How Difficult Is It To Ride A Gold Wing?

Our Two-Wheeled Convertible
We started in 1991 on a Yamaha 750 Shriners bike. A great friend made the 'mistake' of trading bikes on a Saturday ride and we got to ride his '84 1200. It was all over but the crying so to speak. My wife, who broke her tailbone in HS gymnastics, told me if I wanted her to ride with me, I'd find one of these! Considered it done, and rode that machine until 2017 when I bought our 2005 30th Anniversary Edition 1800. We also decided after a recent 10-day ride that we needed to add long trip storage capacity, so enter a 2004 Bushtec trailer we're excited to try out this weekend! Next year - out west! Just remember, riding a motorcycle is the ultimate test in defensive driving. If you fail the test, you'll probably pay with your life. Never drink and ride, take safety classes, dress for the slide (and hope it never happens) and most of all enjoy the roads less traveled. The low center of gravity of this bike always makes it want to right itself, although the 1200 was a little more nimble probably due to less weight. Excellent power, design, comfort and engineering!
