My Bike Models
1980 GL1100, 1982 GL1100
good day ladies and gentlemen,
after many years of driving pretty much everything with wheels,... hitting 200mph twice on the german "autobahn" and finding new cursing words for my ex harley.... i finally arrived at the bike that started it all.
i found my first gold wing in 15 boxes. 1980 GL1100 black ,.. 1 owner ,.. 47000km and stripped down to the frame. i am restoring it right now and hope to have it driving next summer. she is one of the naked models.
my 1982 GL1100 is a survivor,... 38000 km ,.. one owner and in like new condition,.. naked version in black,..all documentation since new,.. she is sitting in my man cave for the canadian winter and she is running like leaving the show room.
i am looking for a 1981 Interstate in black to have a matching set.
i am a 60.s generation motorbike mechanic and specialized in 2stroke engines, magnetos, carburators and spoke wheels,.... start getting used to gold wings and i am trying to save as much 70s and 80s "big-bangers" as i can. beside the Gold Wing i have a Yamaha XS1100 Midnight Special on the lift that i am restoring. i also have a fully customized Kawasaki Vulcan and a 2016 Ural Retro with Side Car.
after reading through your posts i see that there are quite a few very good mechanics around and i hope that there might be a topic i am able to contribute,..
thank you for having me.

Very nice bike, you are very fortunate, to find one in this shape.
Thank you.
I guess I am. This bike was owned from the beginning by a older gentleman that unfortunately died . He kept all documents including old original pictures. The pictures i posted are not showing her real beauty. I found her sitting in the living room from a family friend and had to have her. And after a while of negotiation i was able to convince them that she will be in good hands with me.
