Wing Formation

[Billy Budd]

125 mile RTE to day on the Wing with two friends............

I'll take the NC out tomorrow weather permitting.

 

[Rocker66]

If I had that bike would find it very difficult to leave it in the garage and take the NC out

 

[danrev]

Do you get paid for riding BB?

 

[Billy Budd]

You guys have to understand that every motorcycle is different. Ride what you have and enjoy it. The Wing is something I waited many years to get, all good things come to those who wait.

I have had 5 goldwings , great machines. 2 of which were gl1800's. handling will surprise many

We got pretty zoomy in the twisties on the way home. The GL1800 is very agile for large bike. Cold and rainy here today the NC700X may sit in the garage today

Now that is a twist, I may be able to get mine out of the garage for a ride today. Sorry about the bad weather.

Iwas certainly pleasently surprised when I took a GL1800 out on test. The other thing I loved was how easy it was to get my feet down despite my short legs Things have certainly come a long way since my original GL1000 and the GL1100s I had. I can remember when people would stop and admire my GL1100 Aspencade

thanks for all the old pics, sure brings back allot of memory's, i always loved all those old fairings designs like the one on the dunstall, cb750f and one the goldwings i can not tell you how many vetter fairings and bags i installed in the early seventies. dale

 

[Rocker66]

I got the Vetter equipment at a very discounted price due to the fact that the importer wanted a bike to use for display purposes at the national M/C show which in those days was held at Olympia in London. They contacted the GWOCGB who because I had only bought the bike new a few days previously put me in touch. The result was my bike ended up on the display stand with all the gear fitted including the consol holding the cassette deck and speakers. This was quite advanced for a bike in those days

Oh yeah, the old vetter radio dash. My 83 interstate had one of those. It's amazing what a difference a few decades make.


My 1983 Gold Wing:

My 2012 Gold Wing (after a Montana mud bath):

Really makes you stop and think what a few more decades will bring.
