Hi, my name is dave and I recently purchased my first goldwing. I should have looked at the posts about what to look for when buying an oldwing before purchasing but what the heck, I was planning on replacing all that "stuff" anyway right.(Buyer beware should have entered my mind a little sooner in the equation!) Well at least anytime I take her out now I dont worry so much about what could go wrong. Not to mention it was love at first site anyway. I had been away from motorcycles for about 10 years(its funny how a couple serious wrecks can do that to a person if they let it!) but I decided to get back on the old horse. I had never ridden a goldwing before, mostly nighthawk and cbr 900 so its a little change of pace but i think its much more my style now. I have had my bike out of the shop for about two weeks and i've put a thousand miles on it so far and love it! The boxer motor really suprised me. I was expecting a much slower and more grunty motor but instead it has a much more exciting nature. It really encourages a lot of different riding experiences. Its almost like having a couple of motorcycles instead of just one.Not to mention buying and older goldwing is the absolute best way to economically ride a full dresser without paying and arm and a leg. I really appreciate this forum and look forward to visiting it often!
