This one was neglected and filthy. A 2008 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing. Poor little fella.
I brought it home and gave it the "once over" and a deep clean.
It's running now, and behaving itself.
It's a Honda, how bad can it be ?
:boozing:

I did not get a "before" pic. it musta been sitting in the driveway for a while, because it was covered in grass clippings and pollen and bird **** and stuff. Too ugly for a picture !

You sir are addicted.
I only recognize this peculiar malady because I myself suffer from the same.
Nice Wing!

First time I've ever seen a Goldwing 1800 described as "little". :grin:

Have you checked the air filter yet?
-
Is that a convertible car?
Congrats!

Might as well drive a car...
-
Good luck, I have found, sometimes they never leave!
-
One thing is for sure - these two are keeping me busy, cleaning and detailing.
Ima get that rear car tire off today (date code early 2017 and also mount a new front (date code mid-2016).
Got a new set of Dunlop Elite 4 tires in the stash......
-
Now you *know* you have to run a car tire on a lead wing.. :violent1: :cool:
-
Which one are you riding to the National?
-
I let the air out of that car tire, and still had to cuss it out of the well.
Got everything cleaned, inspected, etc.
Brakes, clutch, & radiator flush - air filter, oil, tires.
Removing years of layered brake dust and road grime from the wheels was a challenge.

Nice work. Great bike, and on the cheap I assume?

A very reasonable deal, for sure.
I'm not into restorations, I do like to pick up a few bikes every year. work them over and then sell them. Of course, they must be ridden (sometimes extensively) to make sure that everything is OK.

Another one followed me home !
The motorcycle distribution system does its thing. To fight it is folly.

Well said. She's a beaut! I always wanted a giant Honda tourer when I was a wee lad, and I still dream of an '83 GL650i Silverwing. I watched a perfect one go for just $5k a few months back and it 'bout killed me. FortNine has one and it's lovely.
Honda has a special place in my heart. My first ever vehicle was a '76 CB200, we drive a CR-V, have a generator, and my fave bike for years was a '79 CX500C, but now it's my Guzzi girl :drool:.

Clearly. :boozing:
