The current Goldwing is a phenominal bike...powered by an 1832cc version of the nuclear reactor that drives a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier!! (p.s.-I might have made-up that part)
I've embarrassed many sportbike owners in the twisties on my Goldwing!
The dreamer in me thinks that if I buy a Goldwing, I'll magically also have the time to criss cross this great country on it; but in fact until I retire that free time is an impossibility.
Even though I know the above time constraint, I still at times find myself staring at Goldwings, and I slip into daydreaming about that long distance ride!
