:moped: Riding since 1979. In 1982, age 19, went to a Honda dealer and saw a 1979 CBX beside a 1979 goldwing......hemmed and hawed......which seat do I take (Rebecca Black inference).....guess which bike the 19 year old bought. By the way, in 1982, the Honda CBX-Z could actually go 155 MPH (238 kmh). I think that the statute of limitations has expired on speeding tickets.
Fast forward to 2013, another proverbial kick at the cat. found a 1979 goldwing, 4600 original kms, black on black on black, with a whole whack of chrome, Vetter ware.....cycle sound, king queen touring seat, as new, and gorgeous. Lots of looks and questions when I ride. Just like being at the dealership back in '82. Bought it up, first week I owned it I finally broke it in, over 5K now.....drove 906 kms dawn to dusk. I invoked midlife crisis to buy it, though.....wife said I had enough bikes....Silverwing aside, Gold wing better.
