new to the forum, just wanted to say hi.

[Arien]

Hello everyone, thought I would drop in and say hello to all. I have a 1986 1200 Honda Aspencade, which stays busy on tour rides. The weather is perfect for the rides here in Arizona this time of the year.

 

[scdmarx]

COOL! What part of AZ are you from? I used to ride from Cave Creek to Wickenburg often when I was there.

Thanks everyone..... from Phoenix, Arizona. Yup ...alot of motorcycles pass thru the town of Wickenburg, but they have built a freeway bypass, so the majority of traffic no longer go through the town. But it is still a great ride to take. I'll start posting some pic's of Az if you like.

Hello and welcome from michigan.

 

[Joep]

almost looks like OLD TUCSON.... was that also used as a movie lot??

 

[Arien]

Hi Joep, as to the pictures above, some are in a little mining town called "Goldfield" ghost town, I believe it was built in the 1890's, the residents mined for gold. The pictures showing the numerous people are in this rebuilt (1988) town and I'm sure if movies were made from it . Click on the links below for more information;

[Arien]

Thank you Sledge, I get alot of compliments of the colors when I pull up in a parking lot.

I have my owners manual, and gives out these color codes pertaining to my bike
(1985 GL1200 Goldwing, Aspencade);

yr-125-m (sandy beige metallic)

yr-125-n ( brown metallic)

Most paint stores/mc dealerships can mix the paint up for you with these codes.

Good luck...

 

[sledge]

your welcome Arien , and thanks for the codes, but I just painted mine a few days ago . it's not the Same Colors but kinda close ........ I love the Colors on yours ......is that Orignal Paint on yours ??? or painted back Orignal colors ???

 

[Arien]

OK Sledge...I'm sure it turned out great...are you going to post some pictures soon of your new paint job?
As for my bike, yes , it is the original paint job, the bike has never been layed down and always garage kept, by myself and previous owners (2).

 

[sledge]

Yeah I'm gonna post some pictures when I get the Pin Stripping and get it on it . they said 5 to 7 days for the Pin Stripping to come in , and we are going Camping Thur. through Sun.... so......maybe by the middle of next week. ........ thats nice that your bike is that nice after all these years.. I think it's beautiful .
