Sad. Prayers for his family and wife. Rode with him on the last ride I organized through OR. He was a great guy.

👍 Thanks Pauly

The Goldwing has plenty of hustle for my 2 up passenger. Ame was actually starting to ease into riding a faster pace then a buddy went and wrecked his bike recently. Now if I break 65mph my music gets interrupted by my wife telling me I need to slow down 🤦‍♂️. I just need to convince her I need a bike for solo trips. Then I can get something capable of doing what I want it to. Thanks for the offer. I’m always scared to ride others stuff. I’m nervous about breaking somebody’s stuff. Care less about breaking my own because I’ll either fix it or just stuff it in a corner and forget about it. Hope you’re doing well.

I just voted a second time. Quite the fish there Dan.

I’m doing well Dan. Glad you’re getting a break and a chance to do what you enjoy. I miss the days of riding sport bikes with you and Doc.

Well you got at least 1 vote from it 🤷‍♂️. Hope you’re doing well Dan.

What you have here is my Super Sport Goldwing. She is fast, agile, corners like she’s on rails, and stops on a dime. NOT!!! I took a solo trip of the same route my wife and I went on last weekend just at a different pace. Nobody poking, squeezing my ribs etc. to slow down. It’s the most I’ve been engaged on a ride in a while. I miss having a sport bike. I tried to ride it like it was a sport bike but I’m not sure it liked it. Lots of near redline rpm’s and a time or 2 on the rev limiter 🤷‍♂️. Still in one piece and running though Someday soon I’ll get a more competent bike. Just had to drop 5k on a transmission rebuild for the Trans Am. Sadly that rebuild has issues and has to go back to the builder. Hope you guys are doing well.

You’re definitely braver than I am. I would’ve pulled the transmission and took it to a shop.

Pauly it was great to catch up. So appreciate your kindness. Once again OR peeps are top notch people. Thanks again.

Thanks Pauly, I think you’re about an hour from me. I could probably make it down to your place most evenings or on a Saturday. I know you’re out of town at times for work. Let me know what works for you.

My daughter said she would love to take it off your hands if you’re okay with that.

Hey Pauly, my daughter is talking about getting a bike. She may be interested in this. I forwarded it to her. I’ll wait to see what she says.

Had to go and call my stuff a heap. Took it out Friday night for the 1st drive, stopped to get gas about 15 miles from home, went to start it and no crank. Fiddled a bit with it at the gas station and no go. Had to have it hauled home on a rollback. Dug into it today and found the ground wire on the starter was separated. Repaired the ground, through it back in and she fired right up.

I’m guessing you purchased the 1000?

Jealous that you live so close to good riding, and that you’re riding something more capable of shredding twistys unlike my 03 Goldwing.
