Very cool. I see many miles of smiles in your future. I'm clairvoyant like that.

Congrats! ONe of my best friends has a 2004 Wing that he let me ride. Super smooth and loaded with options even being 10 years old. Its a big heavy bike and I am a midget but after we let the suspension down it was manageable even for me. The sensation of weight goes away as soon as you get rolling. THose big suckers will corner also from following him on some twisty roads so I reckon a 2014 would be excellent. Post some pics when you get it.

I saw the 2015 on the Honda website, but didn't like the color options so I went with the 2014 in candy red with the silver engine.

Congratulations! Hope you have many happy miles on your new ride.

That's very cool! Congrats! If I was riding two up, a gold wing would definitely be on my consideration list.

Just watched the video about the optional air bag...very interesting...made me wonder if it actually slowed down the driver flying over the handle bars...it looked like if the CG of the driver matched up with the center of that big ball of an air bag...it just might?

Great bike. Hope you enjoy it as much as everyone elepse I know who owns one.

Man, that thing deploys fast.

Congratulations, Gingersdaddy. May you have endless happy miles on the new bike.

That is great news ! and a beautiful color as well.
I am certain that both of you will enjoy that bike for many years.
Will you keep both your CB 1100 and the bike from your wife or did you trade in a bike ?

 

[redbirds_imp]

There's a reason Honda has sold so many Gold Wings. Can't think of a better long range tourer. Congrats and enjoy the new ride.

I really like the CB and still have it. I'm thinking about selling it, but not sure yet. I know I still owe more than I could get for it so I may keep it awhile. I didn't do a trade in so we will have three bikes in the garage for now.

Will have pictures as soon as I pick it up. Maybe Saturday, but more like Tuesday as it looks right now.

You wouldn't want to ride that wing full time, so if you can swing it, the CB is the perfect stable mate for short runs and solo riding.

 

[Gingersdaddy_imp]

Couldn't wait, called the dealer, found out it came in last night and is being serviced now. Should be able to pick it up this afternoon. Praying for no rain, at least not for the first ride!!

 

[the Ferret]

Woohooo

Pics or it didn't happen said the guy who doesn't post pics

Man, a Wing, next you'll be getting a trailer for it!

 

[Gingersdaddy_imp]

This is one smooth ride.
