B y A r t H e r z o g • G W R R A # 1 1 7 2 6 3 • H u n t s v i l l e , Te x a s
n an October afternoon last year, my
wife Carol & I were out on our
Wings on US-127 just north of
Hudson, Michigan. I was in the lead and Carol
was following me. We were enjoying this
great road and the pleasant autumn weather
with our cruise controls set at the 55-mph
speed limit.
Suddenly, to my left, I saw a blur. About the
same time, I heard a sickening crunch.
Glancing at my left rearview mirror, I saw
the body of a large mule deer rolling across
the roadway. In my right rearview mirror, I was
horrified to see Carol’s Wing flipping end over
end along the shoulder of the road. Carol flew
through the air and landed on her back in the
roadside ditch.
An ambulance arrived quickly and took
Carol to the nearest hospital. Numerous Xrays and CAT Scans revealed no broken bones
or brain damage. She had some contusions
and was badly bruised all over. The hospital
personnel could not believe she had no broken bones and commented on her protective
clothing.
Later, Carol revealed that she had never
seen the deer that struck her Wing on the left
front quarter, just behind the front wheel. Nor

did she remember flying through the air and
ending up in the ditch.
But thankfully Carol had practiced what
she preached. She had followed the advice she
has been giving for years as Chapter TX-D’s
Educator by wearing protective equipment
head-to-toe.
Her helmet was deeply scuffed in several
places. Her leather jacket and pants were
shredded. Her boots were both scuffed in the
toe and the ankle areas. Her safety glasses had
two deep vertical scratches on the right lens.
Her gloves kept her hands abrasion-free.
Her bike was totaled.
Hopefully this report will change the
thinking of at least some of our readers who
don’t think helmets and protective clothing
are important. You never know when the
unexpected will occur, and it’s too late to put
on a helmet or other protective gear when
you’re flying through the air!

’ve got a 2003 Black
Wing I use for offduty jobs like running
funeral escorts, escorting oversized loads, etc.
The weekend of
May 20, I rode it from
Austin, Texas, to Santa
Fe, New Mexico, so I
could take part in the
Santa Fe Century bicycle ride. I turned more
than a few heads when I rode up to the registration tents on my Wing.
I’m new to the bicycle world, so I only did
75 miles of the 100-mile loop, but when you
add in the elevation change factor, I feel better about what I did accomplish.
This is my third Wing, and they are hard
to beat for business or pleasure.

“Right On”
received my June ’06 issue of Wing World
and opened the page to Nick’s editorial,
“Two for the Road.” I agree with everything
he said about a factory-made trike. Every
point was well taken and to me it seems a
shame for Honda to stick their heads in the
sand because of the three-wheeled ATC
debacle.
I couldn’t help notice the ad for
Thoroughbred Motorsports’ “Stallion” on
the opposite page. While I was at Daytona
Bike Week I spent several hours in the
Motor Trike storefront admiring “Stallion”
and talking with the owners of Motor Trike.
One of the reasons the “Stallion” is debuted
at this time is there was no one on the horizon taking up the challenge. The Baby
Boomers are retiring at a young age and they
have the cash to buy big toys for an active
lifestyle.
It is indeed a shame that we have to buy
a $20,000 motorcycle and cut the rear end
I
August 2006
off to make a viable, usable vehicle. That is
akin to buying a new Cadillac, cutting the
back end off and making a pickup truck.Auto
manufacturers saw the niche and now the
“Super SUVs” are available (the Escalade
EXT, and Navigator pickup).
I intend to have a factory-made trike.
They are available now.Wake up, Honda!

from St.Louis to Springfield.
Many thanks to Jack Harvey of Nixa,

Time For Trikes Editorial
ick Hoppner’s June 2006 editorial, “The
Time Has Come,” about trikes is right
on target.A Honda-built trike would fit right
in with the aging riding population, the
increased affluence of the American public
and the cost of gas. What a shame that we
now have to buy a great motorcycle and
throw away half in order to make it into a
trike!
Readers might want to look at the
Business Week Online site (www.business
week.com) of February 27, 2006. There is a
fascinating article in the Autos section
describing the development efforts of
Volkswagen, Mercedes, Peugeot and others
to produce trikes. Some of these have great
N
design and bank into curves like a motorcycle.What a blast!
If Honda doesn’t get on the bandwagon
soon, they’ll be left in the dust.

Old Glory Maintained
here is a bridge in Amato, Arizona, that
crosses the San Pedro River. Most people
don’t even know it exists. During the time
our troops entered Iraq, some local citizens
decided to place American Flags on the side
railings to show our support. Over time, and
due to windy weather, some of these flags
became torn and tattered, and some disappeared. Somehow, mysteriously, new flags
seemed to appear so as not to break the
chain of support.
Last year, some of us from Arizona were
unable to attend Wing Ding, so we searched
for a patriotic gathering to which we could
ride and perform some community service.
Fourteen Gold Wings and trikes from
Chapters AZ-A and AZ-K in Tucson rode in
an orderly fashion to this unique bridge,
equipped with flags (donated by an Ace
Hardware store in Tucson), duct tape and
enthusiasm.
The GWRRA Members went to work
replacing damaged or missing flags. Now picture this, each Chapter Director placed a
new three-by-five-foot flag at the beginning
and the end of the bridge! No matter from
which direction you approach this bridge,
you are welcomed by these new flags.
As we pledged allegiance to the colors, it
seemed as though everything around us
stopped for a moment—airplanes, birds,
automobiles and even the wind momentarily
remained silent. Our chests swelled, eyes
teared and nobody moved or spoke.
Stop and share this hour in the sun when
we were, for a moment, part of what makes
our nation the greatest place on earth!
We intend to continue this type of public
display to help the other motorists become
more aware of motorcycles and the compassionate people who ride them.

bystanders, “I didn’t see him, I just didn’t see
him!” Luckily, I was wearing a helmet and safety gear, so I had only minor injuries, even
though my Gold Wing was totaled.
Within a few weeks I had bought a new
Gold Wing, and one of my first purchases was
a headlight modulator which I have installed
on the high beams of the headlights. I have
seen a definite difference in my visibility, as
vehicle drivers much more frequently do the
“double-take” instead of just pulling out in
front of me.
Several weeks ago, I was pulled over by a
Deputy Sheriff on South Greeley Highway. I
remember thinking, “Was I speeding? I don’t
think I was….”
When the officer walked up to me, he
said, “I was wondering why your headlights
were flashing.”
I explained that they were not actually
flashing, they were ‘modulating.’ He asked the
difference between modulating and flashing,
and I told him that modulating lights do not
shut off, they dim or pulse, whereas flashing
lights go on and off quickly. I was hoping he
would not think I was being a jerk, but he
seemed to understand and told me he was a
motorcyclist as well, and he could see the
benefits of modulating headlights. He did not
seem to fully believe that modulating headlights were legal in Wyoming, let alone all 50
states, but he did tell me that he would look
into it. I gave him my card, and asked him to
call me with any pertinent information so I
could give it to my fellow Gold Wingers.
I was pleasantly surprised when he called
me a few days later to let me know that he
had found that modulating motorcycle headlights were, indeed, legal in Wyoming, but he
was not sure about other states. I mentioned
the federal mandate, and he asked if I would
drop the information by the Sheriff’s
Department so he could pass it around to his
fellow officers.
I have since made up several copies
(Department of Transportation National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 49 CFR Parts
571 [Docket No. 97-57; Notice 1] Executive
Order 12866) that I keep on my motorcycle
for easy distribution to those law enforcement officers who are not aware of this federal law.
I am writing this in hopes that growing
public awareness will reduce the number of
motorcycle/vehicle accidents. I certainly do
not want anyone to think I am an emergency
vehicle or law enforcement officer when I am
riding with my headlights modulating, but I
definitely want to be seen by fellow motorists
with whom I share the roadways of Wyoming
and this great nation.

Is E85 Fuel Suitable For Wings?
E85 fuel now exists at some service stations and it looks like more is coming on-line
in the future. I would appreciate your take on
whether or not there are modifications for our
Gold Wings, available now and/or in the near
future, to enable the use of E85?
Also what are the technical adjustments
necessary for our Gold Wings to be able to use
E85?
Bob Pittman
GWRRA #25067
Lynden, Washington
Bob, several years ago, I installed Dexcool
coolant in my 1989 Dodge—partly because I
liked the idea of not having to change it again
for five years and partly because I felt that disposing of used coolant once every five years
was more eco-conscious than once every two
years. No good deed goes unpunished—
Dexcool takes thousands of miles to re-coat
exposed steel surfaces like those in a cast-iron
engine block. The resultant rust destroyed my
cooling system components.
What does this have to do with E85 (85 percent ethanol/15 percent gasoline)? Though it
may be an eco-friendly assault on reliance on
foreign oil, it will have the same effect on the
fuel systems of engines not specifically
designed to use it as Dexcool had on my older
car’s cooling system. Not only that, ethanol
has fewer BTUs per unit of volume than gasoline—E85-compatible engines and fuel systems are made with different materials and
tuned to produce more power on E85 than any
non-compliant engine could ever hope for.
There are no technical adjustments possible
that would allow any Gold Wing (or other noncompliant vehicle) to run on E85—at least not
very well and not for very long. And because
E85 prices aren’t much lower than gasohol (10
percent ethanol), attempting to use it doesn’t
make financial sense either. I suggest following the fuel recommendations in Honda’s latest
service literature—that maximum acceptable
ethanol content is 10 percent.

’81 GL1100 Interstate Shows
Electrical Ailments
I have recently restored my ’81 GL1100
Interstate, and I am experiencing a problem in
the electrical system. I have installed auxiliary
lights on the front for night driving. These are
12-volt, 55-watt halogen bulbs. Sometimes I
use them during the day also. I’ve noticed that
after ten hours of steady use, the battery is
drained to the point that it will not restart the
bike. I’m using a gel cell battery, and the running lights will not come on unless the key is
in the ON position.
I have noticed that, of the three yellow
wires from the generator to the regulator/rectifier, one of these is browning (in color) at the
connection. I have checked them with my voltmeter and two of the wires (when running)
show 3.2 volts; the browning one shows 6.4
volts. Is this normal, or am I pulling too many
watts with the driving lights? Do I need to
replace the generator?
Thank you for your time and assistance
James Davis
GWRRA #252793
Ladson, South Carolina
James, if your battery goes completely flat
after ten hours at highway speeds, that’s a
problem. But if it happens after ten hours of
riding locally with slower speeds, stoplights,
etc., that’s exactly what I’d expect even if the
charging system were working perfectly. Those
two 55-watt lights create more additional electrical load than your system was designed to
handle.
Fully charge the battery, then start the
engine (with the driving lights turned off) with
a voltmeter hooked to the battery terminals.
Rev the engine briefly to 4,000 rpm and note
the battery voltage—it should be 14 to 15 volts.
If it is, your driving lights are too much load
for the system.
But if the battery isn’t being charged to at
least 14 volts, check the alternator as follows.
To test your alternator output at the yellow
wires, you’ll need a voltmeter set to read AC
volts. With a fully charged battery, disconnect
the connector closest to the alternator for the
three yellow wires and start the bike. Connect
one meter test lead to a yellow wire on the
alternator side of the connector and the other
to ground. Rev the engine briefly to 4,000 rpm
and note the AC voltage. It should be around
80 volts AC. Test the remaining two wires in the
same way, and compare the results. Low AC
voltage on any or all of those yellow wires
indicates a stator problem.
And no, browning of the yellow wires isn’t
normal, though most four-cylinder Wings suffer that problem. It’s caused by heat due to
high resistance between the connector terminals—usually due to a loose or corroded wire
crimp on the terminal. Repair any such problems, and repeat the AC voltage test. Also
inspect/repair the connector where the voltage
regulator plugs into the wiring harness.
Missing Fuel Tank Cap Whoosh
I have a fuel tank discrepancy. I have
noticed that I no longer have a “whooshing”
sound of air being released/escaping from my
fuel tank after I turn the fuel tank cap to open
it. I am wondering what has happened and if
this is a problem. I have thoroughly cleaned
the cap, the gasket, and the tank filler neck. I
am wondering if this is a turn for the worse.
Ed Saunders
GWRRA #226973
Belmont, Mississippi
Ed, the whooshing is caused by pressure in
the tank escaping as the cap is opened. This
normally happens more in hot weather, after a
long ride, and when the tank is mostly empty. I
wouldn’t be concerned.
GL1800 Engine Whine
I just bought a 2003 GL1800 with 390
miles on it. I have put about 500 miles on it.
The engine has a “bird” sound in it that
reminds me of a dry water pump on a ’35 Ford.
It does it at all engine speeds. It gets faster
with increased rpm and gets louder at high
rpm. It seems to idle okay at 800 rpm and has
no other apparent problems.
I’ve had it checked by two Honda dealers,
and they both say, “It just sounds like a Honda
to us.” The bike has an extended warranty.
Should I be concerned? I just want to make
sure it doesn’t die out on some lonely highway.
Walter Raynaud
GWRRA #175625
Clifton, Texas
Walter, the GL1800 has a lot of straight-cut
gears in the transmission and output shaft
drive. These tend to make a bit more noise than
13
helical gears. Also, your bike’s camshafts are
driven by chains rather than by rubber belts,
as on previous Gold Wings, and those chains
make sounds that may be unfamiliar. I’m confident your bike is operating normally. That
said, we don’t know your motorcycling background or what type of gear you wear while
riding. What does that have to do with anything? Read on.
A person who’s used to riding bikes without the large windshield and bodywork found
on a Wing will immediately notice “strange”
noises. This is because the body pieces (especially the windshield) reflect otherwise unnoticeable sounds and have the effect of amplifying them. Many of our readers actually claim
to hear their GL1800’s fuel injectors operating, and I don’t doubt them.
Years ago, when service managers received
noise complaints from riders who’d installed
windshields, they’d joke about performing a
ten-minute engine overhaul—remove the
windshield.
Another possible reason these sounds seem
so noticeable may be due to the style of helmet
you wear (or don’t). Wearing no helmet at all
will naturally allow one to hear sounds that a
helmet would mute, while the curved face
shield on some open-faced helmets can actually have the same amplifying effect as a large
windshield. My advice is to divert your attention from listening for noises to enjoying the
ride. There’s a strange connection between the
brain and ears that causes noises to become
louder and more numerous the longer and
more intensely one listens.
1976 Gauges Show Abnormality
My bike is a 1976 GL1000, and I would
like your help with the following problem.
The temperature and fuel indications appear
to be abnormal.
Sometimes the temperature gauge appears
normal, then suddenly it goes to full hot and
the fuel gauge goes to beyond the full indication. The engine is not hot, and the cooling fan
is not activated. I have already replaced the
two sensors that send info to the Temp
Indicator (panel) and the one that starts the
cooling fan. If you have any idea of what is
happening, I would appreciate your advice.
Carlos Carvalho
GWRRA #173006
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Carlos, your problem is likely caused by a
faulty instrument voltage regulator. It’s located behind the left side of the service compartment cover near the voltage regulator.
GL1500 Drive Line Vibration
What is the fix for 2000 SE drive line
vibration? This is my eighth GL1500, and the
first one to vibrate. I bought the bike in
March, test rode it at 55 mph and did not
detect the problem. I discovered it later. It has
only 26,000 miles on it and is a beautiful bike.
Testing on the center stand in fifth gear,
the bike has vibration all the way up to 3500
rpm. (I did not go above this.) When I disengage the clutch and the motor idles, the vibration is severe enough at times to shake the
fairing and windshield; at other times, for
some reason, the vibration is less. On the road,
it is most pronounced after 65 mph, but I can
feel it in the handlebars at speeds much slower than that.
I replaced an almost-new Elite II with an
Elite 3 on the rear wheel, but the symptoms
remain.
Message Board responses are, as you well
know, “that Honda knows about this and
refuses to do anything about it.” My bike is
still under warranty. I’m not so much interested in warranty coverage as I am in resolving
this problem.
Please help!
Cliff Britton
GWRRA #54926
Williamston, North Carolina
Cliff, from your description, I suspect
either a badly unbalanced or delaminating
rear tire and suggest that you take the bike to
someone competent to diagnose it.
Steering Bearings Torque Settings
I e-mailed you about a steering wobble on
my 1997 GL1500. My shop manual says

foot-pounds.
Can I torque mine to 17 foot-pounds and
still be safe? I used a fish scale and the readings are in the low 4-pound wheel deflection
range on mine.
Gus Anfuso
GWRRA #63498
Long Branch, New Jersey
Gus, before you try 17 foot-pounds, try
torquing it to 14. You may find that your steering bearing adjustment has loosened up. Yes,
17 foot-pounds should present no problems, as
long as you don’t cause the steering to have
more than 4.85 pounds pull.
Bear in mind that loose bearings don’t
cause wobble, they only allow it to be more
noticeable. So don’t make the mistake of
attempting to tighten the wobble away by
overtightening the bearings. If standard procedures don’t eliminate it, inspect the bearings
for damaged races and replace if necessary.
Also consider that unevenly worn tires and a
host of other maladies may be the underlying
cause of your problems.
Blown Fork Seals Advice
I recently blew out the left front fork seal
on my GL1800. There was oil running out of
the fork and going over the left front brake and
tire. I didn’t think it was safe to ride the bike
in this condition and loaded it on a trailer and
transported it to a dealership for repair.
Someone called me a wimp for not riding the
bike home in this condition. I could not see
where it would be safe with oil all over the tire
and brakes.
I wanted to know what your opinion about
this is, and what you would do if something
like this were to happen to your ride.

Ron, I’ve ridden with leaking fork seals
just long enough to get home. But if one had
dumped that much oil, soaking my brakes and
disabling them, I’d have done exactly what
you did. The next time someone calls you a
wimp for refusing to do something stupid, just
consider the source. Time has a way of catching up with those folks.
1986 GL1200 Interstate
Stalling Problem
I own a 1986 Gold Wing Interstate with
57,103 miles on it. It is a great bike. I purchased it five years ago, knowing that it
would occasionally stall while cruising at a
steady speed. The previous owner had taken it
to a Honda dealer, but the problem could not
be replicated and diagnosed.
During the first two or three years since I
owned the bike, it very occasionally stalled.
Two years ago, the stalling increased, typically after riding for 10 or 15 minutes and while
cruising at a steady speed. When the engine
stalled, if I tried to start it right away, it would
only backfire repeatedly. I learned that if I
turned the ignition off and waited five minutes, I could then start the engine and ride
without further problem for the rest of the day.
Last year, the stalling increased. On the
day I rode to the Honda dealer, the engine
stalled at least 10 times. Again, the stalling
would occur while cruising, not while accelerating. After waiting for five minutes or so, I
could start the engine.
The dealer did a seasonal tuneup, drained
the gas tank, replaced the fuel filter, oil filter,
air filter and spark plugs, changed the oil,
checked the fuel pump and ignition wires (but
did not replace them), etc. The engine then
ran fine without stalling for the rest of the
year.
However, this spring, the stalling problem
occurred again with even greater frequency.
The Honda dealer suggested rebuilding the
carburetors at a cost of about $700.
My thinking is that it might be an ignition
problem. Perhaps the stalling is caused by a
short, the engine then floods and won’t start
unless I wait for five or more minutes.
Again, I am faced with the problem that
the Honda dealer cannot replicate the problem. Any suggestions?
Bob Lynch
GWRRA #161157
Medford, New Jersey
Bob, the symptom you describe is typical
of failing pulse generators, or unwanted
resistance in their wiring circuit. Have your
dealer inspect your bike as per the service
manual, both with the engine cold and again
at operating temperature. I can give you an
ironclad guarantee that, should you tell your
dealer you’ll pay for the carb work only if it
actually cures the problem, that “suggestion”
will be retracted immediately. It’s purely a
guess on their part.

Eric Shuman

Windham, Maine
Skyline Honda,
Saint Robert, Missouri
I have been riding motorcycles since 1964
(kinda dating myself there). I bought my last
Wing in 1989 from Honda of Easton in
Pennsylvania. I was fortunate enough that my
brother owned the dealership, and so I got a
great deal. I decided this year that it was time
to upgrade to a GL1800. My ’89 had 92,500
miles but was in excellent condition, both in
its running and appearance. My brother sold
his dealership two years ago, so I was going to
shop around for price.
I am from Maine, and the dealers up here
just won’t give you a price break off MSRP. I
went through my last copy of Wing World and
recognized the Schroaders ad. Schroaders,
located in North Carolina, has been advertising in the magazine for as long as I can remember, and I have been a Member since 1991.
Anyway, I called Schroaders and spoke to
Casey Schroader. I asked the out-the-door
price. He immediately quoted me $3,000 off
the MSRP for an ’06 Titanium with ABS. I could
not believe it! I sent a deposit and expected to
pick up the bike on May 26. I called several
times over the next couple of months to
check the status and to tell them when I could
make plane reservations to come down and
pick it up. I was so impressed with Schroaders!
Each time I called, I spoke to Terry Schroader,
the owner. He was always available to answer
any questions I had.
Well, I asked if the bike would be ready for
May 26 so I could make plane reservations.
Terry said, “I believe I have one in the warehouse.” Lo and behold, I was on the plane
from Portland, Maine, the next Thursday to
pick it up.
When I arrived, Terry’s mom, Kathryn,
greeted me at 9 a.m.The bike was all set to go,
except I had to have a spoiler at the last
minute. The ride back to Maine—1,150 miles
over two days—was great except for a torrential downpour the last 200 miles. Of
course, the bike ran perfectly.
Many thanks to all of the Schroaders for

In December of 2005, just a couple of
weeks before leaving Missouri for the winter
months for southern Texas, I was riding my
2001 Gold Wing GL1800/Motor Trike on
Interstate I-44. I noticed that my engine was
exceeding 4,000 rpm at times but didn’t think
anything about it until I started to climb a big
hill. At that time, the engine kept going faster,
but I was going slower.
I finally got up the hill and started immediately for the Skyline Honda dealership in Saint
Robert, Missouri. The mechanic, Anthony,
along with the owner, Dave, and others started to check everything out and found what
they thought was a problem with the slave
cylinder. They ordered a new slave cylinder,
but that didn’t fix the problem.
I was leaving in a few days for the winter,
so Dave told me that I could leave the trike
and they would fix it, then take it to my home
and put it in the garage for me. As it turned
out, the problem was that the clutch had
burned out.
I think that Dave went out of his way to
help me to fix the trike and deliver it to my
home and secure it for me. The customer
service at Skyline, in my opinion, is the best in
the state. If you are ever in the Waynesville,
Missouri, area, the shop is west of town on
Interstate I-44.You won’t be sorry if you stop!
Carl W. O’Dell
GWRRA #159785
Saint Robert, Missouri
GP Sports,
San José, California
On May 12, my friend, Bill, and I set off on
our first long-distance trip together on our
Wings. Destination: California. Our trip began
from our hometown of Victoria, British
Columbia, on Vancouver Island, Canada. Bill
rides an ’89 GL1500, and I ride an ’85 GL1200
LTD. Both bikes performed flawlessly, even in
the 95-degree heat, until we arrived in San
José. After riding around town for a couple of
hours, we stopped at a local 7-Eleven to get a
couple of Slurpees, as it was us that needed
cooling down, not the bikes.
About 20 minutes later it was time to
leave, but when I hit the starter button on the
old girl, she turned over slower than a turtle
on tranquilizers, having barely enough juice to
start the motor.
Having bought the bike used two years
previously, and not knowing any history about
it, the stories of the deadly stator troubles
popped into my mind. Suddenly I felt ill. Bad
stator equals motor out equals second mortgage on the house.
Not wanting to chance the 1,000-plus-mile
trip home, I decided to find a local Honda
dealer and see if they would take a look at it.
About noon, we arrived at GP Sports on
Camden Avenue in San José. The service
writer was friendly, polite, and wore a comforting smile as he assured me that someone
would look at it before the day was done.“You
guys are a long way from home,” he said.
“Don’t worry, we’ll put our best guy on it.”
After coming back from his lunch break,
Pete the mechanic got to work on my bike,
checking the charging system out thoroughly
and paying special attention to the stator.The
stator checked out fine (phew!) and Pete
recharged the battery, then tested everything
again and changed some wiring for me.
While he mentioned that he thought the
alternating current output might be low, he
wasn’t sure, since he didn’t have a service
manual and the specs for a bike 21 years old.
But he assured me that it would get me home.
This was a huge relief, and I mean HUGE! And
yes, I did make it home without any more
trouble.
Thinking about it now, and after reading
some comments from Members in the
GWRRA forums, I believe that the charging
problem was probably due to the stop-and-go
low-rev-riding in the heat, since the cooling
fan, radio, radar detector and CB gobble up
power over and above the usual suspects, i.e.,
the lights, fuel pump, air ride compressor, ECU,
etc., etc. So, the alternator just was not able to
keep up with the demand. After doing some
more highway-speed riding, the battery
seemed to charge well, and she started up fine
every time, even after a lunch break in
Redding, California, where the temperature hit
about 100 degrees F.
Anyway, after having the bike in the shop
for four hours, not to mention taking it in
without an appointment or even a phone call
ahead of time, the service writer gave me the

bill. I swallowed hard before looking at it,
recalling the sign over the counter that said
Labor—$85 per hour.
As I slowly unfolded the work order, that
sickly feeling began to return, and I started
thinking about how much money I had in my
pocket and wondering if it would be enough
to cover this unexpected expense and still get
me home. Surely the bill had to be no less
than $300, right?
Wrong!
As I looked for the Amount Due on the
work order, I couldn’t believe my eyes! I asked
my buddy, Bill, to double-check it. The total
(including taxes) was $34. Huh? Thirty-Four
Dollars? I was stunned! I felt like I had just
won the lottery!
Not only was the stator still in good
shape, but so were my finances.
As luck would have it, there was a cold
beer store just around the corner, so, to show
my gratitude, I dropped off a case of cold
ones before leaving the shop. Hats off to Pete
Diaz and all the friendly, courteous, and helpful folks at GP Sports, San José, California.
They really do care about the customer, and
it shows.

Victoria, British Columbia
We were riding two-up on Monday, May 8,
on a trip from Paducah, Kentucky, to Mesa,
Arizona, when the 2001 Kawasaki we were
riding quit in the middle of an intersection in
Safford, Arizona. A super-nice Harley rider
helped my wife & me push the bike out of the
street.
A nice police lady then called Nick Glover
at Desert Riders Motorsports. Nick then
promptly sent two men and a trailer to bring
us, and the bike, to his father’s dealership. He
immediately started troubleshooting the bike.
After about 30 minutes, Nick suggested a
nice lunch place for us, as the problem on the
bike was not immediately evident.After lunch,
Nick told us the main ignition fuse had blown.
He assured us it might not happen again soon,
if ever, but he gave us some extra fuses just in
case.
Our total bill was for only half-an-hour of
shop time and zero for transporting the bike!
This was hard to believe!
I think Nick was very concerned because
of our ages (76 and 67) and the fact we had
ridden the bike from Paducah, Kentucky, this
far, en route to Leisure World in Mesa,
Arizona.
By the way, our ride in Paducah is a Candy
red GL1800!

Nebraska Chapters Support Safe Bicycling
A Nebraska Gold Winger airs
up the tires of a child’s tricycle.
Members of GWRRA
Chapters NE-B (Omaha)
and
Chapter
NE-NE
(Plainview) of the Nebraska
District, Heartland Region,
participated in the sixth
annual Cyclefest 6 on May
21. Members volunteered
their support to this community service event that
helps children in the community ride their bicycles
and tricycles in a safer manner. The event was attended
by 566 participants.
The Bike Rack, a local bicycle store, provided mechanical checkups and donated bicycle helmets to the kids. The volunteers fit the
bicycle helmets to the children’s small heads, checked the air in their
bicycle and tricycle tires, and aired them up to the proper level when
needed.
Nebraska District Educator Bob Lake, GWRRA #211051, said,
“We had a great time helping the kids to be safe riders and learn
about safe riding and other safety issues. Good things can be accomplished from a giving spirit and willingness to help.”

have shipped over 600 pounds of goodies overseas to help the troops feel a little closer to home.
In addition to the goodies, they also
shipped over a Chapter flag to the son

some photos of it being displayed in various locations throughout Iraq. Sergeant Matt Kennedy (shown with
Chapter flag), son of Jeff & Kay Kennedy, is currently serving his third
tour in Iraq as a member of Third Platoon, Twenty-First Cargo
Transfer Company. Matt has been in the army for over five-and-a-half
years, serving originally as a mechanic and currently as a cargo specialist.
When asked about serving in Iraq, Matthew says he is embarrassed by all the “fuss” and feels that his role overseas isn’t any big
deal—it just happens to be in Iraq. His mother noted that being a
Member of GWRRA helps a mother forget to worry “just a little”
that her son is so far away, serving our country.

existing Kreamer contracts that include products for the military, medical field and hunting
industry. Gerbing’s expanding product line will
include many battery-operated heated garments that will allow for portable use. Some
of these new products include heated insoles,
heated gloves and heated vests.

Stayin’ Safe Motorcycle Training
Survives Larry Grodsky
The late Larry Grodsky, 55, was widely recognized as a leading motorcycle safety expert
in the country and the pioneer of on-street
training. Grodsky’s untimely death, on the
night of April 8 when his motorcycle struck a
deer, stilled his voice as monthly “Stayin’ Safe”
contributor to Rider magazine.
Much of Larry’s work was devoted to creating the Stayin’ Safe Motorcycle Training pro-
gram, a unique on-street, real-world form of
training. Developed and refined over more
than three decades, the Stayin’ Safe method
combines proven street strategies with realtime coaching techniques for an incomparable
learning experience. Hundreds of participants
have described the Stayin’ Safe experience as
nothing short of revolutionary to their riding.
According to Pete Tamblyn, a Stayin’ Safe
Smokies Tour instructor since 1995,“Our goal
is to continue to bring Larry’s unique program
to motorcyclists who are interested in
becoming better and safer riders.”
The 2006 tour schedule was abbreviated,
but with the efforts of Grodsky’s existing
team, including a number of instructors who
trained with him, and MaryAnn Puglisi at
eduVacations, tours from July through
October will run as scheduled. Tamblyn adds,
“Our goal is to offer a full schedule for 2007;
and we’ll continue to schedule private tours
on request.”
This season’s two- and three-day tour
routes include Wisconsin (departing from
Delafield), Shenandoah/Blue Ridge (departing
from the Washington, DC, area), Switzerland
of Ohio (departing from the Pittsburgh area),
and Safe in the Smokies (departing from
Cornelia, Georgia).

DIAMOND CUSTOM SEATS OFFERS NEW ALL DAY TOURING COMFORT
With a saddle designed
for the long haul, Diamond
has further refined their seat
building techniques in the
Honda GL1800. The new
Diamond Hi Miler is the
final word in all day touring
comfort.
The saddle is customdesigned for each rider and
passenger according to
height, weight and inseam.
Liquid raw components of
the foam are hand-measured and weighed on a gram scale, then mixed
and poured into a high pressure, high temperature mold and “cooked”
for the proper density base foam. The foam is then hand-shaped and
molded until every dimension is correct for rider and passenger.
This means a very short or very tall driver can be equally happy. A
very large, heavy person can have a comfortable ride as well.
Each saddle is built so that the cyclists’ body weight is distributed
over all the area of their rear ends and upper thighs rather than resting
on their “sits bones,” which causes “hot spots” and squirming around.
All Diamond seats also have a concave sitting area so that butt-bone
pressure is relieved.
The Diamond saddle can be ordered with a built-in, removable and
fully adjustable driver’s backrest and comes with a matching cover for
the factory passenger pad or a new straighter replacement pad. The
replacement pad sits the passenger more upright for those who find the
back-leaning factory pad uncomfortable.
The Diamond seat can be ordered with a color-coded velour top for
heat and perspiration or in all vinyl. All components of each Diamond
seat are the best money can buy.
The folks at Diamond Custom Seats pride themselves in over thirty
years of building the finest custom seats on the market and really care
about their customers and their needs.
For information, call (800) 722-9995 or (386) 698-2737, or visit

MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURES GUIDES
HELP PROMOTE SAFETY ALONG THE PARKWAY
One of the nation’s premier riding guidebooks—Motorcycle
Adventures—works especially hard to benefit one of the nation’s premier riding destinations—the Blue Ridge Parkway.
And this year, in an effort to further increase motorcycle safety
awareness on the Parkway, the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is showcasing Hawk Hagebak’s guidebooks and bundling the three-volume set
for special retail sales on-line.
26
The motorcycle guidebooks, written by former metro-Atlanta
motorcycle police Sergeant Hawk Hagebak, are already bestsellers in
the genre.
The foundation, which has rigorously promoted safety along the
Parkway for years, says it hopes “to meet the demand and promote the
best advice” by showcasing Hagebak’s three-volume set. Together, the
guides cover nearly all of the Parkway, from Cherokee, North Carolina,
north to where the Parkway meets the Skyline Drive in Virginia.
Along with detailed maps, Hagebak makes a point to include safety
tips specific to the Parkway. For example, he warns that, when riding
through tunnels, car and RV drivers have a tendency to creep over the
center line. Hagebak, therefore, recommends you “keep to the right
half of your lane as you enter the tunnel.”
Indeed, the foundation notes that the Parkway can present specific
challenges for rides. For example, it says, ‘descending radius curves’
account for the highest accident areas along the 469-mile motor road.
According to Joe Veler, who manages the foundation’s on-line store,
Hawk’s guides are historically the best-selling books on the site. “They
provide information riders need based on a much smaller gas tank. I
think they’re the best guides out there,” Joe says.
Others agree.
“If there was a New York Times bestseller list for motorcycle books,
Hawk’s guides would at the top. We just can’t keep them on the shelf,”
says Nick Salvia, parts manager of BMW-Ducati Motorcycles in
Charlotte, North Carolina, where the guides have been sold since 2001.
To order the three-volume Motorcycle Adventures set for its special
retail price, visit www.w.blueridgeparkwaystore.com.
For more information about the guidebook series, call Milestone
Press at (828) 488-6601 or visit www.milestonepress.com.

AND SPEAKING OF THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY…
If you enjoy riding along the Blue Ridge Parkway or through the
Smoky Mountains, you already know they’re a motorcyclist’s vacation
dream come true, with 500-plus miles of paved roadways with numerous scenic pull-offs and incredible views.
Motorcyclists everywhere are familiar with Deals Gap (also known
as the Dragon’s Tail)—by far the most famous ride in the Southeast,
with its 318 curves in 11 miles—that will leave you breathless.
But “The Dragon” is only one of many awesome rides to be found in
the area. There is also the Cherohala Skyway and Highway 28 from
Franklin along Fontana Lake, just to name a few. And, a short ride up to
Clingman’s Dome reveals the highest peak in this sector of Western
North Carolina/Eastern Tennessee. If the day is clear, you can see five
states.
And now Mike and Natalie Nelson, owners of the Abbey Inn Motel
just outside Maggie Valley, North Carolina, have actually mapped out
seven incredible scenic tours for your enjoyment. Visit their Web site
and click on the “Scenic Tours” button, then just download and print out
the tours.
There are also tons of non-motorcycle activities in the Smokies,
including white-water rafting on the Nantahala River, hiking some of
August 2006
the 1,000-plus miles of trails, horseback riding, or simply taking a picnic lunch. And there are championship golf courses, mountain and
Cherokee Indian crafts, antique shops, and, in the evenings, some of the
best bluegrass and country music available anywhere.
In fact, the Nelson’s own stomping grounds host the world’s largest
collection of rare American motorcycles and automobiles—90 percent
of which are operated regularly—at the Wheels Through Time Museum
of Vintage Transportation in Maggie Valley. Museum owner Dale
Walksler even says he’ll be happy to start up any of the motorcycles or
cars for you.
Maggie Valley is also known for being the Elk Capital of North
Carolina, with elk roaming free in the Cataloochee Valley area of the
National Park. You may also see black bear, wild turkeys, red fox,
wolves, and a huge variety of birds along the way.
Entertainment can be found in several places right in Maggie Valley.
Raymond Fairchild plays his banjo for you at the Opry House, and you
can see some world-class clogging at the Stompin’ Grounds, both right
in Maggie Valley.
So, visit the Nelsons’ Web site and, if you’re ever in the area, stop by
for a spell. The Nelsons will be happy to offer you not only lots of tour
and activities information, but also clean, reasonably priced rooms
amidst a friendly atmosphere and five-mile-wide mountain views from
their motel.
Visit the Nelsons on-line at www.abbeyinn.com or call (800) 5455853.

P R O D U C T R E P O R T
Nolan
N102 Helmets
with J&M
Integrated
Headsets
ot being a fan of large group rides, I find it much more
enjoyable (and usually safer) to take day rides and weekend tours with just a few friends and fellow riders. Part of
that riding enjoyment is the sharing of the sights and sounds and
experiences of the ride with each other.That sharing is usually the
before-ride planning, the ride experience itself and the after-ride
camaraderie. And though I have fully enjoyed the before and after
communications, it is the “during the ride” communication that
was an issue.
I work with, and live with, some very picky people. For some
strange reason, they feel it is important (and safer) for them to be
able to understand me when I transmit on the CB radio. Between
the ambient wind noises, the in-the-background sounds, my monotone voice and my poor enunciation, they swear that I sound like
a bullfrog at the bottom of a trash can. Hard to hear and even
harder to understand. So, to the rescue came my sound experts,
Nick Hoppner, editor of Wing World and John Lazzeroni, president
of J&M Corporation in Tucson, Arizona. They promised that even
an inept “non-technology geek” like me could be helped to be
understandable.
We proceeded to do a “static check” of all of my bike’s obvious CB radio adjustments and “tweaks” of the internal intercom
and antennas. John and Nick determined that the systems and all
of their adjustments were correctly tuned and working properly.
John and Nick then decided to go through the entire process again
with the engine running to look for some type of “induced” noise
or interference.The results were the same—strong signals and no
problems induced.
John, being the perfectionist that he is, was still not satisfied, so
he jumped in his truck with a portable CB and a helmet and we
proceeded to the freeway to do “live” testing. He stationed himself beside the road, inside the cab of his truck, and asked my wife,
Cindy, and me to travel a couple of miles in various directions and
try to communicate with him and Nick. After several runs in various directions, they determined that the problem was not the
strength of the CB signal being transmitted, but rather with the
clarity of the sound. The power level of the microphones in both
Cindy’s and my helmets was boosted so high that everything was
distorted: Voice, ambient background and traffic sounds, and wind
noises were all being amped up, and my mumbled words were
being distorted also.
John suggested that we test out his new Nolan N102 flip-style
helmets with J&M integrated headsets. John told us that the
AeroMike III boom microphone with his new 55mm-enhanced
N
28
fidelity wide range helmet speakers performed very well. Having
previously learned my lesson of not arguing with Nick or John, I
agreed. Indeed, since we would be riding roundtrip for four days
with other bikes to the Region F Rally in Elko, Nevada, this would
be a good test opportunity.
When we received the new helmets, we noticed a few items as
we unpacked the units. The N102 has several features that are
enhancements to our previous flip-front helmets. First was the
incorporation of a single latch and release.This enables one-handed helmet-front operation, a nice convenience. In addition, the
venting system for both the top and front of the helmet kept the
airflow smooth, pleasant and quiet. We also liked the convenient,
built-in Vision protection system (VPS), a sun shield that pops
down to cut glare through the optically correct Lexan® face shield
with UV 400 protection.
Another helmet plus—a positive seal, with gaskets incorporated into the helmet to seal out wind noise.We also noticed that the
AeroMike III microphone is directional to reduce ambient noise
inside the helmet, unlike our previous microphones.
So off we went on our 1,200-mile ride from Phoenix, Arizona,
to the Region F Rally in Elko, to compare the performance
between the two helmet systems. Our riding partners and we
were amazed at the quality and clarity of the Nolan N102s with
their integrated sound systems in comparison to our previous
transmissions. From the heat of the Valley of the Sun (103 degrees
F) to the coolness of the mountains of Nevada (34 degrees F), the
combined performance of the Nolan N102 helmets and J&M systems was excellent and comfortable.
The J&M system allowed us to speak at normal voice levels, yet
keep the in-helmet volume lower.This helped totally eliminate distortion and wind-induced noise. Our fellow riders could understand me, and I could hear them and my lovely bride very clearly.
And the crisp, clear quality of music from both the AM/FM and XM
radios on our bike was noticeable immediately.
If your current helmet suits your comfort and protection
needs, but you want to install an integrated headset and speakers
system, J&M’s AeroMike and the wide-range helmet-mounted
speakers are tops. If you need a full replacement of helmet and
headsets, look at the Nolan N102 with the integrated system.
Nolan’s N102 and their new, extra light flip-front helmets, the XLites, are now available, as are headsets to suit other, previously
offered, Nolans. The N102s from J&M with J&M’s best headsets
already installed are available in Metallic White, Black, Platinum,
Titanium (our choice), and Black Cherry.
The X-1002 X-Lites are available from J&M in Metallic White,
Metallic Black, Metallic Silver and Metallic Gray.
There’s an advantage to dealing directly with J&M: You give
them your sizes and they ship you the complete package—no fussing, no fiddling. Comfort and performance, right out of the box.
Add to that J&M’s superb customer service and long record of
support to GWRRA Members, and you can see why this company has done so well over the years.
Bottom line for Cindy & me, J&M does it right.
—Don Brock

N102 or the X-1002 X-Lites. Or check out their other helmet/headset

Miseries
To Avoid
By Howard Halasz, Technical Contributor, with special thanks to the following from Bob
Lunsford's Northwest Honda: Ronnie Lunsford, Owner and General Manager; Corky
Farmer, Service Manager; Andrew Senyk and Corky Farmer, Service Technicians.
Tire Failure
1. The single most important thing you can do to prevent
motorcycle tire failure is to always ride on properly
inflated tires!
2. The only way to be sure your tires are properly inflated is
to measure their air pressure using a good-quality air
gauge confirmed to be accurate.
3. Follow the inflation pressure recommendations provided
by your motorcycle tires’ manufacturer.
4. Inspect your tires visually before every ride. Look for
punctures, cracks, missing tread or any irregularities.
5. Inspect your tire’s valve stems for dry or cracked rubber,
bent valve stem components, or missing valve stem caps
and rim valve holds, Honda part #42754-MN5-000.
Missing rim valve holds can lead to valve stem failure,
rapid tire deflation, loss of control, and road rash. Listen
for the sound of air leakage.
6. REPEAT: The single most important thing you can do to
prevent motorcycle tire failure is to always ride on properly
inflated tires!

(Basic motorcycle touring tips)
Maybe you’re just getting into motorcycle touring. Or maybe you’re just getting
back to it after many years’ absence. Maybe you’ve been a short-distance,
around-town rider and now want to ride cross-state or cross-country. Here
are some tips on motorcycle touring, no matter what you’re riding.
T-CLOCK Inspection
Inspect your motorcycle regularly—preferably prior to every ride.
T Tires and wheels. Use a tire gauge to check air pressures.Visually check
wheels, tires, tire valve stems, wheel balance weights, brake pads and calipers.
C Controls and cables. Determine cables are connected, do not interfere with
steering, and are not worn. Determine that all levers and pedals work freely
and properly.
L Lights and electrics. Have a buddy confirm that headlights, tail lights, brake
lights and directional signals are all illuminating properly. Check for any
dashboard warnings. Confirm CB operation prior to riding.
O Oils and fluids. Follow your owner’s manual instructions to verify you have
enough oil, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, coolant and fuel.
C Chassis and drive train.Visually check the bike’s frame for obstructions,
cracks, etc. Check final drive fluid level.
K Kickstand. Check for free movement, tight fasteners, and proper function of
engine-cutoff feature (if applicable).

What Are Some Benefits To
Belonging To A Chapter?
Many Members feel the Chapter is the single most important
benefit of belonging to GWRRA for some of these reasons:

load limit, as do most of us. Dick rides well, yet the undersides of his
foot pegs are worn paper-thin. After attending the Parks course, Dick
now realizes that his ground-down foot pegs resulted from lack of
ground clearance, and that shortcoming resulted from two things–poor
suspension and failure to properly manage the bike and rider’s combined center of gravity (CG).
What do we want from our bikes’ suspensions?
What would we describe as a good ride? We’d like to feel relaxed
and comfortable, right? That comes from having a bike that responds to
our inputs, rather than the other way around. If the bike is constantly
twitching, bottoming out on its suspension, or feeling like it’s about to
slide out from under us, then we need to provide constant corrections.
That can wear one out rather quickly. And even though Dick learned
proper CG management, he was astounded to learn during the portion
of the class that measured suspension sag, that around half of his Wing’s

Gold Wing owner!
Now what?
Maybe you’ve just bought your first Gold Wing. Or maybe you’ve come back to a Wing
after riding something else for awhile. Whatever your situation, here are some tips
specifically suited to Gold Wing owners (though some may apply to other bikes as
well).
Gold Wings
&
Restaurants
1. The first Gold Wing tested in the United States was a prototype of the GL1000. It immediately developed a permanent tendency to swerve sharply toward soft-serve ice cream
parlors, amazing the Japanese engineers.
2. Co-Riders have often demonstrated that digestion of large meals is improved because of
the smoothness of the opposed-cylinder, flat-four and flat-six engines of all Gold Wings.
3. The oft-quoted motto “Ride to Eat, Eat to Ride” was translated into Italian and embossed
in the underside of the rear fender of Gold Wings exported to Italy in 1992.
4. The retirement pension funds of all GWRRA Regional Directors are subsidized through a
secret agreement with the Hometown Buffet restaurant chain.
5. Very few Gold Wing owners are aware that if their machines run out of fuel far from civilization, the oil squeezed from an extra-large pizza will provide 40 additional miles.

“Up On The Roof”:
“Roofsit” Unites Michigan Chapters
By Billye Dulyea • GWRRA #156942-01 • Howard City, Michigan
o you know a survivor of child abuse
and/or neglect? Perhaps you are a
survivor yourself.Their scars are permanent and unseen but manifest themselves
in different ways in different people. Some
survivors become overachievers, perfectionists, high-powered individuals. Some become
underachievers, are unable to keep a job or
family relationship, or are dependent on drugs
or alcohol.
Radio station WBCT 93.7 FM in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, has a morning disc jockey
that annually goes up on the roof of Millbrook
Tack & Trailer and raises funds for programs
to help children and/or families with this
problem. This event is called “The B93.7 FM
Roofsit for Kids.” People in the communities
it affects are familiar with it. Some groups have
car washes, bake sales or offer services at discounted prices and donate the proceeds.
Others collect change in cans marked for that
purpose.
In 2003, Michigan’s Chapter G-2 adopted
D
this charity. We thought it would be fun to
ride down to Millbrook Tack & Trailer as a
Chapter with our bikes all lit up, and with
radios playing on their outside speakers, to
make our donation. So on that midSeptember Friday night of the Roofsit, we met
at the park in Greenville to make our trek.We
had eight bikes, approximately $300, and a
Roofsit flag we made out of a pillowcase (with
a T-shirt transfer of their charity logo). Once
there, we made our donation and sent the flag
up for the disc jockey to sign. Some of our
group made additional donations and received
T-shirts. Afterward, part of the group went to
IHOP for a late-night snack before the ride
home.
Over the following winter, my husband
developed a passion for this charity as a way
to unite local Chapters in positive action.
Starting with our own Chapter, he created a
Ride Board with a map of the area in which
our Chapter participants live. It included a
GWRRA logo and the B93.7 FM Roofsit for
Kids logo from 2003, along with a goal thermometer. He also created donation can covers with the Roofsit logo, our Chapter patch,
a note about what GWRRA is, and an explanation that 100 percent of the donations in
the can would be donated to the Roofsit.
After presenting it to the Chapter, we set a
goal of raising $1,000 and distributed cans to
be set out at local convenience stores, restaurants and businesses.That was March 2004.
Dan presented the idea to all the Chapter
Directors in our section. We loaded up the
Ride Board and cans with each Chapter’s
patch on it and went wherever we could.
Some Chapters chose to do the can collection, some decided to collect funds in a different way, some chose not to collect funds but
to come and ride along with us as support of
the effort.
As the summer of 2004 rolled on, we surpassed our original $1000 goal and excitedly
continued on. We chose a time and place to
meet, specified a time to leave on the ride, and

arranged with the radio station to purchase
Roofsit T-shirts in advance so we could wear
them to the presentation. Our Chapter Door
Prize Coordinator got hot dogs, chips and
drinks donated for those coming to ride.
On September 10, 2004, Dan sent an email to the disk jockey up on the roof to let
him know that we expected to arrive about
10 p.m. He read it over the air.
We arrived at the meeting place about
7 p.m., where we set up a grill, mixed the
punch, set out the T-shirts and waited in nervous excitement. We didn’t have to wait long.
First one bike arrived, then another. Then a
couple of bikes arrived together, then several
more. The riders came in and brought their
donations.They mingled and ate hot dogs.
At 8:30 p.m., Dan called the riders over
for a pre-ride meeting. He read the public

number of bikes and the total donation. How
excited we were to announce that we had 43
bikes and almost $6,000 to donate! But our
people were even more amazing because they
wanted to hit that mark, so they started dipping into their own pockets until we were
sure we had reached it!
Right on time, at 9:00 p.m., we began to
ride, our flags flying.We had a safety bike with
a caution flasher, a safety vehicle, and a chase
vehicle with a trailer. Those listening to their
radios heard that we were on our way (someone had called from the park to let them
know we were ready to leave!). As we
approached, everyone with a radio tuned in
to 93.7 FM and played it on their outside
speakers. Making a left into the parking lot, we
honked and waved to announce our arrival.
We gathered for a few photos, then sent
our donation and P.S.A. up in the bucket, along
with our flag for Neal to sign. As he read
about us on the air, he got a little emotional
at the amount of $6,003.87 we had brought,
but we were all elated! We had done it!
GWRRA participants from Michigan
Chapters G, G-2, K-2, O, R-2 and L-2, and one
corporate sponsor, chiropractor Dr. Chris
Moran, had pulled together. Together we
could show the world that we care about riding our bikes courteously and safely, we care
about the plight of abused and neglected children and their families, and we are willing to
work hard to help.
Our annual goal for the B93.7 FM Roofsit
Ride is one dollar more and one bike more.
Won’t you come with us as Friends for Fun,
Safety and Knowledge?
The event is traditionally the second
weekend in September. The radio personality
normally goes up on the roof on Wednesday
at noon and comes down on Saturday
evening. Our ride is on Friday night
(September 8), arriving approximately 10 p.m.

n Wednesday, May 17, my pastor,
Kenneth Pritchard, and I started off
on a journey to the Natchez Trace, a
440-mile long, limited-access road that follows
the path many Native Americans and early
explorers used as a trade and transit route
from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville,
Tennessee.
What a relaxing ride: Very little traffic, with
a speed limit of 55 mph! No commercial
trucks, no billboards, and no houses. And one
time, we went quite a distance before we even
saw a car!
This was the first long trip for my pastor.
To say the least, he was a “casual” biker who
became a full-fledged tour biker by the end of
our trip. I rode my white Gold Wing 1800
while pastor Kenny rode his Kawasaki
Nomad.And off we were to unknown whereabouts!
We left Washington, North Carolina,
around 8 in the morning, headed for
Tennessee. I had been thinking about this ride
for awhile, and the plans were now coming to
pass. The roads were mapped out, and we
were ready to go.
We rode all day long and stopped south of
Nashville, somewhere around Franklin. That’s
where we got on the beginning of the Natchez
Trace Parkway. We rode a total of 440 miles,
ending our ride in Natchez, Mississippi.
Many areas on the Trace, you don’t see
anything but wild turkeys trying to attack your
motorcycle and barely missing you. There are
a few houses but not on the parkway itself.
But we did see many Indian mounds, one
of them the second largest in the nation. As
with anywhere you go these days, we ran into
a little detour, but it didn’t last long.
When we arrived in Natchez, Mississippi—
the oldest town in the state—we took a bus
ride around the city and saw many historic
sites and beautiful plantations.
Leaving there, we headed for Port Arthur,
Texas, and rode Highway 82 across the very
bottom of Louisiana for a hundred miles.
There is nothing standing, everything having
been destroyed by Hurricane Rita. A town
about midway, called Cameron and with a
population of about 2,000, was completely
wiped away, nothing standing. Mass destruction was everywhere. I’d never seen or experienced anything like it before.
Then we went to Grand Isle, about 100
miles below New Orleans. There is a lot of
damage still in that area also. After touring
around this area, our “bottom parts” told us
we’d better be heading back to North
Carolina and home.
In all, our trip was 3,100 miles from
Washington, North Carolina, to New Orleans,
Louisiana, and home. It was a great trip and I
would recommend it to anyone.
By the way, I checked my gas mileage on
the Natchez Parkway: I went on a whole tank
of gas, got 46 mpg, and didn’t ever go over 60
mph. Pastor Kenny got 45 mpg. How’s that for
good gas mileage?

oor County has more state parks

and lighthouses than any other
county in the United States and over
250 miles of shoreline. The Peninsula is
seventy miles long and eighteen miles
wide at its southernmost edge, with
Lake Michigan bordering it to the north
and east and the Bay of Green Bay bordering it on the west.
When you ride north out of Green Bay,
Wisconsin, on Highway 54/57 toward
Sturgeon Bay, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive
through farm country as you travel alongside
the waters of Green Bay. As you head up
54/57, you’ll see beautiful, modern-style
homes right next to rustic red barns with
farm fresh eggs for sale. A sailboat may glide
on the water while cows graze in the meadow. As you look out to the east, newer wind
turbines are an awesome sight as they turn in
the breeze amid the farms. And if you love
antiques, there are many old houses and barns
converted into antique and gift shops along
the highway and in the villages.
As you approach Sturgeon Bay, you’ll arrive
in cherry country. Door County is one of the
nation’s largest producers of cherries, with
over 2,050 acres of cherry trees.You can pick

your own or buy pre-picked or frozen ones.
They’re ripe for the picking from about midJuly to mid-August. And you’ll see plenty of
outdoor markets that sell everything from
cherry pies and preserves to cheese and maple
syrup.
Highway 57 eventually splits to the right—
and there are other beautiful communities in
that direction if you follow it—but I enjoy the
group of small villages you see when you follow
to the left on Highway 42 north instead. The
first village you encounter is Egg Harbor, where
boutiques, gift shops and art galleries line the
streets.There are also ornate restaurants with
outdoor seating, but you won’t want to spend
all your time there because there is much
more to see and do ahead.
Continue down Highway 42 past cherry
orchards and farm markets and you will come

upon the quaint village of Fish Creek. As you coast down the hill into
the village, the first store to the left is Hide Side Corner Store. Hide
Side is a specialty leather and art gallery selling pottery, jewelry, leather
purses, jackets and artwork. Here, they also create custom Honda Gold
Wing belts, belt buckles, money clips and bolos. Browse the Gold Wing
buckles and money clips they have on display in their showcase. This
old-fashioned town is filled with antique and gift shops, boutiques and
restaurants, all beautifully landscaped and decorated.
If you turn left at Hide Side, on the corner of Main Street, you’ll see
Pelletier’s Restaurant located in Founder’s Square. Pelletier’s is famous
for their traditional fish boils—white fish, new potatoes and onions
boiled together in a huge steel kettle over a wood fire. Don’t forget to
stop at the two candy shops, which make homemade fudge, chocolatecovered pretzels, peanut butter cups and just about every other kind
of homemade candy and confections. I’m certain you will not be able
to just walk by.
Cruise northeast along Lake Michigan out of Fish Creek, and you’ll
come upon the entrance to Peninsula Park.Wisconsin’s largest park is
3,776 acres of forests, with many scenic overlooks, picnic areas, beaches and a lighthouse, where you can stop and enjoy the breathtaking
view of Lake Michigan.You’ll smell the many campfires as you ride the
seven miles through winding roads of forest and along rocky shores.
Down the road is the village of Ephraim, where now-historic homes
and buildings were built in the mid-1800s and are still used today.You
can stop at the Visitors’ Center in town for more information on lodging, camping and restaurants. And don’t forget to stroll into historic
Wilson’s Restaurant for a sundae or ice cream cone.You can also walk
across the street and rent a paddleboat for a few hours or simply sit
on a bench and enjoy the view. Later, you can catch a movie at one of
the few remaining outdoor theaters in the United States, the Skyway
Theater.
As you pass more shops and restaurants outside Ephraim, you’ll
come upon the village of Sister Bay. There, you can race a go-cart or
play miniature golf.Al Johnson’s Restaurant has wonderful Swedish pancakes and meatballs, and you’ll even find his goats grazing on the restaurant’s grass-covered roof!

which is called Gills Rock, you can scuba dive and explore many shipwrecks.The local maritime museum there has an abundance of artifacts
from the wrecks. You can even cross from Gills Rock by ferry to the
30-square-mile Washington Island, well known for its tranquility, with
gentle waves lapping its shores and the Northern Lights dancing in its
dark evening skies.
Though the island is home to only 700 year-round residents, there
are still many activities located there, such as boating, bike riding, shopping, golfing, and even weaving, spinning, papermaking, or basket making
classes at Siever’s School of Fiber Arts. In addition, there are several
working lighthouses to visit there and on the surrounding, smaller
islands.
On your way back toward Sturgeon Bay, you may want to take
County P to the east, go about a half-mile, and then take a left at
Mathey Road. At 4758 Mathey Road, you’ll find the Wisconsin
Motorcycle Memorial, the first of its kind in the country.The memorial was created with a “Walkway of Remembrance” that offers individuals a permanent location at which to reflect and remember loved
ones involved in motorcycling who touched their lives. At present, 9inch by 12-inch tribute stones for the walkway are still available for a
$100 donation apiece. And stones need not be dedicated only to
deceased riders but also for those who have not yet passed.
Not far from the monument is Ellison Bay Bluff County Park.There,
you can stand on the edge of the dolomite bluff and watch the waves
of Green Bay slap the shore beneath you.
I hope you enjoyed your journey with me through Door County,
Wisconsin, and will soon stop by for a visit in person.When you get to
Fish Creek, be sure to stop in at Hide Side and say hello to Mike, the
owner, if he’s in. But just know that, on a nice day, he’ll likely be out riding his Harley.
Please note, from Green Bay to Sturgeon Bay, I’ve provided you the
most direct route.There are also many scenic back roads that will take
you to Sturgeon Bay, but if I share all those, the locals will likely hang
me by my toes.

“Wings in the
Murals”!
By Dennis Bible, Alaska District Director • GWRRA #142861 • Soldotna, Alaska
Chamainus, British Columbia, is a small, peaceful village on the southeast side of Vancouver Island. Last
summer, it was also home to GWRRA’s Great Northwest Region (J) Rally from July 29 to August 1.
he 2005 rally’s theme was “Wings in the
Murals,” in honor of the small village’s
heritage.At one time, Chemainus was a
major mill town for the huge logging industry
on Vancouver Island. Sometime in the 1960s,
the log mills started shutting down and the
town began to die. Looking for a way to keep
the town alive, the local folks came up with
the idea of attracting tourism by inviting
artists to paint historic murals on the walls of
the town’s buildings—murals that depicted
the rich cultural and industrial past of
Chemainus.
T
POWER
SPORTS
After many years, and the talents of many
artists, there are beautiful murals everywhere
in town that tell the story of the island’s native
history and of the logging and milling industry
that founded the town and others like it on
Vancouver Island. As was hoped, the tourists
have come, including us Gold Wingers.
Twenty-nine Alaskan GWRRA Members
traveled from all parts of The Land of the
Midnight Sun, including the far northern town
of Barrow, to participate in the four-day
Region J event with our Canadian hosts and
riding friends. Most of our fellow Alaskan
attendees either rode the 2,500 miles—five
days one way—from Alaska or flew into
Vancouver. Then everyone caught the British
Columbia ferry for the two-hour ride across
the sound to Nanaimo, British Columbia, and
completed the ride to Chemainus.
The rally, hosted by British Columbia’s
District Directors, Bruce & Irene Morrison
and their local Members, was supported by
GWRRA Members from all over Region J and
centered around the hockey arena at the
south end of town.
Vendors, ARC/ERC rider education courses, breakfasts and dinners, awards and raffles
abounded. But the most popular events were
the poker runs and the sightseeing trips that
allowed us to explore Vancouver Island. Some
great, twisty, two-lane roads wind through the
island’s beautifully forested valleys and run
alongside deep, slow-moving streams. One
minute you are riding through a picturesque
hamlet snuggled along the shoreline of an
emerald freshwater lake, and a few minutes
later you’re having coffee with your friends
at an outdoor café overlooking an azure
saltwater bay.
Huge cedar, pine and spruce trees cover
the rugged, mountainous landscape and provide shelter for a large deer population on the
island. One needs to keep a sharp eye out for
these ghostly creatures, as they tend to jump

Road kill remains are a sad but common sight
as you travel on the many two-lane back

road’s shoulder.
An extra treat is a “must see” visit to the
city of Victoria at the southern tip of the
island, about a 90-minute ride from
Chemainus. What a jewel! Grand old hotels,
restaurants, shops, parks and gardens are
everywhere around the harbor. And the boat
harbor itself is alive with large ships, sailboats,
water taxis and seaplanes of every description, all coming and going in every direction.
One has to wonder if some unseen but necessary control system is keeping order for all
this traffic that looks so chaotic when viewed
from the sea wall.
Many of the females of our group attended an authentic high tea at the famous

bistro that specializes in local oysters and

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
FAIR
By John Berr y • GWRRA #179848 • Columbia, South Carolina
At the start of the year, Chapter SCP’s new Chapter Director Rick Bachelor
established a safety committee to
reemphasize safety in Chapter gettogethers and on rides. This initiative
came about as a direct result of a serious accident and some near misses.
s the recently appointed Educator of
the Lexington, South Carolina,
Chapter, I drew on my industry experience, where we hold annual “safety fairs” to
emphasize and present safety activities and
equipment. I thought Why not a motorcycle
safety fair? I quickly drafted a proposed agenda and activities for review prior to the South
Carolina District’s “New Officers” meeting in
January. I included my wife Cynthia’s input.
At the District meeting, I presented the
idea and a draft list of activities to Joe
Windsor, District Director, and he encouraged
us to proceed. After the initial group presen-
A
tations, we broke out into subgroups, and I
went to the Chapter Educator seminar.
During a break, Cynthia & I presented the idea
to Paul DiMascio and Donna Melcher, District
Educators. They were enthusiastic and even
volunteered to do the rider demonstrations. I
had met them at a previous District Rally
when they taught a seminar, but I wasn’t fully
aware of their qualifications. Boy, did I ever
talk to the right people! They are both MSF
instructors, and Paul was the 2004 Wing Ding
GL1800 Top Gun Expert.
At that time, we needed to add details to
the program and, as we all know, the devil is in

the details! Luckily, our Chapter is very active
and is blessed with a lot of talent. But we
were going to need more help and resources
than just our Chapter. So I approached Jim
Wertman, general manager of Carolina
Honda. Our Chapter has a good relationship
with Jim, as we are co-founders and co-sponsors of the Annual Veterans Ride held each
December. Jim said he was being encouraged
to come up with a way to promote motorcycle safety, and this sounded like something he
would like to work on with us. We set
Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for
the Motorcycle Safety Fair & Gold Wing
Appreciation Day. We had less than three
months to get ready.
This is where talent, effort and coordination really came into play. The Safety
Committee and Carolina Honda worked
together to develop a detailed format and
assign leads for each activity for our first
Motorcycle Safety Fair. Paul and Donna had
already volunteered for the rider demonstrations. Jim volunteered his Honda Technicians
to perform free motorcycle inspections. Mark
Wishart, an MSF Instructor who just started
working at Carolina Honda, worked with Jim
Proper, past Chapter Director, and Don
Nichols, our Ride Coordinator, to develop the
parking lot exercises. Judy Nichols, Don’s wife,
an RN, CCRN,ACNP & EMT-P who works for
the American Heart Association, volunteered
to prepare a motorcycle-oriented first aid
presentation.
Jim Wertman said he knew some of his
vendors (Tucker Rocky, Sullivan, Amsoil and
Fulmer helmets) would like the chance to participate and he would work with them on
some special one-day pricing for selected
items. Jim also made available a new Gold
Wing for demonstration rides.
Yet there were still a number of actions

that needed to be organized, and we needed
more help. Bill Selman said he would coordinate the volunteers, and Melvin Almond said
he would handle the parking lot layout and
traffic flow. Eric Prevost took on the role of
announcer; Rose Smith and Nancy Batchelor
handled the registration booth and raffles.
Other Chapter participants said they would
help as needed.
In addition, The Safety Fair also benefited
two deserving organizations: The Boy Scouts
of America and the Pediatric Brain Tumor
Foundation. The Scouts prepared and served
food and drinks donated by Carolina Honda
for a free-will donation. In addition, Carolina
Honda and their vendors donated items for
raffles held every half hour during the day to
benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
The week before the big day, the Safety
Committee met with Carolina Honda again,
just to make sure there wasn’t anything we
had missed or that needed special attention.
Then, on the day before the event, several of
us again met with Carolina Honda to lay out
the parking lot exercises and make sure
everything was covered. Ross McClellen,
South Carolina’s State Rider Coordinator laid
out the parking lot exercises and brought his
industrial blower to clean off the parking lot
where the rides would take place. (We didn’t
need sand or debris on the parking lot—after
all, this was to be a Safety Fair and we didn’t
want any accidents!)
Saturday the 25th finally arrived. Before 9
a.m., Chapter P was out in force, setting up
tents, roping off the parking lot, putting down
traffic cones, etc. Chapter P really came
through, with 38 participants, including family
and friends helping out where needed. We
couldn’t wait for the Boy Scouts to fire up the
grill, so we made sure there were donuts and
coffee on hand to get us started.
The day went by pretty quickly. We ended
up with about 100 participants and represenWing World

Several new Members were recruited and will
be participating with Chapter P.
The rider demonstrations were outstanding: Paul & Donna wowed the audience! I
never really knew what a Gold Wing is capable
of with the right riders on it! The first aid presentations and parking lot exercises will help
me, and everyone else, I hope, to become better and safer riders. The free T-CLOCK
inspections were important to the safety of
our fellow riders. Several maintenance/safety
items were discovered during the inspections:

Thanks go out to Chapter P and everyone

ou’ve heard people say, “I’ve always
wanted to ___________________
[fill in the blank], and have wished for
that to happen, but circumstances in life never
made it possible.” But for two dear friends of
ours in GWRRA’s Chapter LA-M of Deridder,
Louisiana, their dreams did materialize, and in
a wonderful way. It came to pass in this manner.
The first person in our tale is Sherwood
Goins, 85, GWRRA #231854, a long-time resident of Dry Creek, Louisiana, a small com-

munity southeast of Deridder. In March of
2005, he decided that he wanted to ride a
Gold Wing trike, both to keep himself active
and involved after the loss of his wife, and to
help him deal with the subsequent discovery
of cancer in himself. So he purchased a dark
green 1996 GL1500 Aspencade with a Motor
Trike kit and began riding it everywhere.
Locals and visitors alike saw him at the
post office, the grocery store, the barber
shop, and many other places he traveled to on
his three-wheeler.
L o u i s i a n a
He enjoyed his new freedom on the trike
and loved the smooth quietness of the Gold
Wing as he cruised along the roads of central
Louisiana. For the most part, he rode alone
except for a few times when one of his sons
would go for a spin with him.
In midsummer, he met one of our Chapter
participants while in Deridder, and the
Chapter participant invited him to our
monthly Saturday Chapter get-together. He
came to the next one, too, said he enjoyed
the fellowship and fun, and promptly joined
the “Chapter M Mudbugs” and GWRRA.
He rode on weekly dinner rides and
Chapter events and thoroughly enjoyed being
with other riders and seeing the countryside
from this new perspective. Since he lived
alone, his riding was always solo—that is until
one uniquely different midsummer day in
2005.
On that morning, he had parked outside
the local Wal-Mart store in Deridder to do
some shopping. Upon returning to his trike
with his purchases, he was approached by a
sharp-looking brunette who quickly stated,
“I’ve always wanted to ride a motorcycle like
this.” Mr. Goins, affectionately called “Pops” by
all, quickly recovered and said,“Give me a call
and you can ride this one.”
The sprightly brunette, BJ Berly, 70,
thanked him and said she just might do that
and left, though her heart tugged at her to go
ahead and ride the trike right then and there.
But, as she had very recently lost her husband, BJ was afraid of what her family and
friends might say if she started riding a
motorcycle with another man so soon after
becoming a widow.
She struggled with this issue for several
months, only to come to the realization that
she really wanted to ride on a motorcycle and
that it seemed like the folks she met who did
ride were having lots of fun and fellowship. So
in early December, BJ called Pops and told

him she had finally made up her mind and, if
his offer still stood, she was ready to ride.
And, boy, was she ready! Since that day, the
green trike on Jack Bailey Road seldom cranks
without BJ being on it! BJ and Pops seem
always to be headed out somewhere for a
dinner ride or a Chapter event with some
destination in mind.
Initially, each told the other that these
rides were strictly platonic, since neither said
they had any interest in the opposite sex.They
merely wanted to enjoy motorcycle riding
and the companionship of being fellow riders
they said.Well, this may have lasted two rides
at best.
It was quickly evident to all onlookers that
Pops and BJ were headed for more than a
“just friends” relationship. They have become
fast friends and dear companions. BJ loves for
Pops to call her and say, “I’m cooking some
lunch if you want to come eat.” When he
does, she hops in her car and drives over to
dine with him. Pops enjoys BJ’s calling him to
say,“Let’s go ride somewhere for a while.” You
may find them later that day 10 or 15 miles
away, or even 100 miles off on an extended
day journey.To see them together, you’d think
they’ve always been a couple, and on a Gold
Wing at that!
In the late summer of 2005, Pops was in
Lake Charles for a doctor’s appointment, and
a local television reporter set up an interview
with him. Pops appeared on a KPLC Channel
7 human-interest spot, detailing his love and
August 2006
passion for life and for riding his Gold Wing.
Then the Lake Charles American Press did a
newspaper article about him that included
some of his philosophies on living life to the
fullest and taking one day at a time.
BJ, who is now GWRRA # 231854-01, has
learned to drive the trike, too, and is looking
forward to taking the test to obtain her own
motorcycle endorsement in the near future.A
recent indicator of her total enthusiasm for
driving the trike came when Pops asked her
to park the trike in the shed while he tended
to some other things. Next thing he knew, the
trike was headed out the driveway to the left,
toward the highway, instead of to the right to
head into the carport.
Pops was shocked, but soon realized that
BJ was simply caught up in the excitement of
her newfound abilities in driving the trike and
wanted to prove to herself and to him that
she could “do it all by myself.” She came back
beaming from ear to ear and they both
enjoyed the moment.
It’s marvelous how a motorcycle can bring
two people from different walks of life together as friends for fun, safety and knowledge.
Pops & BJ can certainly attest to the fact that
an 85-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman
can have fun together even after many others
have traded in their adventurous spirit for
TVs, rocking chairs and bingo games.

Do All GL1500s Look Alike? Absolutely Not!
Danny Brotherson, GWRRA #229928, of
Price, Utah, started off with a 1979 Gold Wing
equipped with a Windjammer fairing.Then he
upgraded to a 1985 Gold Wing GL1200 LTD,
and then upgraded to his pride and joy, shown
here.This is a photo of Danny and his 1995
Gold Wing GL1500 Aspencade taken at the
bottom of Nine Mile Canyon in Wellington,
Utah.

Rus Eaton, GWRRA #110237, of West Des
Moines, Iowa, purchased his 1990 GL1500
brand-new in August of 1992.This Wing is his
favorite color. It took some research, but his
local dealer, Garvis Honda, was able to locate
one that had been in a crate. In the fall of
2005, Rus was able to turn over 100,000 accident-free miles.With his wife, Mary, Rus has
been as far south as Texas and as far north as
Canada. “As much as I would like a new 1800, I
still love riding my 1500. I drive it daily to
work until the temperatures dip below
freezing,” Rus says.

Jim Hochhalter, GWRRA
#121097, invites you to ride the
Beartooth Highway between Red
Lodge and Cook City, Montana. Says
Jim, “More scenery and curves than
any road you can imagine!” He put
95,000 trouble-free miles on this
green machine that is still in the family; it is now being ridden by Jim’s
brother Bob. Jim has moved on to a
pewter-colored ’03 GL1800.

“Three of us just got back from an
eight-day ride through six states, and I
thought this was a great picture for the
‘Readers’ Rides’ section of Wing World,”
writes Richard Ward, GWRRA #135272,
of Roseville, California.
“This picture, taken in Monument
Valley, Utah, is of my motorcycle riding
buddy, Jim Ziola, GWRRA #204240, also
of Roseville, and his 2000 GL1500 SE.
We covered about 2,800 miles through
California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona. Of all the great pictures we took, this one really says it all.”
1995 GL1500 SE
Michael & Cheryl Smith,
GWRRA #162384, of Huntington,
West Virginia, traded in their black
1986 GL1200 Interstate for this
two-tone red 1995 GL1500 SE.
Together, they have attended
numerous rallies and displayed
their bike in many bike shows.
Cheryl says, “We enjoy participating in shows and also meeting and
talking to people about ‘Our
Fireball’.”

The Forefathers Who Paved That
Open Road We Love
By Sharon R. Stanley • GWRRA #249578 • Phoenix, Arizona
I
heard their voices
Throughout my childhood
Though male, sometimes female
Tumbling with grace and dignity from my authorities.
They came to me
From the front of the classroom
From the pages of school books
From their portraits, everyday, in my little hands
As I ran to catch the ice cream truck.
And they spoke to me of intangibles
Like history, and liberty, and sacrifice
Concepts a young mind cannot interpret
Yet can imagine.
Now, years older and miles later
I’ve come to thank them
Though, at first, I thought I came
To claim them. Another stop on the map
Another notch on my handlebars.
Yet standing here, I’m reminded of every teacher who spoke of them
Every book that heralded them
Every hand that minted them.
Whose purpose it was to remind me of these men
So that one day I would understand the history
Of what sacrifices have been made to attain, and retain, liberty.
And I am flooded with the realization that
The open road brought me here
On a Gold Wing that I am allowed to own
In a nation that does not restrict my access to this place.
And I do believe, in spirit,
The Presidents are smiling down from their mountaintop
As thankful to, at last, see us all
As we are to see them. ●
Michael & Kelly Baldwin own the 2005 bright blue metallic GL1800; Paul & Joy Sharrett own the 2003 black GL1800;
Donald Hughes & Dennis Jones own the 2005 black cherry GL1800. All are riders from Ohio’s Chapter OH-P2 in Chillicothe.
This photo was taken last July 4 on their 3,500-mile ride to the Black Hills of South Dakota.
