I've taken a few different goldwings offroad.
They are durable and can get into places that are hard to imagine.

Obviously a pretty good rider.
but it looks like this guy is intentionally trying to break his bike.
I'm not into that.

1986 1200 Aspencade - "Heart of Gold" - daily rider

1978 for $100 - project in worx
1978 from a previous member here - taking up space
my original '79 bought in '91 - replacing engine (eventually, maybe someday)
added an '05 1800 to the stable, all the rest gotta go
