k totally gone through. Pages of work orders and pictures. Most happy when doing my wing thing..! Been riding my 77 a lot. The 77 runs better than my 78. So it looks like I'll have two to tag this year.. Have a great day.
Any more pics?
yes very nice

WooHoo new ride, Congratulations! :Egyptian: Do you like it? (that's a silly question)
I didn't do anything on the wing but I sold the kid's 86 Honda Rebel and met fellow CGWinger dadster to look at his sidecar and shoot the breeze about Goldwings. I'm thinking that sidecar is too much for my 81 GL1100 with no reverse. I need to poke around for more knowledge on the sidecar forum.

I went out for a couple hours with my buddy on his '84 wing, it never ceases to amaze me with all the bikes out there, which ones get the attention in a parking lot? That's right, the two old Goldwings.

Kinda rare anymore, :hihihi: many people are amazed at the sight of a standard, :shock:they never knew they made such a Goldwing. :nea:
Put an external switch on a stereo that wasn't designed for one. Now I don't always need to open the gas tank door to turn on the stereo.

Washed the Valk. Trust me that was quite an event. I rarely ever wash any vehicle.

I just spent a few hours polishing the chrome. How in the world did I manage to get so much chrome on one bike? I'll be riding it to work.[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=174301#p174301:3mhbcz2w said:

The rear rack on the Valkyrie is tiny and the bag that goes on it is expandable so I purchased a nylon cutting board and covered it is some marine carpet and cable tied it on.
