I'm officially old! - Page 3

NoQuarter#121 · 09-04-2012, 04:08 PM

I like it!
I have never owned one, but I have ridden them.
They are big over weight sportbikes.
The reverse is cool.

Did you get the soft doors and top option?
Where do you plug it in to re charge it?
Is it an autobot or decepticon?

(Sorry, had to do it)

Well, after 17 days and a little over 2k miles, I can say I really like it! SWMBO didn't care for how far back her backrest leaned. Bought a pad that fits over the backrest that makes her happy. She's happy, I'm happy, our butts are happy.

I rode the Guzzi to work the last couple of days, feels like a sport bike now

If the Guzzi seems too small for you now I will gladly let you give it to me.

Just take the tupperware off of yours and you'll have mine!

xpertss · 09-07-2012, 10:34 AM

Nice truck I mean bike LOL

But seriously, looks very comfy

soultrain · 09-07-2012, 10:34 AM

Well, your getting old in style at least.

Yup, getting old. Just wish some of that style would rub off on me...

If I restore the 88 FLH to road couch status that might happen.

No hover craft yet?? Oh right, it's not 2062 yet.
Glad I won't be here then... No more twisties...

Enjoy your ride.

Remember: nine-eleven tomorrow

rmorten · 09-10-2012, 03:38 PM

I don't get it... Goldwing=old? I am old for completely different reasons; the Goldwing is the only bike that had room for my laptop and if you haven't ridden one you simply don't know what you are talking about.

Ci dispiace, Slygrin, ma sto andando a togliere la tua iscrizione a vita nel club italiano v twin. Si è ora in libertà vigilata. Ho parlato.

Salud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... or is that Salad?

La cagna italiana sarà solo bisogno di imparare a condividere!

Lol! They do say that sharing is caring............

1 month and 2500 miles later (2000 miles in the first 2 weeks), I can say I'm really enjoying the Wing. A few little things that a farkle or 2 won't fix. What I'm finding weird is it's easier to transition from Guzzi to Wing than Wing to Guzzi. After riding the Wing for a while then jumping on the Guzzi, I find I have to almost re-learn the ergos and shift points, but not the other way around. Anyway, can't imagine not having both now. Different types of ride, just got to remember to give them both equal attention.

Texasl · 09-25-2012, 03:52 PM

Now you need to get something between the two as a transition assist bike.

Slygrin · 09-25-2012, 05:09 PM

Hmmm, maybe a Connie 14....

Texasl · 09-25-2012, 07:06 PM

As the waiter said, "Excellent choice, sir."

RSV R'der · 09-25-2012, 09:13 PM

I am pretty sure you should get an Aprilia Tuono.......you know someone who likes working on that bike

.
(And I promise to ride it when you don't!)

I'd have to get some JB Weld first...

and a bigger garage.

RSV R'der · 09-26-2012, 01:36 PM

And a second lift............
most people do not have the ability to form JB weld into footpegs or clutch levers; I have a SKILL!
