New to Site.

[ricconhan]

New to the site not so new to Goldwings and bikes in general, but always looking for accurate and new ways to take care of my older wing. I have a 1983 Honda GL 1100A Goldwing Aspencade with a CSC Friendship 1 attached for the grandchild we are raising. I am currently using this winter to go through the bike front to back doing routine and not so routine maintenance and upgrades.

WOW!!!!! thanks :thanks: for all the warm welcomes, greatly appreciated. it's always nice to feel welcomed into a new group, one always kind of wonders when you join a new group if you will be accepted or not. I just hope I can contribute to the group some information as well as gain from the vast amounts of knowledge that dwell within these pages. Here's a couple pics from where all the destruction happens. like the old saying goes if I die before my wife I just hope she does not sell all of my stuff for what I told her I spent on it.

I'm using this winter to go completely through everything on the bike from front to back, painting the sidecar and trailer to match the bike, putting the new sidecar attachment brackets from DMC on, and I am looking for a markland light bar like the one on my trunk or the lower bumper set with some modification. All and all I have my winter work lined up and hopefully I'll be done by spring.

for Pete's sakes don't tell my wife that....she thinks it's an extra storage room for her junk too.....in all honesty that is a 28 by 50 foot old hog house that I revamped. I come real close to burning it down when we first bought this acreage because the roof was almost gone and the side walls weren't much better. The structural wood was still in excellent condition which is the only reason I decided to remodel it. I did some measuring and used my imagination, figured out I could put an 8 foot by 8 foot overhead door plus a three foot walk in door next to it on one end so I decided to remodel it. put tin on the roof, tin on the sidewalls wrapped everything first its pretty much airtight, its insulated beyond any normal dwelling, way better than our house, in the winter time it never freezes in there and takes very little heat just keep it at 70 degrees. put new windows and rewired the whole thing, plumbed the entire shop with airline, basically made it the way I wanted it to be. My man cave away from the house which is the way I like it.

Great shed and project, can't wait to see it completed opcorn:
In Aug 2013 my brother and I rode up through the western side of Nebraska stopping at Maccas in Scotsbluff on our way up to the Black Hills, Sturgis and finally making Newcastle Wy for the night. :good:
