Oh this bike has some quirks but it's 33 years old too. Nothing that can't be reasonably handled though. After work I'm planning on goofing off maybe another hundred miles tonight. I love it!

You go, guy! Nothing like a nice evening ride out there in the country. Here it seems to take 45
minutes to get to a decent riding area. Better post a picture or two.

You're probably making Harry feel badly. I havent' heard about any of his 'Ducati' escapades lately.

How's the seat on that thing? Comfortable?



I don't have "escapades," Racist John, but I was up in Connecticut
recently with my motorcycle, which I transported in the back of my
pick-me-up-truck.


We're you up there for a poser event? We see a lot of motorcycles
riding in trailers and pick me ups. I guess the owners are afraid
to break in the saddles or wear the little nibs off the tires. To
each his own. ?


A poser event? You mean something like those events Herring tows his
portable motel room to so he can hang out with the other old white guys
and listen to ersatz hillbilly music? No, I don't go to those. This was
just one of a few trips I make each year to the New Haven area to hang
out with old friends. Got pretty good MPGs driving up and back, too.

BINGO! Hang out and pose with a bunch of 70 year old juvenile
delinquents. Could you still throw your leg over that thang and
ride it? Didn't think so.

Got a lot of friends up there with Ducatis, eh.

Krause, your bull**** pile won't fit in your barn. Did you ever consider that?

I'm not a fan of the seat, John. the manufacturers give you their idea of what comfort is, and their idea isn't the same as mine. Mine is totally different than having a "King/queen" seat that you can't move around on and are stuck in one position. The old original GL1000 was much more comfortable. But I'll be getting a stack of gel-pacs to compensate for it's short comings. and it'll be fine. I also cant see spending a huge sum of money for a custom built saddle that I may be just as disappointed in. so...

Here's the pad I'm using: http://tinyurl.com/gqw9p4j

The extra big size may be better for the Gold Wing: http://tinyurl.com/zzkkjr9

I absolutely love mine. Don't know how I ever got along without it. I had to raise my windscreen a
bit to compensate for the additional height, but that wasn't a big problem.

Nice! I haven't heard the "word" Aspencade for years! When are you
going to turn that thing into a trike?
