I bought an silver and gray Aspencade Goldwing the first year that model was released in 1982. I was the President of a 150 member motorcycle touring club at the time.
Penny and I went all over the place on it: Sudbury in Northern Ontario, Lake of the Ozarks west of St. Louis, Laconia New Hampshire. She refers to it as the Cadillac of Motorcycles. Sold it in 1989 when I stopped motorcycling and became involved in beer league baseball and hockey.
The most comfortable and maintenance free motorcycle I have ever owned. Loved the shaft drive, the air adjustable suspension, the low center of gravity of the flat four motor and fuel tank under the seat. It is not unusual to hear of people putting 100,000 miles on their Goldwings.
With small racks on top the trunk and saddle bags, we could fill a motel room with the gear we could carry.
