    For Sale... V-Stream windshield for Gen.2

    That's a very good price for a very good screen. (Well, it works for me). Glad you found that 'perfect' screen for you. GLWS.

    Gen 1 Windshield Opinions

    "Your problem: everybody is already invested in their own, so that's what they recommend. "~ Sacramento Mike So true. Last year at the IMS show in Long Beach I won the drawing at the National Cycle booth and got a FREE V-Stream screen for my '03. So I'm "invested". I really like it, but...

    Leg Burn

    'Back in the day' it seemed like all the fun girls had a nice 'baloney scar' on their calf. (Not that I'm implying that the OP is a fun girl.) Then the mfg. started putting those little BBQ grill thingies on the mufflers....

    Previous Goldwing Owners?

    The GL1800 is a fine bike, comfortable for both pilot and RIO. My bride won't even sit on anything else (degenerative issues - comfort is not an option). After about a dozen years on it, I really looked forward getting an FJR - lighter, quicker, more nimble. Anything the Wing can do, the FJR...

    Any rumor on the 2016...?

    My interest in the color of the next model is always related to my motorcycle-buying calendar: next year's might be mine... In about ten years.

    Thanks for the reminder - haven't been there in about three years. Time to go back!

    Got a motobike lift, finally

    Looks great! Just yesterday I was fantasizing about a lift - after spending just a bit longer than I'd wished on the garage floor, rebuilding the clutch master & slave cylinders & bleeding the lines on RoXXanne. Good thing we love them so...

    Fly and Ride

    I did a fly & ride a couple years ago. The seller was a longtime forum member. He picked me up at PHX, we went to his home, I gave him a cashier's check for the agreed upon amount, and I climbed aboard Lucille and followed him to the bank. We took care of the signatures & title transfer and I...

    Looking for Cheese

    Pants - I came upon this thread late, so I got to go from old cheese to new cheese in 5 minutes. CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so glad that your lady has negotiated the transition (and you with her). Happy trails.

    Bird-Brained

    Sorry, I can't help with your wife. What tipped my bride was... her sister. Barb went to AZ to visit her, just as her husband was picking up his third bike. Her sister said - "hey, we have great husbands - let them enjoy before it's too late and they regret it." Next thing I know, Barb calls...

    Oldest Daughter and Guns

    Outstanding, AJ! Great parenting, great teaching, great fun! We went up to WA last year and spent a few days with my daughter (37 year already!) & son in law. She couldn't wait to take me to the range. "Hey, dad - ever fire a .50 magnum?" Good times.

    My Choice Gen I or Gen III

    Is the Gen3 a better bike? Sure. If you have the extra $$ and want to spend it, go for it. Or you can ride the Gen1 and buy a second (used) bike - or two - for variety. New is good. Variety is good. Life is good! Heal quickly, and enjoy.

    Motorcycles are dangerous.

    Yikes! As I read your first several paragraphs I deduced that it was worse than a bump. (I'm clever that way.) I also deduced that the foot was still attached and that your pain meds were inadequate - your writing is brilliant! It also reminded me of a similar incident nearly 30 years ago. My...

    Bought my last bike - Big FJR

    Welcome to assisted living! Glad to see that the FJR XL has an FJR to keep her company! There is no better bike for a pillion, or so swears my bride. When I bought Lucille (aka Miss Lucy Liu) from Don, I'd been riding the Hondapotamus for 12 years. Always liked it (and still do) but wanted...

    Test Ride FJR Tomorrow

    The test ride is a gateway drug - you'll probably end up hooked. Enjoy!
