Paul here in Dayton, Ohio first got into Goldwings in 2003 when i purchased i1982 GL1100 standard naked wing. Added saddle bags trunk fairing all Hondaline. got tired of the fairing changed to a Memphis Fats windshield recently added a terraplane sidecar and vetter V fairing. I've owned gl1200, (2) gl1500 but always kept my GL1100 been a fun bike and plan to keep it till i can't ride anymore. At 61 I figure i have a minimum of 20 more riding years have GWRRA friends riding into their 80's and still on two wheels. When i get a chance i'll post a few pics
