I didn't ride the one I sat on a few weeks ago, but it too felt more "sit up and beg" than I'm accustomed to. And at 6'6", I felt locked into one position, with no room to scoot back. Beautiful bike, though.

Those moving tie rod ends are neat to watch. Gives you a perspective of just how much the front suspension is working.
Yep it was fun knowing how much the suspension was actually working. Hope none of my comments offended you seeing as how you just bought one, certainly not my intention. Awesome Wing, awesome motorcycle, just didn't do it for me personally. It didn't do anything wrong per say, it actually did everything too well. I'm a bit of a cro-magnon when it comes to motorcycles lol. Probably why I get along so well with the ST and CB. Plain simple motorcycles.

No offense taken! The older we get, the more we refine what makes us tick. The cool thing is there sure is a great assortment of bikes to fit everyone’s fancy.
Won’t be using all the bells & whistles, but some are pretty handy. The cruise control is easy to engage, set and adjust. The NAV unit is not as intuitive to me as others. Dealer was kind enough to set their dealership as Home... took me a while to figure out how to change it. I’m not a real fan of playing the radio, but the phone feature is nice. Amazed when the dash indicated the phone, battery level & signal strength. Haven’t used the high start assist. Haven’t figured out how I’d use the front USB port yet, probably charge the phone on long trips?

Honestly when I pulled out of the dealership I could not locate the turn signal button so I used hand signals until I got up on the expressway, left a gap between me and the car ahead, and looked around the myriad of switches until I found it. Knew it had to be by left thumb SOMEWHERE lol.

I just got up and walked into the kitchen and looked at my fridge. Nothing on/in the door except pics of grandkids. I honestly had no idea if my fridge made ice or water in the door. I know my son's does though, but he's a kid who likes gadgets. I never use ice and rarely drink water.
I do have an instant hot water tap on the sink for making hot tea though and use it multiple times a day lol

Odd that you would say that. Tonight was date night at our favourite Italian Restaurant. While Penny and the owner were chatting, they both mentioned they hate water but drink a lot of tea. They went on to say they suffer from kidneys stones, and hate having to drink a lot of water for the ultrasound scans. I wonder if the stones are a result of a lack of water, drinking too much tea, or both?
RE: New Goldwings arrived - the Ferret - 02-28-2018
Yea I know. I had a kidney stone last year. Only one I've ever had. Are the two related? I don't know. I should drink more water, and I do try, ordering it with dinner when we go out, sipping it out of a bottle here at home, but I don't care for water and there is no way I can drink all they want you to drink.
My tea has water in it, every drop lol
Stuck between a rock and a kidney stone
RE: New Goldwings arrived - LongRanger_imp - 02-28-2018
For me, Dr's orders: 64oz/day. I don't mind drinking it but I'm up all night peeing.
RE: New Goldwings arrived - use2b_imp - 02-28-2018
hate water but do drink decaf Tea or lemon water
mostly drink beer so that must be the key to never having a kidney stone
