New Girl in town

[goldwinggirl]

Well OK, I'm new here but not all that new to bikes. I've been messing with bikes, both with and without motors for a long time. My first car was a motorcycle, a 73 Kawasaki 500 H1C. I've had my 7 GL1000 goldwing for about eight years now.

Anyway, what with the economy and gas prices going up and up. I decided to shake the cobwebs off my old 79 goldwing and start using it again as my daily and only driver. I had a choice of getting rid of the car or the bike, because I could not afford both. So I did the only thing I could do. OK I might be a little crazy too, though I don't think so. Love the goldwing afterall....

Anyway just wanted to say hey... so HEY!!!

These are great old bikes and I understand about gas cost.
Mine needs to get back on the road so I can use it more often.

Welcome to the forums!

I guess I need a few more posts before the board will let me link a photo, but attached is a photo of the bike with some chic in front of it, and another of the bike as it sits now. I ride around Northern California, Sometimes further...

 

[dan filipi]

I think with the most recent change to stop spammers from posting links it is now preventing good members also until they have at least 5 posts.
I will look into this.

Not bad...not bad at all.....the bike is nice too....

nice blue '79 wing my niece had a black '79 and i rode it as often as i could. she rides an '82 nekked wing now and wants a 1200 interstate or aspy so she is saving up money now

 

[toytender01]

I cruze the back roads of central calif. from Modesto to Redding and coast to out in Nev.on any given day that I can. I start out then turn left or right and go fron there. When I can I try to make it a 200 to 350 mile ride. Favorite ride is through Marysville, Brownsville, Laport, Quincy, Oroville, Marysville, Home. Or any other direction I choose. I even let the wife ride along sometimes. :smilie_happy:

 

[goldwinggirl]

Lots Of just fantastic roads in California. I always look for the back roads to travel on. Less traffic, sometimes no traffic and scenic. Only way to travel on land.....

 

[toytender01]

The good part of riding Calif. is you just have to pick a direction, then keep an open mind (there I have no problem it's open from ear to ear. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:
