Ok...so maybe I made a mistake, only time will tell. Saw an add on Craigslist for a Honda Goldwing, so I went and took a look. Got a little carried away, and now I own it.
It is a 1982 GL1100, and has about 57,000 miles on it.
What next? The maintenance records end at about 44,000 miles, the last owner swore he did the maintenance, but just didnt write it down. The bike looks pretty good, considering the mileage, has never been laid down, etc. But What do I have to do to keep this monster purring for another 57,000 miles?
There don't seem to be any issues with it. I noticed a bit of oil on the bottom, but it looks like it is seeping around the oil change plug. I will change the oil this week. What else should I change? Which filters, etc???
I remember sitting on one of these when they were brand new at a Honda shop. Have not ridden for many years but used to love it. The wife is being pretty open-minded all things considered.
