[QUOTE="bk2valve, post: 41654, member: 95"] Hi Ned, Welcome....I'm a 67 year old rider and have gone to sidecaring with my 83 GL1100. If you are strong and in pretty good shape the solo wing is a good bet although I find that a naked wing is much more manageable for myself. A naked wing has all the weight down low and is very nimble and easy to ride at any speed. Once you have all the extra weight up high with fiberglass and plastic luggage and shiny stuff up high, I find it becomes much less manageable. Many of our fellows on here will disagree I am sure. I do have spinal issues and weak arms due to nerve damage as well as emphysema so I have come to the point in my life that if I can't pick the bike up by myself, I don't own it. I live in a small town and ride a Honda CT110 around town...although many people here use bicycles and I really should too...I am just kinda lazy.. My wife and I both are both of the multibike school. We think there is no one bike that does it all...If I had to choose and really have only one, it would be a Honda Transalp.....just my opinion though.. Brian in NM [/QUOTE]
