proof of riding happiness

Me taking on the Tail of the Dragon.

318 curves in 11 miles.  I win..

Hey Wayne,

That is one funky looking bike, my friend.

Jeans and T-Shirt? Not much skin left on you when you do a slider I'd say.

8-)

That photo really makes me wanna buy a motorbike and hit the highways :-)

That isn't a bike - that's a car with two wheels!

That thing is HUUUUUUUUUUGE!!

@Wilse,

It's a Honda Goldwing Touring bike.

re: wanting to get a bike, can't blame anyone.

re: skin rash if something happens, absolutely true.  I normally wear jeans, but have a Joe Rocket Reactor 2.0 jacket (the mesh and leather) that I wear, but...  What I've found is that I tend to handle heat rather badly, so it's a trade-off.  

I can either ride and accept the risk or not ride it but during the spring and fall, which is counter to why I bought it.  Will I regret that stance if something happens?  Probably, but at least I'm constant to wear a good helmet with ear protection, boots, and a good pair of riding gloves.

1.8 liter six-cylinder, stereo, ABS, storage, cruise control, CB radio and more, yeah, I'd buy "car on 2 wheels".  Riding it is easier at 42mpg than my truck at 13/14 mpg.

i have a friend who has an older goldwing that he dumped around a corner once. he stripped it down and put on some funky chrome it has the 1.6l engine and the thing freaking flies.

Yeah, Goldwings are nice vehicles. I think my father had a Silverwing thingy in the same colour as your Honda. He quickly sold it again after he fell over a few times and ended up underneath the thing ;-).

Sweeeeet

I can almost hear a distant, enraged shout of jealousy from a man with a curious sequence of characters for a head...

"It's mah bike...."

I had some riding happiness on my Yamaha FS1E-A moped :oops:




I've found the photo of my V8 Dodge 'Little Red Express Truck' :-)




And I've always loved vintage lorries like this 1948 Bedford that I found in Jersey, Channel Islands :-)
