Title: Hello from Phoenix
Post by: wingrider on January 26, 2014, 03:08:09 PM

Hello. My name is Jim and by my forum name(Wingrider) I would rather still have my Goldwing. I have ridden many different bikes starting when I was 14. First was a Harley 45 with foot clutch and tank shift and then went up to a 47 Knucklehead also with a foot clutch and tank shift. I then went thru several different bikes until I got my first Wing. That was an 81 1100 Interstate and I was spoiled. I then had an 86 Interstate, 86 SEI and then my 2002 1800. It was thru a series of misfortunes that I had to make a choice between the 1800 and my current 09 with ABS Concours. The ABS and wifes current health made the Concours the wiser choice at that time.Thru a long list of mods I have the Concours where I would now be comfortable taking it anywhere. This forum has been a great help for information, used parts and humor. I do all of my own work on my bikes. My goal is to put at least 200,000 miles on this bike before moving on to another. I currently am at 37,000. Hopefully I will get to meet some of the forum members when they are traveling in this area.
