Great Gold Wing Accessory for Your Guzzi
« on: October 08, 2020, 09:41:25 AM »
Are you tired of all those pesky riders waving at you ?
Getting tennis elbow from those Saturday afternoon rides ?
Wishing there was an easy solution ?

Well, wish no more !

I’d rather have a Miata based on my one ride of a Goldwing.

I went to the SD National with some ID MGNOC riders.  We stopped in Deadwood on the way up to Hill City.  We passed some Goldwings parked on the side of the road.  They both had trailers behind them.  I asked Bill if he had seen them.  He said "Yes."  I asked did you see where they were parked?  He shrugged.  The sign said the space is "Compact car parking."   :boozing: :boozing:

I would guess per month vs per year for Guzzi (in the US). I was in a Honda dealership years ago looking for a new bike. The salesman and I went over to a storage building behind the dealership. There was a stack of crates on one side. He said they had 27 wings in crates and 6 on the show room floor. No problem moving them he said.

I wave at everyone on two wheels. Even scooters, spyders, and trikes. I don’t wave at slingshots tho, those things are just weird!

About gold wings, I know the GL1800 are like bumblebees. Physics defying behemoths. They can flat move thru the twisties, based on my first hand experience keeping up with some!
