I have it from a source close to the rumor that our very own Beemerdons in going to be inspecting and test riding a Goldwing this weekend with purchase in mind. As soon as the exact location of the DQ in known I will let all know so we can have a Blizzard while we giggle and point. We knew it was coming. The other six cylinder could be available cheap.

I sure as Hell hope this isn't getting to be a damned habit, I am now test riding a Hondoo Lead Wing for Roy Epperson up in Scottsdale, Arizona! JSNS, Yucko!

=========================================================================================================

Have to confess to a Great Mortal Sin, I rode a Hondoo Lead Wing yesterday. My Buddy Denny is looking at buying an FJR, so we rode to Globe for breakfast and I rode his Barcalounger! Feel so damn dirty and totally ashamed, went to Mass this morning and said the Rosary a dozen times, lit 10 candles! I'm so embarrassed!

I don't know Don, it kind of fits you. One might almost say that you are properly proportioned for the big banana...

You have the same look on your face I have when I take Mrs. Redfish out to a restaurant. The look that says, "I have to do this but I hope like hell none of my friends see me with this whale!"

While I am not a fan of the yellow color and would not want it to be my only bike, I am a fan of the Hondapotamous. I know in spite of all your joking you are a Motorcycle Rider first and foremost. You are like me in that you will ride just about anything with two wheels.

RH, I live in constant fear that one of these Forum Jackasses is going to give my Gal Donna a ride on one of these Beasts. Handwriting on the wall, she'll want me to buy one!

 
What's with these Gold Wing Owners and the people that want to buy them! Here is my "Check-It" list sent to me from Roy Epperson when I look at this Honda:

1) Make sure it has a cup holder on the left side of the handlebar for a Dairy Queen XL Blizzard Cup. If the Seller has amassed DQ Bonus Coupons, ask for them.

2) Make sure it has another cup holder on the right side of the handlebar for a Grande Starbuck's latte with goats milk and honey extract with double mocha and sprinkles!

3) See that is has a tank bag large enough to carry Ho-Ho's, Ding Dong's, Skittles, Cheetos and at least a dozen maple/chocolate bars from Winchell's Donuts in Kali!

4) Check to see that the Garmin is pre-programmed with all Starbuck's, DQ's, Winchell's, Country Kitchen All-You-Can-Eat Buffets and any/all WalMart Super Stores.

5) Examine the stuffed toy animal on the luggage rack on the top box, whether Alf the Alien, Garfield the Cat or Hello Kitty: Ensure coat is perfect and all seams sewed.

6) Double check that my new to me Wing has at a bare minimum, at least 50 additional lights mounted on it; does not matter what they do or even if they are operational.

7) If it has less than a dozen Wing-Ding or WingeBaggo Rally stickers on the bike, please ask the Seller if he may have a stash he has failed to glue on to the motorcycle!

They will never admit it but GoldWing riders are very close to Harley riders in their mentality. The bike comes from the factory with very little chrome but by the time they are done, it has shiny bits all over it.

My cousin has a very nice '08 Hondapotamous and it does have a cup holder. His cup holder is for his spit bottle. He dips Copenhagen and apparently when you try to spew your tobacco spit while riding it blows all over the side of your face and helmet. Yuck! He has perfected his technique and knows exactly what type of bottle works best. A small Gatorade bottle fits the cup holder properly and has a wide mouth. The wide mouth is so that you can fit a couple decent sized pebbles in the bottom of the bottle for ballast.

A horrible but exciting thunderstorm just West of the Rio Grande Gorge on Hwy 64 in New Mexico sucked his spit bottle right out of the cup holder. He said it came out of there like a torpedo and probably did not hit the ground for at least a hundred miles.

In the aftermath of the storm he told Pop, "See that last number on your speedometer? The wind was faster than that."



 
Redfish Hunter, I just got this email from RoyE: "The list is almost complete! You forgot the supply of Starbucks scones and cooler pack of Ben & Jerry's! JSNS!"
Certifiable Old Fart (aka Beemerdons) now you're getting with the program.
