Hello, all you Oldwingers! My name is Steve Somers and I'm happy to have found this forum. I recently "adopted" a '77 Wing from my father-in-law who had it for a relatively short time and can no longer ride. So, I'm doing additional cleanup and maintenance as well as some minor updates. I look forward to being able to mingle among the topics for help and to give help where I can.
This situation with the '77 Wing is particularly meaningful for me because I've always been a Honda rider. My first bike was a 150cc "Dream" that my father bought new for me in 1965. In 1972, I graduated to a used 1970 CB750 which I owned five years. And in 1977, I bought a new '77 Goldwing! I owned that bike five years and sold it... and have had feelings of longing and regret here and there over the years.
So, ironically, I get another bike finally and lo' it's another '77 Wing just like the one I had back then. See attached pics. I look forward to interacting, riding, and hopefully meeting some of you down the road. Cheers.
