[QUOTE="akolleth, post: 134063, member: 3987"] Just checking in as a new member. I recently at the ripe old age of 40 decided to indulge my lifetime desire to become a rider. So last month I took the Basic Rider Course. It was a blast and cemented the idea that riding is just so much damn fun. Could not believe how much fun it would be until I got to sit on that tiny Suzuki TU250 for 16 hours. For a mental picture I am 6'4" and 350 pounds. My instructor told me I made it look like a shriner bike :cool: So this brings me to my membership here. I am in the market for my first bike. After lots and lots of reading on various bikes and styles I decided I was really in love with the mid to late 1970's look of the Japanese bikes, especially Hondas. And their relative lower price point (not unreasonable it seems to find one under 1K) The one that really grabbed my attention like no other is the 75-77 Goldwing 1000. So beautiful and as I understand it built like a freakin tank. I have been scouring Craigslist and a few other sites for a suitable candidate, but I am willing to wait for the prefect one that fits in my very meager budget. And that bike will also go with my second lifetime dream, to build that sucker into a hack. I have been scouring sites for Goldwing sidecar info and so far the almost universal response is its one of the best tugs out there for sidecars. So the Classic Goldwings have the looks I love, the price I can afford, are pretty darn reliable, and are tailor made for pulling a sidecar. Hmmm... seems like a no brainer to me. So I hope to very soon (in the next few months) have my very own Classic Goldwing to show off. and sometime next summer when the weather breaks, I will hopefully be able to show off my new sidecar for it too.
