My first Motocycle: 1985 Goldwing Aspencade

#1

Post by Oldmannewwinger »

Hello, I bought my bike from a member here and as I am fixing it up for next summer I asked him some questions for which he refered me to this forum. I have maintained my endorsment for years and riden big bikes from time to time but never owned one till now. I'm pretty excited about it and looking forward to interacting with your members.
My dream is to fix it up nice and pull a camp trailer then do some touring accross the US. Sadly my wife will not get on it, so it will be solo.
