Those pictures hurt to look at. Glad you and your passenger are both still here with us. Thanks for the information too. I may look into a set of deflectors.

I’m assuming the wind deflectors allow you to get some air directed at you? I feel like I pretty much ride in dead air even with the windshield vent open. I need to find a way to get more air flowing, especially on my face.

Valve inspection, wheels installed, plates renewed. Quick little shakedown run up to triple digits and all is good. Once again no balancing. I just left the weights that were on the wheels prior to my tire change 🤷‍♂️.

Began the process of spooning on some new shoes for the Wing last night. Just removed the tires lasts night. I spooned the new ones on today. Pain in the butt to spoon off as well as on, but new tires are on.

👍 @Danimal you were in my neck of the woods.

@Connie14 Where are you planning to ride?

Not sure if you guys still follow this forum, but looking for a set of tires for 03 Goldwing.

5-7 days

Looking for a warm place to ride during the last week of March. Planning to trailer then ride. I was thinking southern Georgia, northern Florida, or Alabama. Anybody know of any good riding in those areas? Or do you think I can stay farther north and be fine. Keep in mind it’s the wife and I both.

I only had the Concours for a short time, but I miss it. I plan to own another. Great compromise between speed and comfort.

Thanks for the mini review. I’m not sure if I want to get another Concours and have 2 bikes or just upgrade to the newer Wing. The older Wing doesn’t quite cut it for solo rides. It’s a bit heavy for me to feel comfortable pushing it.

That’s sweet looking 👀

Looking good @Danimal

@Pauly are you planning to keep this around longer than you originally planned?

That is slick. How do the pistons on the caliper collapse?

Are you rebuilding the motor that failed or improving the bike you just picked up?

I thought about latex gloves. Almost like wearing rain gear, stops the wind. You’re a thinker you are Tonik. 👍

Dude, you’re too kind. Thank you for the offer, but it was my hands that couldn’t handle the cold the other day. I have some pretty thick gloves, but they weren’t cutting it. My cut off is usually 50°. When I left on Friday morning it was 42°. I’ve ridden in the upper 40s and been fine. Someday I’ll get off my wallet and buy some heated gloves. Multiple hobbies/toys asking for my money nowadays.

I won’t be making this boys. I rode in to work this morning and froze my butt off. It’s gonna be the same temperature tomorrow morning. I ran this morning as a test run. That was only like 35 minutes. Gonna pass on hours of cold morning riding. Speed safe.

I’ll put myself down as a maybe. As we get closer to the date, I’ll let you know for sure what I’m doing.

@NinjaDoc I’d love to meet up but I’m down to just 1 bike now and it’s an 03 Goldwing. Do quite a bit of 2up riding with my wife nowadays. I’m afraid I’d be a bit slow. 8:30 is real early for me. It’s 3hrs+ for me. Speed safely buddy. Hope all is well for you.

Glad you made it to the hotel and back home safe. Update with some photos of the carnage please.

Nice roadside repair. I took a trip down 377 recently Ben and I think I have a pretty good idea of what caused your accident. There’s a dip in that corner that caused a harsh peg drag on the Goldwing. I never noticed it on any of the other bikes I’ve ripped through there. I’m guessing the guzzi ran out of clearance pretty fast. Going through the corner at speed I never saw a dip but the suspension on the Goldwing told me all about it. Glad you’re still on two wheels.

Thanks for the review. This opens a newer wing as a possibility in the future. I showed my wife the picture and she approves.
