Hi from the UK

[Hondasteve]

Hello all rebuilding my 1100 wing engine at the Mo' whilst the roads are bad, still have a CB900F2 to ride if any good days should come my way........

 

[Neil]

Welcome from the states. Your 1100 looks to be an original standard? Like the color.

hello and welcome to CGWF hondasteve

 

[Hondasteve]

Thanks Neil, it is an original std 81' but painted in a later Honda Gold because I'm no fan of the limited colours the Gl1100 came in UK with.......

Welcome Steve, I always liked that Gold color, it goes so well with the black parts on the bike. Is it tough getting parts on that side of the pond?

~O~

Hello everybody thanks for the welcome, it's not too bad getting parts but then if it where easy it would be no fun, right? I'm having a bit of a problem with the correct colour main bearings but the parts will turn up.....and some panniers to make it into a "half dresser" would be nice but I wont get bent up if they dont turn up for a reasonable price, I just wait..

Welcome from Mid America.. North TEXAS.. nice gold color on the wing and I like the dual colors on the 900 also.. It is nice to be able to ride even when one bike is down..

Steve, I'd really like to see a right side view pic of your Candy Gold Standard up in the banner at the top of the page. :beg:

Welcome Steve , and I too love the Color , I have looked at a lot of Older Goldwing pictures for an idea what color I want to paint mine. I really like the Brandy Wine color , and I saw a Pearl White with silver trim that I really Like....... But, the Gold is Beautiful on your bike. So , now , I have 3 choices ... LOL

Hi, been looking for a decent picture of the Goldwing, don't have one at the moment, lost loads of pictures because of a harddrive failure, Wings been tucked up in the corner of the workshop since summer 08'. Taught me a lesson in backing up data.......not nice, the engine is on the bench fully stripped so it will be spring before it ventures back to the outside, dam cold hear at the moment although my son thought he was invincible enough to brave -4 on unsalted roads yesterday, the enthusiasm of youth is lost on the young? maybe, I should let him go out, then pick up at the end of the drive, of only to prove that dad could actually be right!

How can it be that cold in the U.K.? According to the global warming experts, it should be a balmy 78 degrees F with rising seas.

Oh yeah, the "experts" have been lying about the data all along. :read: :smilie_happy:

~O~

I know, it's been colder the last few winters than it's been for some time here, channel tunnel not running, trains delayed, airports delayed, we only need a couple of -2's or lower around 27 to you guy's......and the country gets thrown into chaos, which means pretty much every year for short periods. Oxfordshire (the county i live in) has been around 0c (34f) for some time......if you remember they where predicting the coming of a new ice-age 15-20 years ago....I blame the Mayans.....
