Thank you for the add
I’m sure to enjoy this group as I’m completely nuts about MC’s having 42 of them at this time...no GW’s yet but am here to learn so a GL 1100 isn’t too far away for my collection

Re: Saying hello from Tappan Lake Ohio
Welcome from the UK. Do you mean you have 42 bikes now, or you have had 42 bikes over the years! Good luck on finding an 1100.
Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on
1981 CX500 good mid range tourer, went to Austria on it!
1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.

Re: Saying hello from Tappan Lake Ohio
Wow.
I could stop there and it would describe your collection perfectly. (But, I gotta make a few more comments).
First, great choice in music - and fitting for the need to shelter all those machines!
Fabulous collection. Given your love of Ducati, I am not at all surprised to see the solid Cagiva representation.
I won't dwell on it and you'll probably laugh, but if I had to choose one favorite, it'd be the early 900SS ('79?). Probably my favorite all time Ducati.
I'm not sure what you intend to do in the GL world, but you'll be hard pressed to find one that competes with that collection. Other than extremely long legs and boat anchor reliability, there's nothing exotic about a Goldwing, naked or otherwise. They are utilitarian machines. But they DO have one of the most well-designed power plants ever put in a motorcycle.

Re: Saying hello from Tappan Lake Ohio
Thank you for your reply...as you can see see I’ve got a variety of engine styles and configurations...always been drawn to the flat 4 .....was hoping to learn more here to apply to a project that I’m considering...meeting true experts and getting different perspectives on different MC’s is truly enlightening...trying to NOT be a copy cat, but very much stricken with this GL as basis for a cafe racer Custom

Re: Saying hello from Tappan Lake Ohio
If you are asking “why are you here?” It’s to learn all I can about GL’s. Recently saw a pix of a cafe 1100 GL and it was breathtaking... thinking it’s an engine type I don’t have and could make a great winter project for me and my wife (Clean Jeanne, the Detailing Queen).
Or is the big question something else ?
