Look at What

[LSUBOY]

A 1983 Goldbling

With 14,000 original miles

 

[Niehart]

Cool, I like that old iron, no matter what make. And that Wing looks cherry!

 

[stormrider]

man that is one sweet ride

 

[FJRBluesman]

That is one nice 25 year old bike!

 

[TCMike]

Nice! It looks to be in mint condition, but It has funny tires. Apparently the bike isn't meant to lean much in a corner.

 

[HotRodZilla]

That is a cool bike. It looks to be in awesome condition. That paint looks like new and still has that deep shine to it. Looks like your neighbor found himself a sweet buy...And I like those retro-tires.

 

[eeksnake]

Sweet ride! :good:

Gotta fix that mileage deficiency though... ROAD TRIP!

 

[SockMonkey]

Ah yes, when the Goldwing was still a real motorcycle (and not a 2-wheeled Barcalounger...)!

while in Arkansas at SFO this last week we met up with an eclectric group that had everything from a Goldwing like that one to cruisers to a stretched custome chopper.

I think there were 20 in the group. The Goldwing had the front fairing though.

A friend of mine has that same bike, same color, but with the bags, in a barn with an aftermarket black sidecar on it that I can probably get for cheap. Not at all nice like that but it was running last summer. I have been wrestling with the idea for a month.

I think you just pushed me over the top.

The word "cherry" comes to mind.

That piece belongs in a musuem.

500 some-odd miles per year? Someone's grandma rode it to church on Sunday.

I liked the 4-cylinder wings better. I've been trying for a year to get a friend to sell me one he has sitting in the barn. Even less miles; champagne colored. I can spend less than a thousand on new tires and seals, and it would be road-ready. He still has dreams of fixing it, but it will never do anything except collect dust.

Oh, well. Time will tell.

I'd be wary of that old a bike with so few miles. Might need work from "sitting around" time.
