Are you Old or are you New? Do
you ride an “Old” Wing or a
“New” Wing?
had a friend come up to me and ask me if I
was old or new. He asked if I rode a new
Wing or an old Wing.And then he asked me
if I knew the difference. I must have looked
somewhat puzzled so he explained.
Old Members are a most valuable resource
to our Chapter and to our family. These Members provide us with a
wealth of knowledge, experience of how and what we have accomplished and history as to what we were initially. They show us what we
have developed as an Association and all of the stories of how we came
to this point in our evolution. Old Members provide a sense of stability that allows us to see the long road we have traveled from our modest beginnings as a Chapter, District, Region or Association. Old
Members are friends and mentors that serve as our reference points
and as guideposts to the future. They are our historians; they are our
validation that we are worth existing as a family. They are our record
and our memory and keep us from repeatedly making the same mistakes over and over. Old Members should be treated with respect and
honored for their dedication to us; they’re friends for the long haul.We
really need all of our “old” Members.
New Members are a most valuable resource to our Chapter too.
These Members provide us with a wealth of new ideas and new perspectives on how to do things and accomplish our goals as an
Association. New Members provide a new energy and personal excitement as they become involved in Chapter Life and all of the exciting and

New Wing Fever
ead your editorial “New Wing Fever”
with great interest. I just sold my 2002
GL1800 in anticipation of getting an ’06 with
ABS. I’ve come to the conclusion that ABS is
a requirement for any new bike that I buy.
Much to my dismay, an ’06 with ABS is
going to cost over $22K without a CB. This
is ridiculous! I’ve suffered through premature
tire wear, overheating and a cracked frame
recall with my ’02.
After five Hondas, it’s goodbye Honda,
hello BMW!

2006 Gold Wing Colors And Price
am completely appalled at what Honda has
done to its 2006 Gold Wing! I presently
own a 1991 with 100,000 miles on it and was
going to get a new one in the spring. Now I
am unsure. With Honda for some reason
deleting two of the favorite colors—blue and
pearl yellow, and even the two shades of red
for their rather drab and dull choices this
year, and then the price! After going to their
Web site and seeing a fully equipped Wing is
now near $23,000, I almost gagged! They are
going to price themselves out of new customers and, worse yet, repeat customers—
those faithful to the Wing, such as I was.
Whatever bonehead at Honda deleted
the color choices should be fired. I can honestly say to Honda I will be looking at other
bikes now. There are a lot of good looking
bikes out there with decent color choices
that won’t make you yawn when you look at
them. Odds are I will not be a GWRRA
Member anymore just so I can ride a bike
that is a color I am happy riding.

October’s “Advice”
egarding the editor’s drinking-and-riding
editorial in the October Wing World,
“Advice to Heed or Ignore,” it is with great
appreciation that I commend you on an article well written and most worthwhile! I suppose that knowing where your heart is takes
away the question of “giving advice!”
I’m sure that from your position and perspective you see much more than we do out
here in the “sticks.” Although, over the past
few years we have become aware that intoxicating beverages have begun to be indulged
at various occasions and times of gathering
among GWRRA Members (dinner rides,
hotel verandas, etc.), I have a hard time reconciling the thought of riding home in a
group of bikes in which one or more have
“popped the top” over dinner.
When we began our journey in GWRRA
Chapter life, we were sold on the concept of
“G-rated, family oriented” fun and fellowship. And where non-drinking was decorum
in and around all GWRRA functions.

Advice, Again
ick Hoppner, you hit the nail right on
the head. Although I am not opposed
to a friendly beer or a drink of a favorite beverage, I am against the drink before riding the
N
bike or driving the car.A drink should be the
first step in calling a taxi.
Your article is well written and anyone
who thinks otherwise has a problem with
reality.Thanks for the fine reading.
Be safe.

“Advice” Is About Personal
Responsibility
’ve never written to an editor before, but I
agree totally with your “Advice” editorial.
This is my first full summer with a GL1800
Gold Wing and I agree with the differences
you describe in the biker or rider groups.
I’m a 54-year-old from Indianapolis and I
do not do poker runs as it seems they’re
only about who can get to the next bar the
fastest! I enjoy the ride, not the destination.
I was able to make Wing Ding, the Honda
Hoot, and Honda Homecoming, as they are
not far from my home. It is nice that there is
no alcohol at these events and no crazies
that go along with it.
I do not drink at all, and I try to not be
judgemental, but would people please not kill
my friends or me as we are just trying to
enjoy life! It’s all about personal responsibility whatever you ride. I never thought I could
own a Wing, so the last thing I want to do is
crash it or anyone else’s. Just use your head
and ride safe.
I have found, as I have traveled this year,
when I get off my bike, no matter where, I
could not have found a better and friendlier
group of people than the Gold
Wingers.There may be some jerks out there,
but I have not found any yet!
Another very valuable story in Wing
World was a couple of issues ago about the
guy who was in a hurry and crashed in the
rain.Those are stories we need to hear.

E
xecutive Director Brock,
I am a motorcycle officer with the Fort
Wayne Police Department and just wanted
to let you all know how impressed I was with
your organization.
In all my years of riding my own bikes and
in law enforcement, I have never met a finer
group of people. It was nice to have a group
of bikers around that waved with all their fingers. The kindness, respect, and all-out fun I
was shown made my career. I find it extremely difficult to quantify the amount of fun I had,
especially when I was finally able to get my
hands on the Department’s Gold Wing.
I tried my best to show all involved a good
time. I stopped by some hotels in the morning to organize an impromptu breakfast ride
to Cindy’s Diner downtown. Believe it or not,
I got several Gold Wing riders to follow me.
You all sure love your eats!
Well, I could go on and on, but I would just
end up repeating several times how much fun
I had. I am seriously considering joining you
all in Nashville, Tennessee, so I can relive the
experience.
Look forward to seeing you all again in
Fort Wayne.

have been a Member for six years now and
in the last year I have found the fun and
excitement of Top Gun, testing my skills and
improving the ones I have. (I even got my
brother Bruce, GWRRA #159095, involved.)
I had the pleasure of attending the
Michigan Rally in Midland this August and it
was great! I arrived early at the parking lot
where the event was going to be held.Tom &
Shelly Rushman and their Rider Education
staff showed up ready to set up the tent for
the registration and signing up for the event.
Shelly got all the paperwork ready and handed out to everyone to fill out and sign while
Tom rounded up all the judges for each event.
As Tom was getting all the judges sent to their
spots and instructing them on how to judge
the participants, Shelly was getting all the
paperwork in order and making sure there
weren’t any questions that needed to be
answered, as well as getting the people who
were going to be the walkers ready. The
organization of these people was great!
I was a bit nervous about doing Top Gun
because I have only done this event a few
times in the past. I got the opportunity to
speak with Tom just before it started and he

made me feel like I was the only person there.
But that wasn’t the thing that stuck with me.
After the conversation, he turned to me and
told me to relax and not worry: “We are all
here to HAVE FUN.” Those few words from
Tom made me feel better, so good in fact that
I took first place in the Novice Level! Besides
the nice plaques we received, they also gave as
colored ribbons (blue for first, red for second,
white for third) to wear so people would stop
and ask us what they where for, so we could
talk about Top Gun.
Without these great people doing the
great job of setting up these events and getting them off and going smoothly there would
be a great void in our education in riding
safely these great machines that we all love.
I also wanted to mention that during
Closing Ceremonies Tom & Shelly Rushman
took the time to announce all the winners of
Top Gun. I am sure it made all of us feel really good to have our names called out during
the Ceremonies.
I hope that someday I’ll have the chance to
be more involved with the Rider Education
Program. I cannot thank Tom & Shelly enough
for all the time and energy they put into Rider
Education for Michigan District.

rittany, that was a very nice story you
wrote. Well done! Funny, but my granddaughter Cora was at our house when the
August issue was in the mailbox. I told her
that she should write an article about our trip
and send it to the magazine. Strange somehow, but when we opened the issue, your
article appeared.
When Cora had her 16th birthday in July,
she asked to go on a motorcycle trip with me
to the Oregon Sand Dunes. I said we would,
and we went in August.
So, you can see how you and your grandpa, Raymond Roberts, beat us to the punch!
You are obviously proud of him and I am certain he feels the same about you.You and he
truly exemplify the GWRRA “Family”!
Always enjoy your times together—they

Two Good Deeds In Canada
his past September, my wife & I took our
second cross-country trip from eastern
Pennsylvania to British Columbia and Alberta.
We linked up with our friend Jim from Seattle
and his Suzuki in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, and
headed north from there. After great rides to
Libby, Montana, and Radium Hot Springs,
British Columbia, we worked our way through
Jasper National Park in Alberta. We spent the
night in the town of Jasper and planned to
come back down the Icefields Parkway to
Golden, BC, the next day.
There were various weather forecasts on
the Net, and we chose to believe the more optimistic of them. We left Jasper in the rain with
temps in the high 30s. As we climbed, the rain
turned to snow and the temperatures hovered
just above freezing. We still had more climbing to do. Visibility became a real problem as
well as the snow on the road. Jim pulled off to
discuss our options (really only one–turn
around!).
Almost immediately, a Ford Expedition
towing an enclosed trailer pulled off in front of
us; two guys got out–Raz and Darryl–and
whipped down the back of the trailer. Inside
was a lone Harley; and they said they had
room for two more bikes! We loaded up and
rode with them and their wives for about 140
miles. The weather got much worse and we
saw several bikes deserted along the roadway.
Raz was headed down to Cranbrook to pick
up another Harley but insisted on taking us all
the way to Golden even though it was a significant detour. It seemed a normal day for them,
not doing anything the least bit unusual or
exceptional—just rescuing some bikers and
taking them where they needed to go. Raz and
his friends are from Grand Prairie, Alberta,
where Raz owns a tattoo studio and a store
selling Easy Rider biker clothing and other
accessories. If you’re ever in Grand Prairie,
please stop and see Raz and pick up some
Easy Rider gear. Or get a Gold Wing tattoo.
Second good deed: The only way we could
get the Wing and Jim’s Suzuki in the trailer
was at an angle and with the Wing on its sidestand. The bumps and stops took their toll on
the stand. When we unloaded the bike and set
it down, it leaned way over. A bent kickstand
is not a show-stopper, but not good when
T
January 2006
you’ve got 4,000 miles to go.
Knowing a sidestand would not be a normal stock item, I was pessimistic about any
repairs. But a few phone calls led us to a
Honda dealer–M & M Motorsports in
Kelowna, BC, that had a chrome accessory
kickstand in stock. Since we were headed
through there, we stopped in and bought it.
They had one of their mechanics stop what he
was doing, install the kickstand, and had us out
the door in 20 minutes with a labor charge of
zero! So, if you’re ever in Kelowna, stop in at
M & M where a very helpful Cody and Dave
D. will take care of your needs. Many thanks
to M & M and to Raz and friends.

A Tale of Two Crashes
n June 15, 2005, I was involved in an
accident on New York State’s Northway,
Interstate 87. The accident was in a driving
rain. The roads were covered with water as I
was riding from Saratoga Springs to Albany. I
was wearing a full-face helmet and full rain
gear. My 1990 white GL1500 SE is fully
loaded, including a windshield wiper with
delay.
The accident occurred when I rode over the
white painted line on the road marking the
right shoulder. They are very slippery! The
bike slid out to the right. Then I corrected,
steering to the left, and it slid to the left. Again
I corrected, and then it slid back to the right.
This happened three times and, finally I was
O
heading toward the yellow line marking the
left shoulder and went down into a grass-covered ditch. The bike finally came to an upright
stop. I wasn’t hurt, but the bike was a different
story. Everything below the headlight was
ruined, either ripped off or broken.
I called the State Police, made a report, and
then called my insurance company. I have full
coverage, and I ask the adjuster not to “total”
the bike because I was due to ship it out to
South Dakota on a tractor trailer on July 31 for
the Black Hills, South Dakota, rally.
It took a month to be repaired. The repairs
were $2300; the actual cash value of the bike
was about $5600. (Remember, I have had this
bike for three years and it has 118,000 miles
on it, but it looks new. It has an XM radio,
GPS, cell phone, 10-disk CD changer, CB,
wood grain package, custom paint and lighting
all the way around.)
Finally, on July 18, I got the bike back. I
was ready to ride again. My plane tickets and
hotel reservations for the Sturgis trip had been
made a year in advance.
I got the bike on a Monday after work and
left my truck at the office so that I could ride
the bike home (some 50 miles). I rode home
anxiously, so that I could re-install the things
that I’d removed for the repair shop to do their
work (XM radio, GPS, radar detector). I got
home and did what I had to do. However when
I got everything done, the XM radio wasn’t
working properly.
I made the decision to drive it back to work
on the next morning, (the same route I had
driven thousands of times), so that I could
return it to the repair shop to check out why
my XM wasn’t working. The thought had
occurred to me to just put the bike in the
garage till they picked it up and shipped it to
Sturgis. God forbid, I did not want anything to
happen again. But, I dismissed that thought in
a millisecond because I could not possibly
have another accident! Or so I thought.
I woke on Tuesday morning, July 19, with
only 12 days left to ship my bike to Sturgis. I
asked my adopted son William if he would
mind riding to work with me, so that he could
drive my truck home after work. He agreed.
William was as psyched as I was because he is
a novice rider with his own new Suzuki
Boulevard, also ready to go to Sturgis. So off
15
we went to work. As we got a mile from our
home, the XM radio started to work—I could
not believe it! Again the question popped into
my mind, Should I continue to go or turn
around and leave it in the garage?
Well, I continued. Halfway to work I was
on an on-ramp curving to the right, trying to
avoid the white line (slipping from the previous accident), and there, in the right side offcenter, was a patch of oil 21 inches wide and
16 feet long! No way to avoid it!
My bike just went. William slid off first.
He saw me slide off. Then, as I stood up, I
watched in horror as my newly repaired bike
slid on the oil. Then the unbelievable happened. The new highway pegs dug into the
ground and flipped the bike to an upright position and then flipped it three more times.
The horror of the accident is still fresh in
my mind. I watched my CD changer flip out of
the trunk as it flew open, watched my Tulsa
windshield crush and shatter as it impacted the
concrete grooved roadway. I was bleeding
from the elbow, leg and ankle, and William
was in shock, bleeding from his elbow and leg
as well.
A witness called the State Police and an
ambulance. They arrived, as did my wife
whom William had called. I could not think of
anything but the motorcycle: I was fine or so I
thought. Later I would learn that I had broken
a fifth rib. William was in a state of shock, I
was sure. He is a 25-year-old eager for his first
trip to South Dakota with me. He had just purchased a CB Radio and intercom system for
his new 2005 Suzuki Boulevard to use to
communicate with our group. He had never
been in a motorcycle accident.

At that moment I noticed an older, grayhaired guy walking up to me. He handed me
his business card: “Fixedwings.com” it said.
JOHN R. GUZZO specializing in GOLD
WINGS, GWRRA #205833, from Troy, New
York!
I could hardly believe it. This guy either
has a lot of time on his hands or I was an
incredibly blessed person. What are the
chances that a guy who repairs Gold Wings
would just happen to show up at the scene of
a Gold Wing accident?
Well, I thought the guy was nuts in the
head! I said to him, “Look, it is totaled, there
is no way I can get it fixed in time for the trip
to Sturgis,” and I proceeded to tell him my
plans to ship my bike to Sturgis and that there
was no way that he could fix my bike in time.
He said he would be happy to have my bike
towed to his home and try to repair it for me.
So I agreed and had the towing company take
the crumpled bike away.
The ambulance took us to the hospital.
After about two hours in the hospital waiting
room, we finally left with our road-rashed
bones, sprained wrists and broken ribs.
I called John and asked if we could come
over and see the damage. He cordially invited
me to his home and gave me directions.
At John’s home, my wife Cheryl, William,
and I entered his garage. He offered me a seat
in a chair next to my bike to relax and feel at
ease. As I surveyed the damage, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a pristine
2000 GL1500 SE—white in color, same as
mine! He also had a red 1998 Aspencade 1500
parked next to it. I looked at mine and then
back at the 2000—then asked the burning
question in my mind, “Hey, John, what are the
chances that you could possibly transfer all of
my salvageable electronics to that bike and
sell it to me?”
“Well, that’s my bike; I bought it to rebuild
and I have been riding it. That’s my ride.
However; the 1998 is for sale.” There were
only 14000 miles on it, and it had been customized with a CD player and all the other
standard equipment that comes with a
GL1500SE. Boy, would it look good with all
my stuff on it!
By 9:30 p.m. we had come to an agreed
price, what was to be transferred to the new
bike, and that it could all be accomplished by
the time I was to ship my new bike on July 31,
12 days away.
John worked tirelessly, calling me and
keeping me up on the progress of his expert
electronics abilities. He professionally
replaced all of the items we had talked about
from one bike to the other, GPS, Street Pilot 3,
XM radio. He changed over the exhaust pipes,
Ring of Fire lights, trailer hitches.
Wing World
When it was ready for me to pick it up, it
was perfect! John had single-handily made the
impossible come true! The insurance company
had settled the claim quickly and fairly, but
without John R. Guzzo, there would have been
no Sturgis for me!

Fort Wayne, Indiana, and to visit good friends
in Cleveland, Ohio. We were riding our silver
O
1998 SE 1500 and pulling a matching silver
Escapade SE trailer—truly a handsome outfit,
even if I do say so myself!
We had just crossed the border from Ohio
and were on the off-ramp at the first exit in
West Virginia, going about 40 mph when I felt
some rumbling somewhere in the trailer. It felt
like a bad tire or loose wheel, but I couldn’t
even determine which side had the problem.
The rumbling would start, last two-to-three
seconds then stop, only to start again and last
for another five-to-ten seconds. Then I heard a
thump, and from then on it was clear: the left
wheel was now caught up in the wheel well
and was being dragged by the trailer. So I
slowly brought the rig to a stop right there on
the exit ramp.
I was feeling grateful that we were all still
upright: Marie, the bike and myself. The left
wheel was intact but obviously crooked and
somehow disconnected at the axle. Soon my
concern for the trailer and its wheel gave way
to preoccupation about the fact that we were
currently stranded on an interstate exit ramp.
So we got back on the bike and slowly I hobbled my bike and trailer off the ramp and into
the nearby West Virginia welcome center’s
parking lot. The wheel had never actually left
the trailer, due in part to the deep and well-
designed wheel well on the Escapade.
From then on our potentially serious
mishap turned into an adventure and a series
of opportunities to meet new friends and to
test the mettle of the Gold Wing rider community. Here’s the rest of the story:
Good Guy #1
I lost no time in getting the Gold Book
from my saddlebag, left our distress message
on the answering machine at the home of one
of the riders listed, then promptly called another. Jim Adams answered the phone. He asked
where I was located and what tools he should
bring. I described the problem and we both
agreed that it was unlikely that we’d be able to
repair a three-quarter-inch diameter axle that
had broken off at the frame. Soon our “knight”
arrived in his white truck; he put two ramps in
place and together we shoved the trailer onto
the truck and transported it to Jim’s house back
across the state line in Marietta, Ohio. We met
his good friend, Mary, a genuinely wonderful
lady, and after a beer we all decided that we’d
better get additional help fixing this broken
axle.
Marie & I rode back and spent the night at
the motel next door to the Welcome Center and
the next morning at 7:30 we again showed up
at Jim & Mary’s place. We hauled the trailer

over to an expert welder and Jim’s good friend,
Harry Karcher. After some careful dismantling, Harry decided that the axle could definitely be repaired but the reason for the failure
was not at all clear. It would be best to contact
the manufacturer, California Sidecar, now
located in Colleen, Virginia.
As I said, the story keeps getting better. I
called California Sidecar’s support number
and I didn’t get a menu! I didn’t even get a
receptionist! Will answered the phone. A congenial man who listened to my story, then
asked a few questions, Will excused himself
for 30 seconds then returned saying, “We’ll
cover it.”
I wasn’t sure I had heard correctly, “You’ll
cover what?” The trailer, although looking like
new, was seven years old. “We’ll fix it, there’s
no warranty involved, we’ll fix it. You can
bring it to us or we can overnight the new
frame and you can pay someone at your end to
install it.” You can’t imagine my relief! We
thanked Jim’s welder friend for all his trouble
and proceeded back to Jim’s house where
Mary and Marie were busy trying to line up a
one-way truck, van or trailer we might use to
transport the Escapade to its factory. Her
notion of a safe transport solution was a oneway rental of a truck into which we’d load our
gear, our trailer and our motorcycle. Fat

chance. The cheapest scenario involved a cost
of nearly $400.
Then Jim said, “Why don’t we take the
wheels off your trailer and set it up on my
cargo trailer? (It’s a 4 by 4 flatbed, the kind you
can buy at Northern Hydraulics for about
$150.) We can load it up with both of your
wheels and all of your travel gear, then strap it
onto the flatbed.” Then Jim got another brilliant idea: “We can remove the tongue, put it in
the trailer then connect the wiring harness
back up to the bike, so you’ll have lights!”
Marie was leery. “A trailer on top of a trailer?” Mary said nothing. Jim and I were excited about the idea: it had just the right mix of
practicality and danger. Then Jim added, “Take
my trailer, use it to haul yours to Virginia, then
bring back my trailer in a month or sell it and
send me the money—I was planning to
upgrade mine to a larger size anyway.”
I was quite speechless, a man who had
never met me before was willing to send me
off with his trailer without having so much as
my name and address, much less a deposit.
Before I could even pretend to object, Jim had
already moved his trailer to the center of the
garage and was removing the tongue from the
Escapade.
By noon on Monday we were packed and
strapped and ready to head for Colleen,
Virginia. I called ahead and got advice on the
straightest possible roads; I didn’t want to deal
with hairpin turns while pulling two vertically
stacked trailers! The trip was long (300 miles)
but uneventful. The little red trailer pulled
beautifully, not a twitch, unless it was pushed
hard through some long sweeping turns.
Good Guy #2
We stopped at a gas station just a few miles
north of Colleen. We had just finished filling
up when a large pickup truck pulled up alongside. The driver got out of his truck, smiling at
our trailer-on-trailer rig. A curious onlooker, I
thought to myself, a kibitzer. It was Dwight
Herrington, the general manager of California
Sidecar. It was about 7 p.m. and Dwight was
on his way home after an especially hard day,
but he stopped when he saw us parked there.
He sized up the situation and gave us a good
feeling that we would be well cared for.
The next morning at 8:30 we delivered the
trailer to the factory. Dwight made some notes
about what needed to be done: the entire axleframe assembly had to be replaced and the
heavy scuffing damage on the inside of the
wheel well needed to be fiberglassed and
repainted. He offered me the option of waiting
a day, possibly two days, to get the trailer
repaired or leaving it with them for a week. We
agreed that leaving it would be best since we
were only about four hours from our home in
Raleigh and I didn’t want to add to their
already overloaded work schedule.
But, before letting us go, Dwight asked his
crew to stop what they were doing and con-
struct a four-sided wooden frame, about 14
inches high, that would sit on the little red
trailer’s flatbed and into which we could place
all our travel gear. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. I purchased a large tarp at the nearby Southern States supply store and we used it
to cover the entire load before strapping it all
to the trailer with the ratchet tie-downs Jim
had provided.
The trip home was safe and uneventful.
About this time Marie & I decided that returning the trailer to Jim, in Marietta, Ohio would
take us about four days of riding. We probably
should accept his offer to reimburse him for
the trailer, then keep it or sell it here in
Raleigh.
Good Guy #3
But wait, our adventure and our opportunities didn’t end there. I called my good friend,
Dean Holton, of Honda-Yamaha Team
Powersports here in Raleigh just to tell him
about our adventure and to ask him if he knew
of anyone who’d like to buy a small cargo trailer. He couldn’t think of anyone at the moment
but agreed to call me if he came up with any
leads. Thirty minutes later he called me back
and said, “You know, I’m riding to the Honda
Homecoming in Marysville [Ohio]; I could take
that trailer back for you.”
So, to shorten an already long story, our
third Good Samaritan, Dean Holton, towed the
little red trailer back to Ohio for us. Jim was
happy to see both of them. (In the meantime,
that sideboard frame made by Dwight’s crew
has since been used by Jim to haul five tons of
sand from a river bank!)
Meanwhile, California Sidecar wasn’t quite
through giving us pleasant surprises. In addition
to what they originally agreed to fix, they also
repacked the wheel bearings, replaced the badly
scuffed left tire, replaced both mud flaps with
chromed logo plates, and replaced the trim
around the left side fender. And because I had
neglected to leave them my safety chain I found
a new chain already installed. (For symmetry’s
sake I went ahead and asked them to replace the
right tire as well). Then I discovered several
small specks of hard-to-remove whitish marks
on the paint work and I thought to myself,
“Well, a little factory debris; a small price to
pay for so much good service.” It wasn’t until I
applied some polish and a little rubbing that I
realized that my “little marks” were just dried
wax; it seems they had also polished my trailer!
The entire bill turned out to be $40, the cost
of one new right tire.
The adventure? The opportunities? All
priceless.
So, were these good guys? Good
Samaritans? Angels? Or just typical Gold
Wingers?

Arizona Chapter D Celebrates 25
At an outdoor breakfast on October 8, Chapter AZ-D celebrated
its the twenty-fifth anniversary. Chapter Directors Ted & Teena
Prentice presided over the full buffet breakfast, then introduced many
of the past CDs in attendance.
Chapter AZ-D evolved out of what was called “Group C,” comprised of some of the original GWRRA Members in the East Valley
suburbs of Phoenix (Mesa,Tempe, Apache Junction).
Following the cutting of the commemorative cake and a non-alcoholic “champagne” toast, group photos were taken and a host of door
prizes distributed. All this was to celebrate AZ-D’s chartering as the
fourth GWRRA Chapter in Arizona.

Gerald Johnston, GWRRA #174592, wrote to report on a great
land & sea ride you may want to connect with. Last June, some
GWRRA participants from Chapter VA-C, “The Tidewater Wings,”
gathered in Newport News,Virginia, and rode into North Carolina to
connect with four ferries and ride through some beautiful countryside.The group stopped in Edenton for breakfast, continued by crossing the Albemarle Sound and riding toward Bayview to board the first
free ferry to Aurora. From there they rode to Minnesott Beach,
boarded a second ferry, crossed Ratton Bay, and headed for Beaufort,
NC, then on to Cedar Island.There they had reserved motel rooms
at the Driftwood Motel and Restaurant on Cedar Island. There, the
riders enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner, a walk on the beach and a
good night’s rest.
The next day, the group took the ferry across the Pamlico Sound
to Ocracoke, then rode on to catch the next free ferry to Hatteras.
At Hatteras they rode to the Cape Hatteras lighthouse to view it at
its new site.
Then it was a straight shot northward up the Outer Banks to
Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk.
Gerald says,“It was a spectacular ride with beautiful, mostly sunny
weather without a drop of rain!”

Technical Questions and Answers about Gold Wings and Valkyries.
GL1500 Cuts Out In Fifth
GL1500 Starter Burns Up
My 1995 GL1500SE has 46,000 miles on
it. On an 800-mile trip to the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan, the engine cut out twice. Driving
along in fifth gear, the engine cut out.
Suddenly, no throttle response. I downshifted
to fourth and everything went back to normal.
The second time, I was on an interstate
highway when the engine cut out. I pulled off
to the side and downshifted to fourth gear and
again everything returned to normal. I pulled
right back onto the highway, shifted up to fifth
and in about 30 seconds it happened again.
Again I pulled off the highway and shifted
down to fourth and again everything went back
to normal. I shifted up to fifth and made it
home with no further problems. I was not
using the cruise control in either case.
I am stumped and my local Honda dealers
have no idea what is wrong. Is there an overdrive switch that can go bad? Could I have a
leaf in my gas tank?
David Boyer
GWRRA #130504
Grand Rapids, Michigan
I have a 1998 GL1500 SE with starter problems. The first indications of trouble were with
the engine stop switch set to off; the starter
would run with the ignition on. Or putting the
sidestand down with the ignition on. After
coasting and restarting and turning off the
ignition key, everything worked okay.
Several days later we took a 200-mile ride
and everything was fine. On the return trip on
the interstate, I smelled wiring smoke and then
everything went dead. While coasting to determine what to do, everything came back on. I
let out on the clutch and the engine started
running fine.
I stopped to check out what had gone
wrong. Hit the starter and fire flew from it.
Now it was completely burnt. It appears the
starter stayed engaged after starting. None of
the solenoids are engaged when the starter is
unhooked; everything works. But I’m afraid to
hook up a new starter in fear it might fry it. I
have installed a light bulb on the starter to see
if the solenoids or relays stay engaged.
Is it possible for the starter to stay engaged
with no power to it?
Sammy Gonterman
GWRRA #47607
Zanesville, Ohio
David, your symptoms are classic stoppedup fuel filter symptoms. It sounds like your
engine is burning fuel faster than the filter can
deliver fuel to the carburetors. Change the filter and let us know if that fixes the problem.
Follow-on Questions About
GL1100 Tar & Carbs
I do so enjoy your efforts with the
“Workbench”! Thanks so much for your
answer to the fellow in the August issue about
an absence of spark on his 1982 GL1100.
I have four ’80 and ’81 GL1100s. One is a
parts bike, but the others run. All of my spark
units seem to have leaked some molten tar, but
still seem to work okay. What was your reason
for replacement?
I have a factory service manual. I also have
one carburetor that is rich above 2500 feet and
one carb that is lean at sea level. Got any
ideas?
Jim Wright
GWRRA #153572
Ferndale, Washington
Jim, my reason for replacement is that if the
tar melted out and you get no spark, then you
need to replace the spark unit.
If the tar leaked out and the spark unit still

functions, I highly suggest removing it and filling it with five-minute epoxy to prevent failure
from heat damage.
If only one carburetor is rich above 2500
feet and one carburetor is lean at sea level,
you may need to replace the air cutoff valves
and check the throttle slides for scuffing. Back
in 1983, Honda issued a service bulletin concerning scuffing slides in the GL1100 carburetors.
CB Installation Knocks
Out GL1200 Radio
I recently installed an OEM CB radio in my
1987 GL1200 Aspencade. Before installation
of the CB, my clock, the AM part of the
radio/cassette player and trip odometer all
worked fine. After installing the CB radio,
none of the above now works. My bike has a
digital dash.
Where do I start to check or fix this problem?
David Hershberger
GWRRA #160272
Wampum, Pennsylvania
David, without having your 1987 GL1200
Aspencade here in my shop, I would suggest
you start by removing the OEM CB radio and
then check to see if the clock, the AM part of
the radio/cassette player and trip odometer
work once again. Then install the CB again
connecting one circuit at a time. Check the
clock, the AM part of the radio/cassette player
and trip odometer before and after each CB
radio electrical connection is made.
Sammy, it is possible for the starter to stay
engaged with no power to it if either starter
relay A, starter relay B, or both are sticking in
the closed contact position. Replace those
relays when you replace your starter motor.
Jammed Cassette
Can you tell me how to get a tape out of the
tape player on a 1991 Gold Wing GL1500? I
have taken the radio out, but can’t see a way to
get into the tape player. I can get a little grip on
the tape but am afraid I will do damage if I
pull. The tape seems to be wrapped around
something.
Vinton Foley
GWRRA #81228
Basett, Virginia
Vinton, we suggest that you send the radio
to Sierra Electronics in Ohio. Sierra
Electronics is one of our advertisers in Wing
World, and they can probably get the cassette
out of the player without destroying it a lot
easier than you can.

Aftermarket GL1800 Bearings Sought
In the January 2005 issue of Wing World
there was an article on replacement of the
GL1800’s steering head bearings. The article
was well written but failed to give some
details some others and I would like to have.
The make of the bearings was stated as K&L,
but no number was given for them.
If possible, maybe you could let us know
what the part number is and if there are other
brands that would be compatible.
I have an ’04 GL1800 I would like to
upgrade with that system. I haven’t been able
to find anyone in my area who handles K&L
bearings, so a comparable make, size and part
number would be helpful.
Harlan DeYoung
GWRRA #131878
Watertown, South Dakota
Harlan, the K&L bearings used in the
January article were part number 31-2229
(about $50), but we understand they’ve been
out of stock for about six months.
D&D Discount Motorcycles in Tempe (who
helped us with that article), has been using All
Balls Steering Head Bearings instead. These
are available through either Parts Unlimited
or Tucker Rocky, the major wholesalers used
by most motorcycle shops. The All Balls items
are said to be a bit cheaper, too.
GL1500 Couldn’t Breathe
My Gold Wing GL1500 gave me fits last
summer. The photo shows why.
The engine flooded out whenever I tried to
start it cold. I replaced this filter with a new
one and now it starts and runs fine.
I thought I’d send this picture in case you
might want to pass it along to others who
might be having the same trouble.

Hummm, looks like that air filter gave its
last gasp keeping stuff out of the air intakes!
You might want to install a mousetrap in your
garage over the winter months.

Needed GL1200 Tire Information
Please advise me of the options for putting
new tires on my 1985 GL1200 LTD. To clarify some mixed signals I’m getting from some
Honda dealers, the manual says front:
130/90/16 67H; rear: 150/90/15 74H.

2. Will the bike’s rims accommodate
either?

highly suggest that you do not. The 1985
GL1200 Limited Edition was designed for
bias ply tires, and radials could adversely
affect handling.
The tire sizes specified in the manual are
correct, and you may want to try out the new
Dunlop Elite 3 tires if they are available in the
right size.

GENUINE HONDA ACCESSORIES FOR 2006
Don’t look now, but Honda is firing a
salvo across the deck of the aftermarket
chrome makers. Not only are they pointing
out that their accessories are approved by
the bike’s designers, they also note they’ll fit
without forcing right from the start. (They
should since the original drawings and specs
of the bike are sent to their accessories
guys!)
The other exclusivity of Honda Genuine
Accessories is Big Red’s ability to use trademarked terms like “GOLDWING” and the
OEM “eagle” symbol on extras like the
Chrome Trunk Handle w/ GL Logo
($49.95), their Chrome License Plate Frame
w/ GL Logo ($67.95) and the very authoritative looking Chrome Exhaust Tips with
GL Logo ($259.95).
Some items won’t work on GL1800s
earlier than 2006 (i.e., the Passenger
Armrests—$199.95), but all have that extra
dose of attitude (and price) that screams that
the bike wearing it is owned by someone
who buys only the best for his bike. Hey,
riders of Milwaukee Metal rarely flinch at
paying extra for the corporate insignia, so
why should you?

LDCOMFORT™ RIDING SHORTS
Turkey Creek Tours, a Colorado based motorcycle touring business
specializing in motorcycle touring with altitude, announces its 2006
touring schedule. The company will lead nine carefully planned tours
June through September.
Featured for 2006 are a new Woman’s Tour and the Outlaw Trail Tour.
The Woman’s Tour features eight days and nine nights, accommodations in top quality hotels, B&B’s or lodges, evening meals, breakfasts,
and entrance to the Colorado National Monument. This tour is designed
for the woman who wants a great ride and who wants to be treated like
a diva.

Can an undergarment eliminate hot spots, shifting, binding, pressure
points and chafing when you ride? The LDComfort™ Riding Shorts are
designed specifically for the motorcycle rider by a motorcycle rider.
Truck drivers, snowmobile enthusiasts, horse riders, and even people who sit in an office eight hours a day need some kind of support and
smooth seating surface for comfort.
Regular underwear briefs possess seams and folds that pass directly
underneath the area where most of a person’s weight is distributed,
pushing on pressure points. Loose boxer style shorts offer little support,
Wing World
bunch and gather folds in the material, and end up causing similar discomfort.
LDComfort riding shorts use a seamless seating area and skin hugging fabric and above-the-knee gripper elastic which prevents them
from riding and bunching up. Two-panel, mid-thigh length design eliminates multiple seams and seams in the seating area. This way the rider’s
skin sits only on smooth Dryline fabric that helps wick away moisture
while offering enough cushion effect to act as a buffer against chaffing
from outer garments.
Men’s sizes S-XXXL ($38.95). Women’s sizes S-XXXL ($36.95).

Now what?
TWO BOOKS BY GREGORY FRAZIER
Dr. Gregory Frazier, GWRRA #118065, is
the closet thing to Peter Pan—the boy who
would not grow up. He’s done what some
segment of each of us wishes they could
have—shirk everyday responsibilities and
go ride around the world—four times!
Frazier is the authority on long-distance
motorcycle travel. Though his world circling bike isn’t a Gold Wing, he owns and
rides a Wing in his home state of
Colorado. His experiences are the real
thing whatever wheels he’s on.
Now, for the armchair dreamer in all of us, as well as the serious touring rider, here are two of his books worth owning.
Motorcycle Touring: Everything You Need to Know ($24.95) is a
volume of tips, tricks, and knowledge gained from his decades of
worldwide travel. Greg covers the basics of choosing a motorcycle,
maintenance tips and tools for roadside repairs, and packing supplies,
as well as more advanced touring concerns such as international travel
tips and laws, insurance and currency, multi-cultural interaction, and
long-term trip planning. Softbound, 157 pages, with lots of color.
Riding the World: The Biker’s Road Map for a Seven Continent
Adventure ($19.95) is an able supplement to the
foregoing volume with an added dose of humor
tossed in. “If you’re tall and traveling through
Asia, you’ll find your feet hanging over the
end of the bed.” Filled with adventurous stories, hilarious mishaps, intriguing people,
and detailed lists and tips, Riding the World
is the ultimate resource for experienced and
novice riders alike.
Softbound, 160 pages, again with lots
of color.
Both books available from Whitehorse
Press 107 East Conway Road, Center Conway,
New Hampshire 03813-4012. Phone toll free (800) 531-1133 or

Gold Wing owner!
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).

• Most Gold Wings have air or hydraulically
adjustable rear suspension.
• Add air or hydraulic stiffness to combat the sag of
the bike’s natural weight.
• Determine the correct air pressure or hydraulic
settings for solo versus loaded riding.
• Preset the rear suspension before you ride the
loaded bike.
• With proper setting, the bottom of the saddlebags
will be parallel with flat pavement.

break, making a temporary on-the-road repair quite difficult.
• Never attempt to plug a tube type tire.
Always replace the inner tube.
Insights From The Aftermarket
Motorcycle Tires
What should I know
before I buy?
• Which is my motorcycle designed to
use—bias-ply or radial tires?
(Note: these are NOT interchangeable!)
• What are the correct sizes for my
motorcycle’s front and rear tires?
• How do I know the tire has been
installed in the correct direction?
• What air pressure(s) does the tire
manufacturer recommend for each tire?
• What was the approximate date of manufacture of the
tires I’m buying?

1. 2000 GL1500/DFT
Vicky Sunshine wrote to send us a picture of her husband’s 2000
Gold Wing Trike with its DFT trike conversion. “His name is Artie
Sunshine, GWRRA #202194, from Farmingville (Long Island), New
York. He had it converted last winter. He is a very happy man. The picture was taken at Marcus Dairy in Danbury, Connecticut. If this makes
your column, he would be so surprised!”
2. 1996 GL1500SE/California Sidecar
This is my lavender 1996 GL1500SE with a California Sidecar conversion,” writes Sandy Baker, GWRRA #161985-01, of El Paso, Texas,
Chaper TX-A1. “I always wanted to own a trike, so my husband traded
a Harley for this one a couple of
years ago, and I just love riding
2
and showing it. It has won several
trophies.”
The picture was taken on the
road between Ruidoso and
Cloudcroft, New Mexico, on the
Mescalero
Apache
Indian
Reservation.
3. 1989
GL1500/MotorTrike
“This 1989 White GL1500
with Motor Trike Classic II conversion is my new toy,” writes Kris Ivins, GWRRA #146205, of St. Cloud,
Florida. “I recently bought it so I can learn to ride with my husband who
has a 2002 GL1800. We live in
Central Florida where the usually
4
sunny weather permits us to ride all
year long. I just finished with the
bike’s Extreme Bike Makeover.”
4. 1988 GL1500/CSC &
1990 GL1500/CSC
This tidy twosome is Jeannine
McMahon, GWRRA #166314, of
Longview, Texas, and Wylie
McMahon from Gladewater, Texas.
Jeannine rides a cinnamon 1988
with CSC kit and Wylie rides a
pearl white 1990 with CSC kit.
Their friend, Randy Simcox, converted both bikes. They rode from
Texas to Nova Scotia this summer.

Max Mathews, GWRRA #157303, of Harbor Springs,

beach overlooking Harbor Point Resort. His Co-Rider, Janet,
snapped the photo. For some reason, there were few swimmers that
day and the lifeguard was off duty.

Maybe you’re just getting into motorcycle touring. Or 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.
Pack Within the Triangle
Imagine your motorcycle as triangle
with the points at the bike’s two
axles and the top of the rider’s head.
The best place to load the bike is within the
confines of this imaginary triangle
Pack heaviest items as low and centered as possible;
lighter items can go higher.
Heavy or bulky items packed outside the triangle can
adversely affect motorcycle handling.
For saddlebags and travel trunk, adhere to weight limits
specified in the owner’s manual.

Navi-gating
Arizona on the
2006 Gold Wing
B y
N i c k
H o p p n e r
Sometimes a guy just has to admit his first reactions may not be his longest lasting ones. So it has been with my first editorial take on the 2006 GL1800 Gold Wing. I was admittedly harsh on the new features on the 2006; now I’ve had a chance to
sample them, I can see how they’d be very attractive to a lot of Wingers. Having said that, I am still concerned about the everclimbing price tag for the king of the road.And I ardently believe the option of an anti-lock braking system should not be limited in availability solely to the most whistles-and-bells-laden chariots off the line at Marysville.
his writer was among some of the
motorcycle press invited to sample the new Wing’s creature comforts and amenities October 19 and 20.
Admittedly, I was a bit unsure as to how
well I’d be received by my Honda hosts
after my November editorial’s none-tookind “lipstick-on-the-pig” comment.
Maybe they wouldn’t have read it, right?
Wrong. My first exchange was with
Lee Edmunds, a good friend and member
of American Honda’s press corps. “Hey,
Nick, howya doin’” he opened.“Glad you
could make it to this intro—we think
these babies have some great lipstick to
show you.” Ooops, I guess my cover was
blown from the start.
After an opening informational segment on Tuesday evening held at Coyote
Honda, a brand new local Honda
Powerhouse dealership, we received a
brace of press materials and explanations
of our two-day itinerary. Basically, after
we would take possession of a new Wing
the next morning, we could set our own
pace and detours for the next two days.
Although we gathered en masse for
meals, the riding was free-form. Arizona’s
high country was cooperating with our
desires for photos—the trees were
wearing their autumn colors and the daily
temperatures varied from the 50s to the 80s.
The press guys from Torrance really knew
how to get to me. They know my affinity for
white paint, so the Wing key I got was to a
stark white 2006.Their ploy worked. Because
everything about my own white GL1800 is so
familiar to me, the new Wing’s updates were
all that much more obvious. And growing
accustomed to the new aspects was all too
easy.

Yes, the new tail lights and exhaust tips are
fancy, as is the chrome-colored chrome trim.
But the real changes are in the cockpit. The
left handlebar control cluster on the navi-system-equipped machines has an in/out toggle
switch below the other controls. The color
navi system screen is slightly recessed, and a
small hood shades it for enhanced visibility. A
control panel mounted on the right side of
the fairing accesses all menu functions, such as
inputting destinations and routes. For safety’s
sake, the right-side controls can be actuated
only when the motorcycle is not moving.
The Garmin-supplied Honda Satellite
Linked Navigation System™ shares technology with the units supplied in Honda
Accord automobiles. But the Gold Wing
navi, said to be the first fully integrated
navigation system for a motorcycle,
incorporates a two-gigabyte computer
flash card to drive the system (most auto
systems employ a slower-responding
DVD data log). The navi system can be
updated annually by replacing the flash
card with new map and point-of-interest
data provided by Garmin. The system
has both visual and voice guidance that
employs GPS satellites and a map database to show you where you are and
help guide you to your desired location
anywhere in the 50 states plus Canada.
Aaron Neihouse, the Garmin rep who
accompanied our press trip, says Garmin
is working on extending the system’s
capabilities with software for Europe and
beyond, but couldn’t say when it will be
available.
Unwittingly, I was probably the best
navi-system “crash test dummy” in the
group, as I had exactly zero prior experience with bike-mounted GPS. My guess
was if a neophyte like me could figure it
out easily, almost anybody could. And after a
few abortive episodes in the hotel parking lot,
I was pretty much up to speed and enjoying it.
The Honda-written navi manual is very well
written and illustrated (unlike cell phone manuals that confuse and befuddle).
Truth be known, the system worked far
better than I might have expected. I never
experienced any kind of signal failure, and the
screen was easy to see and read at a glance.
The female voice in my ear was pleasant and

easy to understand; the Navi prompts muted
the music system (and presumably would have
hushed the CB too if the bikes had been so
equipped).
Comparing notes, several of us had a
couple of glitches on the road: directions
given as the software misinterpreted sideexits off the main route as way-points, but
these anomalies were very, very rare. On the
other hand, the navi system’s advance advice
saved the day in finding the entrance to our
hotel in Sedona, an easy-to-overlook driveway. I am sure I would have missed it if I’d been
map-navigating.
Sometimes, though, you can get into a conflict of wills with technology. At the end of a
Thursday excursion to the Grand Canyon, I
programmed the navi to get us back to the
Sedona hotel by the quickest route. It immediately plotted the course, but I’d neglected to
program in a desired way point in Cameron.
So as soon as we were under way, the navi
began to point out that I was not following
the route it had planned for me. The more
often it prompted me with,“Off route…recalculating…,” the more I was amused. I kept
ignoring the female voice and eventually
dubbed it “Navi Nancy” in honor of my first
spouse who also tried to tell me where to go
more than once.
The recalculating feature is awe-inspiring
and should prove very popular with ride planners. Now even the least adept ride leader
can always find the destination. You can even
direct the navi to route you somewhere with
NO U TURNS! Miss your turn, the navi plots
a new course and everybody following you
will assume you know where you’re going!
If you’re like me and you dislike missing a
street sign and ending up in East Hoboken
when you’re overdue in Suffern, you just may
have to upgrade your Wing to get this system.
Unfortunately, you can’t retrofit an older
GL1800 with the new system. Bottom line on
the navi: I really was impressed.
The upgraded six-speaker, 80-watt audio
system is powerful, that’s true, but when I listen to tunes, as a full-face helmet wearer, I
mostly direct the music through my helmet
speakers, so that change alone wouldn’t have
me whipping out my checkbook.
But the heated saddle and handlebar grips
comfort package is another story. It might just
turn the head of my favorite co-rider—who
also tends to make the purchasing decisions
regarding new motorcycles. Here’s why.
My wife Ginny loves the heated seats in
our cars. Even on the occasional rainy and
cool midsummer night in Arizona, she’s likely
to warm up her back with soothing comfort.
Since the 2006 Gold Wing’s heated saddle has
a heated seat and backrest for the co-rider,
thoughtfully equipped with dual controls, she
could be in charge of her own comfort out
there in the breeze.

Now a few words about the much-publicized airbag. None of the press bikes we rode
came so equipped.The airbag option won’t be
available until mid-2006, and if you really want
one, you need to order it now through your
dealer. From the videos I’ve seen, I think the
airbag looks like it has the potential to save
lives and injuries. So in theory anyway, it may
be a very desirable thing. But until some air
bag equipped Wings are out on the streets
and some hapless owners begin real world
testing of the air bag feature themselves, the
jury will remain out. Now, If you’re like me
and do a lot of your riding in and around a
major American city, you probably recognize
that almost any defense against urban equal
opportunity traffic carnage is increasingly
attractive. Next time an uninsured motorist
lurches left across your right-of-way, you may
be thinking pro-air bag thoughts too.
As for the intro trip itself, I wish you all
could have been along.The weather was perfect.The mid-week roads were sparsely traveled, so canyon-carving of the first order was
the daily menu. Many of the moto-journalists
are good riders; all of the Honda employees
ride exceptionally well.
I spent a good deal of time riding and visiting with Bob Axe, the vice president and
plant manager of Honda of America
Manufacturing, Inc. and Tom Briggs, the staff
engineer on the GL1800 project at HAM. In
conversations over meals I heard about some
improvements to the manufacturing lines at
Marysville and about how batches of product
flow down the line with no interruptions.
First some Wings, then some VTXs, then
some Shadows. Until 2006, GL1800s came in
two versions: ABS and non-ABS. Now there
are four different versions—soon to be five
with the air bag option (as well as six colors).
Herein lies the challenge that limits the interchangeability of options for each consumer.
On Friday morning, we broke up the party
and headed homeward. Some of the other
editors rode some of the bikes back to
Southern California.Alas, I rode a van back to
Phoenix. Mark Jr. & Genie Tuttle (representing Rider), Arthur Coldwells & Cathy
Ashenfelter (representing Robb Report
Motorcycling) and Fred & Cherrie Rau (representing MCN and Road Bike) wore grins as
they pulled quietly out of the parking lot,
heading for the open highways. They would
get in a bunch more saddle time on the new
Wings than I, but that’s okay. For them, getting
back to the mountain roads of northern
Arizona takes a day’s trip just to get out of
La-La Land; for Ginny & me, it’s just a couple
of hours away, the tree-lined curves always
promising excitement and beauty—perfect
for Gold Winging fun any day we want.

Honda Satellite Linked Navigation System ™ :
It Gets You Where
You Want To Go
All photos courtesy American Honda Motor Co, Inc.
Few experiences dampen the fun of exploring by motorcycle as quickly as getting hopelessly lost. And once lost, we
motorcyclists don’t enjoy the motorist’s luxury of reaching
over to the passenger seat or dipping into a map pocket for a
quick glance at a road atlas or a map. Riders who own a 2006
Gold Wing need never again suffer that lost-and-adrift sensation, thanks to the Honda Satellite Linked Navigation System.
T
A detailed view of the navi screen mounted just below the Gl1800’s speedometer.
he Wing’s color-screen navi system shares technology with the units
supplied in Honda Accord automobiles. The GL1800 unit, the first
fully integrated navigation system for a motorcycle, is a highly sophisticated, yet easy-to-use system with visual and voice guidance that uses GPS
satellites and a map database to show you where you are and help guide you
to your desired location. It provides map coverage for the 50 states in the
U.S. plus Canada, including accurately mapped metropolitan and rural areas.
The locations of many businesses, hotels, restaurants, gas stations,
Honda dealerships and more come pre-loaded into the system’s memory.
Should a destination not be contained within the system’s database, the
rider can enter the address as a ‘Favorite Place.” In addition, a home address
can be entered to simplify the return trip from any destination.
Physically situated above the ignition key and below the speedometer in
a centrally located viewing position, the navi system screen is slightly
recessed and uses a small hood to shade the unit for enhanced visibility.
Because a touch screen would prove impractical for motorcycling use, a
control panel mounted on the right side of the fairing accesses all menu
functions, such as inputting destinations and routes. For safety’s sake,
the right-side controls can be actuated only when the motorcycle is not
moving.
The left handlebar contains the navi system controls that remain operable while riding: the volume lever and another combined-function lever to
zoom in or zoom out to change map scale, to activate the voice guidance
feature, and a command to view a scrollable list of all directional changes

over the course of the entire route. All navi system controls are fully
weather resistant.
A two-gigabyte computer flash card drives the system, whereas most
auto systems employ a slower-responding DVD data log. Since communities
grow and businesses change ownership and location with regularity, the
GL1800 navi system can be updated every year after the new model year
Gold Wings are released with new map and point-of-interest data provided
by Garmin.
In addition to providing navigational information, the viewing screen
doubles as the menu screen for the GL1800’s audio system. The rider can
toggle between the two functions as needed, but the audio screen times out
after a while and reverts to the navigational screen.
Because the GPS antenna is situated beneath the windshield, metallic
accessories should not be mounted near the windshield; doing so can seriously degrade or even completely prevent the system from receiving GPS
information.
During operation, the GL navigation system offers seven types of screen
displays that can be summarized as follows:
• Maps: The default is Half Map.Also available:Wide Map and Full Map.
• Menus: The five-choice Main Menu and its sub-menus.
• Keyboard: Used to enter names and numbers to search for
locations.
• Lists: Compiled from the system database based on the information
entered; lists act as a gateway to Point Review screens.
• Point Review Screens: For a given location, provides a map, a menu
for selecting the location as a route destination, a stop along the way
(also called a “via”) or as a favorite, as well as route information.
• Route Calculate Screen: Used to input preferences and trigger a
route calculation.
Setting your preferences for a ride route.
• Edit Route Screen: displays the destination and “vias”
with edit options.
The Main Menu includes five overarching functions:
• Setup/Info: Used to change or restore default settings and display
system information.
• Find: Used to find a location.
• Route: Used to create a new route or edit an existing route.
• Favorite Places: Used to ease routing to locations previously saved
as a favorite.
• Go Home: Used to save or route to a home location.
Each of these main functions offers a variety of sub-functions that provide a full range of navigation options and features.
In addition, because the navi screen is full color, various hues give readily recognizable indicators for different purposes, and some default colors
can be changed according to user preference. For example, the route chosen is outlined in blue, a checkered flag pinpoints the route destination and
a green circle indicates a town. The default map background is khaki colored, but yellow, gray or orange can be selected as alternate daytime colors; at night, black is used as the background. And for clarity, a highway
shows as black during daylight hours; during nighttime operation, the color
switches to blue-green against a black background for improved legibility,
while interstate highways are shown in red.
The Honda Satellite Linked Navigation System is remarkably intuitive in
operation; those new to such devices should encounter few obstacles when
first using it. At the same time, its feature-rich design allows for extremely
sophisticated route planning and its mapping and location listings will surely prove to be helpful while planning your next Gold Wing vacation.

Summer’s End
Bike Ride
By Mike Stone • GWRRA #208892 • Gilford, New Hampshire
As Hurricane Rita gained strength and swelled into
a monster storm in the Gulf of Mexico, six Central New
Hampshire Amateur Radio Club members were enjoying a motorcycle ride in New Hampshire and Vermont
in bright sunshine and dry, pleasantly warm weather on
the last day of summer. Dave Sticht (WB7BWP),
Marvin White (W1KWM), Jack & Bernie Garneau
(KB1CSS), Sam Sargent (N1OVA), and Peggy & I
(K1VE) left the Meredith docks at 9:45 a.m. and meandered our way along back roads through Sanbornton
and Franklin toward the western edge of New
Hampshire. We stopped for a break and photos at a
beautiful spot in Newport, off Route 10 where a newly
built covered bridge crosses the Croydon Brook. Later,
lunch was hastily consumed at a Burger King in
Claremont, but Marvin’s comments about the quality of
the food cannot be printed.
fter lunch Sam suggested that we stop and take a
look at the renovation of the Flying Yankee train
(http://www.flyingyankee.com/). After stopping
for directions four times and circling the bizarrely configured center of Claremont, and after what seemed like an
hour of searching, we eventually found the area where the
trains had been located. However, we were disappointed to
learn that the trains had been moved a month earlier to
North Conway.
Our next stop was at The Fort at #4 Living History
Museum in Charlestown, NH, along the bank of the
Connecticut River. The Fort at # 4 recreates life of the eastern frontier during the French and Indian War era. Within
the log stockade are province houses, lean-tos, a Great Hall
and watchtower. Outside the palisade walls are a working
blacksmith shop and two 18th century barns. We gawked
over a fence at the stockade, checked out the gift shop, and
spoke with an authentically dressed tour guide who lives in
Laconia. But we didn’t pay the $6-to-$8, entrance fee. After
all, the fun and excitement of riding a motorcycle in fine
weather usually exceeds what you find when you get there.
Three of the motorcycles are equipped with 2-meter
communications. Jack and Bernie have a Radio Shack
HTX 202 HT, Sam has a Yaesu FT-VX7R HT, and Peggy &
I have an Icom 2000H mobile rig. We all use GAM antennas—they don’t need a ground plane and they are very light
and easy to mount on the bikes. Communications at times
was very difficult due to wind noise in our mics. It would
be a big improvement if we would integrate our radios into
our bike’s internal communications systems. At one point,
Sam announced over the radio, in the midst of a large
amount of wind noise, that he had let five pounds of air out

of his rear and the bike rode much better.
After Jack and I laughed about his statement,
Sam told us that we missed the word “suspension” after the word “rear.”
The Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club
(MARC) has information on radio installations and interfaces on their Web site, so perhaps we can solve the wind noise problem by
using headsets. Check out http://www.marchq.org/ to access their Web site.
We crossed the Connecticut River on
Route 11 at Charlestown and enjoyed riding
along the rolling and winding roads, brilliant
green fields and pastures, with the first tinges
of autumn colors in the deciduous foliage
covering much of the landscape. Some of the
terrain in rural Vermont reminds me of rural
areas in Virginia and Kentucky. The first
falling leaves of the season, drifting across the
roads, borne by a gentle westerly wind,
reminded us that the end of the motorcycling
season was approaching.
At around 5 p.m. we passed just south of
Mount Ascutney and looked up at the huge
antenna farm standing well above the trees. I
temporarily switched the 2-meter transceiver
from our simplex frequency to 146.76 MHz
and listened to the crystal clear output of the
repeater as hams were participating in their
usual weather net. No wonder the Ascutney
repeater works so well even back in the Lakes
Region. The 3140-foot mountain is the highest point for miles around and there is nothing
higher between it and us.
We headed back toward New Hampshire
on Route 103 with the setting sun warming
our backs. The scenery in Vermont along
Routes 11, 131, 5, and 100 was unbelievably
beautiful. The low angle of the sunshine illuminated the buildings and landscape, reflecting highly detailed textures and colors that are
only fully visible under ideal lighting conditions. The beautifully built stone buildings,
slate roofs, and old, weathered pine-sided
barns stood out as if they were illuminated by
a supernatural luminescence. Cow corn standing straight and tall and ready to be cut along
the roadsides tended to create a miniature
likeness of sections of Iowa and other midwestern states.
Interestingly we didn’t see one “For Sale”
sign on any land. Apparently most Vermonters
are satisfied with their way of life and are not
trying to make a quick buck on real estate as
some are doing in our neck of the woods.
We stopped for supper at the Weathervane
in Lebanon where most of us enjoyed the
restaurant’s specialty, fish and chips. After
supper we all dressed in warm clothing and
prepared for a quick ride back to the Lakes
Region. Under a brilliant star-lit sky in pleasantly cool 60-degree air we made our way
back home with minds overloaded with vivid
memories of a fantastic day in the saddle and
our bellies full of fresh and tasty haddock. ●

Making Space for Toys!
Now that my wife Lori & I have gotten back
into bikes for several years, we have consistently added goodies and toys to our
“riding stable.” It has gotten to the point we
have run out of room for our vehicles, as the
garage is full of bikes, trailers and gear.
I
ride most of the year if possible, but up here in
the Pacific Northwest, the weather gets a little
wet and makes night driving hazardous. I usually
park the bike for most of the winter months with an
occasional ride when the weather permits.
What do I do with all my gear, trailers and bikes
during the winter semi-hibernation? Things get pretty crowded now that my sons park their VTXs here
during the winter also. Most of the time, my trailers
sit out, taking up space even though I have a doubledecker style trailer rack made of wood.The problem
I have is it takes three or four people to either park
or retrieve my cargo trailer which sits on the top. I
wanted a way to make it a one-person operation,
and the other day, a catalog from a tool company
provided the answer.
I am not sure how large a company it is, but it is
called Harbor Freight tools (http://www.harbor-
January 2006
freight.com/.) They advertised a 440-pound electric
hoist for just $59. I thought this would work great
for my Cycle Mate LTD cargo trailer and set out to
make this project work.
The hoist has two U-shaped brackets which fit
on top of the hoist.The task was to figure a way to
attach them to something that would allow it to
slide. I initially felt that a chain link fence gate roller
would do the trick, but felt I would try something
first.
I found a length of one-inch pipe in my cluttered
garage and it was about the right length for my project. A quick trip to Home Depot (they know me
there like they knew Norm at Cheers) and I found
what I needed. I would bolt a two-by-four to the
rafter, and screw a round base fitting to the pipe and
bolt that to the drop down two-by-four. On the
other end, I picked up a couple of heavy gauge chain
link fence brackets to bolt the pipe to the end of the
51
roof joist.
Assembly was fairly easy. I attached the
brackets to the joist and inserted the pipe. I
snugged it down a little and then tied a rope
to the other end over a joist to support the
open end of the pipe. I had the rope about 24
inches down the pipe to allow installing the
hoist. I then took the two-by-four with a 12inch section nailed to the end making a T
shape, so to speak, drilled three holes in the
52
roof cross joist and bolted the brace on.
Once it was on, I simply leveled it, drilled a
pilot hole, and then added a few lag bolts to
make sure it could handle the weight.Then I
tightened the other end, plugged it in and it
was done. Simple, but so very helpful. Why
didn’t I think of this before? Now I can load
and unload my trailer in less than five minutes by myself.
With Lori manning the camera, we completed a load and unload test. For my sling, I
took some climbing rope (found in the
garage), and looped it around the bumper
onto the brace and around the tongue
between the cooler and trailer. I simply found
the center spot, hooked both loops to the
cable hook and we were ready to go.With the
corded remote for the hoist, I simply watched
as I lifted the trailer. Once the tires were clear,
I pushed the trailer over. It pushed okay, but I
would have liked it a bit smoother. I slowly set
it down and pushed the trailer in and there
you go, I was done! Of course, the unloading
works in reverse. Later, I applied a thin coat of
grease to the pipe and that solved my problem.
During the summer, I can store the trailers
the right way and when Lori wants to make an
afternoon Costco run, I can have the trailer
down and be ready to go in minutes. Now if I
can just figure out how to store my bike
hauler in the driveway!

A Little Rivalry Benefi
By James Wishbow • GWR RA #181652 • Freehold, New Jersey
On October 2, 2005, the GWRRA community came out in a big way to support Western
Monmouth Habitat for Humanity, Freehold, New Jersey. They also made “the other”
motorcycle association eat a little crow, which was a lot of fun for all the parties involved.
There is a good story to tell about this, but first I’ll have to give you some background.
am an avid motorcyclist and am also
involved in a local Habitat for Humanity
affiliate, Western Monmouth Habitat for
Humanity. Habitat is a non-profit organization
that provides decent housing to deserving families. Families have to meet three main criteria
to qualify for a home: 1. “There has to be a
need” which means that they have to be living
in substandard housing. 2. “There has to be an
ability to pay” which means they have to be
able to afford the house. Habitat does not give
away the house for free. We sell the house to
the family at an affordable price with an interest-free mortgage. 3. “There has to be a willingness to partner” which means the family
has to do what we call “sweat equity” before
they can get their house. They have to come
out and put in many hours of work at various
Habitat projects. One of my favorite ways to
describe the Habitat philosophy is that we offer
a hand up, not a hand out.
Like most charitable organizations we are
always looking for ways to raise money, and
back in 2000 I came up with the idea to have a
motorcycle ride to raise funds for our group.
The Board of Trustees let me run with the idea,
although I think they all thought I was a little
crazy, and on October 7, 2000, we held the
“Western Monmouth Habitat for Humanity’s
First Annual Ride for Affordable Housing.”
Thirty-eight motorcycles attended and the
fundraiser was off the ground with $6000 in
donations. The event has grown every year
since and has developed into a 60-mile escort-
I
54
ed run. In 2004 we had over 270 bikes show up
and we raised over $26,000.
Enough background information. Now I
can tell you the story. I made a good friend,
Tom, at the first ride, and since then he has
helped me run the event. The interesting thing
is that Tom rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and happens to be the Director of a very
large Harley Owners Group (HOG) Chapter.
This group is made up of the finest and most
generous people you would ever want to be
with on or off a motorcycle.
In 2004 this HOG Chapter rolled into the
registration site in a tight parade formation, 45
strong. Everyone stopped what they were
doing, and not just because of all the noise
their bikes were making, but to watch them
come in. A little while later one of the proud
HOG members teased a Gold Wing owner
about there being such a small showing of
Gold Wings. It was done in a good natured
way, but that poor individual had no idea that
he had just thrown down the gauntlet to the
wrong person, Desi Smith, Chapter Director of
Chapter D of New Jersey.
Desi decided that in 2005 GWRRA would
be the group to turn heads at the Habitat Ride.
Chapter D’s annual charity ride was postponed
for 2005 and this allowed them to throw their
full support behind the Habitat event. Desi hit
the ground running, and the ride was promoted
at every Chapter she visited, including our
District Rally in September.
A week before our October 2 event, 39
bikes were confirmed, and we decided to
group them up about a half mile away at a
Dunkin Donuts. (We still need to eat, don’t
we?) The bikes were scheduled to arrive a half
hour before the ride was to start, and I
arranged for the police to escort them in.
At 11:30, the police blocked the intersection and in came the District Director on
the lead Gold Wing carrying the American
Flag and the New Jersey State Flag. Behind
him was the rest of the group, honking their
horns and waving as they made their entrance.
Desi was somewhere in the crowd taking
pictures and as they rolled in a HOG member
asked her how many there were. She answered
80, and he said, “Yeah, right.” Five minutes
later, as they were still pulling in, he asked a
little sheepishly, “Did you say 80?” When it
was all said and done it was 54 Hogs to 80
Gold Wings and a few other Hondas. WE
SMOKED THEM!
Chapter D was able to pull eight of New
Jerseys’ nine Chapters out to the ride along
with Chapter A from Delaware. Our District
Directors, Ed & Jan Staib, Assistant Directors
Bud & Marilyn Barry, and Assistant Directors
Pete & Pat Lucero also came to the event. All
in all, the Wings took the day, and made quite
an impression.
The Sixth Annual Western Monmouth
Habitat for Humanity’s Motorcycle Ride for
Affordable Housing held on October 2 had
over 600 motorcycles attend, and we raised
over $47,000!
If you have an interest in us or the event,
you can go to our Web site, www.westmonhabitat.org, and if you have any questions, you can
send an e-mail to my attention. Our “Seventh
Annual Ride” will be on October 1, 2006, if
you wish to attend. The Web site will have all
the information by May 2006.

he Central Florida Precision Drill Team
made the most of its inaugural entry in
the 2005 motorcycle drill team championships held in Nashville,Tennessee, by riding
away with the grand championship. The twoday 2005 World Championships came down
to three of the best teams in the country
going head to head.
The twelve-man Central Florida team also
represented a first in the world of motorcycle
drill teams; its team consists of HarleyDavidson and Honda Gold Wing motorcycles.
These two heavyweight makes are the usual
drill team choices, but they have never been
combined on the same team before.
Central Florida took first place, Al Menah
Shrine from Nashville took second and Fort
Lauderdale Harley Davidson rode off with
third.
The overall competition also featured individual freestyle for those with a few tricks up
their sleeves. Entries were Warren Peltz,
Christoph Matti and Stan Kuczynski of Fort
Lauderdale along with Gregg Fisk from the
Central Florida Team. Much to the crowd’s
pleasure, each rider tortured himself and his
machine. The results of the individual
freestyle were Gregg Fisk, first; Warren Peltz,
second; and Christoph Matti, third.
Established in 2000, the IDTF World
Championships have been held in conjunction
with the Motorcycle Jubilee rally. The Jubilee
was held in Springfield, Missouri, until its move
to the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville for the
2004 championships.
The site of future IDTF Championships
has not yet been announced.

Getaway to
Vegas/Oatman
By Jan Ikle • GWRRA #116774-01
Charlotte, Michigan
souvenir shops for us gals who like to shop. It
was a lot like stepping back into the Old West
days of Dodge City.
By the time we left Oatman and made our
way back to Vegas, it was after 9 p.m., so we
put the bikes in the parking garage for the
evening.
After being on the 1800 all day—and considering we hadn’t been riding for three
months—we thought we’d be sore in the
buns, but that bike rode so comfortably we
could have ridden for another 100 miles that
day. Scott also commented he thinks the 1800
isn’t as top heavy as our 1500.
The next morning we got back in the saddles and rode to Hoover Dam—also a nice
ride with hills and curves. It really was a bummer when we had to return the bikes that
afternoon. Back at the hotel, the valet atten-
dant said, “Oh, no, you had to take the bikes
back already?” I think he envied us the time
we were able to enjoy the bikes.
On the twenty-fifth, we flew back on the
midnight flight with the same group we’d
flown west with. But the noisy group looking
forward to hitting it big on the westward flight
was very quiet now, and most of us slept most
of the flight away.
Our January getaway was a great vacation.
It was very relaxing, the sun was shining, and
the best part was renting the bikes.We highly
suggest this to all who ride. Rent a bike and
see some sights!

Last January 20, four of us flew from
Michigan to Las Vegas and a warmweather riding vacation. This was the
first vacation without the kids for our
friends, Dan & Karyle Beard.
We stayed at a hotel on the Strip and
while there we rented a couple of motorcycles from Motouris, Inc. Scott & I chose to
rent a GL1800 (since we own a GL1500); Dan
& Karyle rented a Harley.We give Motouris a
ten-plus as they are a well-organized, well-run
outfit.We picked up the bikes in the morning
and had to return them the following day by
noon.
The mechanic who works on the bikes
told us of a place way out in the desert that is
a definite must-see, especially if you’re on
motorcycles, with Old Western charm and
tame burros wandering the streets.
We left Motouris and headed for Laughlin,
Nevada. Once through that gambling town,
we traveled east across the Colorado River to
Bullhead City, then looked for Boundary
Cone Road (Old Route 66).This was one fantastic ride to Oatman! The weather was in the
mid-70s with sunny skies (unlike what we left
behind in Michigan!).The curves and hills were
awesome! We kept going and going and were
wondering just what we were getting ourselves into when we finally began to see some
houses up ahead. As you come to the outskirts of town, you’re likely to see not only a
“Welcome to Oatman” sign but also a couple
of burros standing in the middle of the road
to greet you. Years ago their ancestors were
abandoned by local miners; the four-legged
beggars now panhandle freely up and down
the main street, dropping their calling cards
wherever they go.
Oatman’s mining town history has made it
a tourist haven.Today there is a saloon, an ice
cream parlor, a hotel, a jail, restaurants and

To Go
visit Central Tennessee and Nashville this summer. While today’s Tennessee is ultramodern and painful memories of The War Between the States have faded, history
buffs and patriots alike will have many opportunities to visit key locations where the
course of history was changed forever.
The following is excerpted from the excellent interactive Web site furnished by the
Tennessee Historical Commission (www.blueshoenashville.com/civilwar.html).
Union Army encampment at Nashville.
n the eve of the great catastrophe that
engulfed the nation in 1861, Tennessee
stood at the center of national affairs.
Home of two presidents and a tradition of
Jacksonian nationalism, Tennessee had earned the
nickname “Volunteer State” in the forefront of
America’s wars of expansion.
It was the second most populous state in the
South and furnished more soldiers for the
Confederacy than any other state except Virginia.
Tennessee also furnished more men for the Union
cause than all the other Southern states put together. Considered the “breadbasket” for the Lower

The state also possessed a significant portion of the
South’s manufacturing capacity in the form of ironworks, munitions factories, gunpowder mills, and
copper mines. Through Tennessee ran the South’s
main east-west rail lines as well as the western
Confederacy’s principal north-south line. The heart
of commerce and trade in the Upper South,
Tennessee held enormous strategic importance
because of her economic resources.
The state’s slave population had increased at a
faster rate than the general populace, going from
22.1% of the state’s inhabitants in 1840 to 24.8% in
1860. The value of slave property rose considerably

holes. The State Museum includes a large Civil War section with
descriptions and artifacts from each major battle in Tennessee, audiovisual presentations, firearms, uniforms, paintings and photographs of

River, and 23,000 became casualties in one of
the bloodiest battles fought in the western theater. Bragg’s Confederates withdrew after the
battle, allowing Rosecrans and the Union
Army to control Middle Tennessee. The battle
set the stage for the Union advance to
Chattanooga. With the battlefield left in the

supply depot and one of the most extensive
field fortifications in Tennessee. Stone’s River

2005 GL1800
In September of 2004, after not riding
since college, kids, career, etc, Jim & Midge
Creed, GWRRA#225483, of Akron, Ohio,
bought a beautiful ‘99 Wing on an impulse.
After nine months and 11,000 miles they had
to have a new one as they had become
addicted!
“We trailer the new Wing behind a
motor home and have had the opportunity
to travel coast to coast, north-south and
east-west, and have enjoyed every minute
and mile of our adventures.What a great
way to see our great country!”
That’s Midge and the new Wing on the
road to Mt. Evans in Colorado.

1976 GL1000
Larry Cole writes, “As much as I
sometimes envy those with the latest
model, the Classic Wings still have the
right stuff.With only 114K on it, I figure my Classic is good for at least
another 100,000 miles.” In September
he took a short trip from his home
near Denver into Utah and Arizona
and was confident “Ol’ Yeller” would
get him home again.This shot was
taken in Colorado National
Monument.
2000 Valkyrie Interstate
“I am submitting this picture of
my 2000 red and black Valyrie
Interstate on my trip to Michigan in
May 2005,” writes Garrett Broenner,
GWRRA #162700, of Mundare,
Alberta.The photo was taken on the
Circle Tour of Lake Michigan.
Broenner adds, “As a Big Boy of
250 pounds and six-foot-three, the
bike fits me well, and its horsepower
moves me effortlessly down the highways.

1981 GL1100 Standard
Jerry Sherwood, GWRRA #219376, of
Mooreland, Indiana, used to ride old-school
choppers.Two back surgeries later, he tried his
first Gold Wing “Man, what a ride! We love it!
When we go for a ride now, we always say we
wish we could just keep going.”
Jerry has learned this 1981 GL1100 Standard
is a rare bike: the fairing is a Califia by Bates;
only 500 of these were made in 1977.The bags
are by Bates too.
The photo was taken at Summit Lake, one of
Indiana’s newest state parks.

1986 GL1200 Aspencade
John Schumann, GWRRA
#170259, of Zumbrota, Minnesota,
took this photo of his 1986 Aspy last
August in Custer State Park, South
Dakota. On his trip he also visited
Yellowstone and Glacier National
Parks.Writes John, “I can’t think of a
better way to see the country than
on a Gold Wing!”
1995 GL1500 SE
Dallas & Judy Greer, of Ocean
Shores,Washington, got married
on the first day of summer standing next to this pearl glacier
white Gold Wing and the Truckee
River in Reno, Nevada. “We
bought this bike from long-time
GWRRA Member Ken (“Tiny
Tim”) Wicker (Judy’s cousin).We
are enjoying our Gold Wing and
our new life together.”

T O U C H E S
From My Gold Wing Seat
By Johnnie Mohr • GWRRA #174712 • Taylor Ridge, Illinois
I
’ve seen the swamps and the cajuns
Down in the Louisiana bayous.
I’ve seen some federal prisons
I’ve even seen a hangman’s noose.
Been to a factory in Marysville
Where everything’s so neat,
Yes, big or small,
I’ve seen it all
From my Gold Wing seat.
I’ve ridden the Bear Tooth to the top,
And the Blue Ridge down to Cherokee.
In Reno, I’ve even made a stop
The gambling places I had to see.
I’ve seen the tides in Fundy Bay
That can rise over forty feet.
Yeah, big or small
I’ve seen it all
From my Gold Wing seat.
I’ve been to many a cycle rally,
Wing Ding, Sturgis and Americade.
Three Honda Hoots down in the valley,
And out west, the Sierracade.
But on weekend rides with Chapter friends,
The biggest rallies can’t compete.
Yes, big and small,
I’ve done it all
From my Gold Wing seat.
I took the highway through the Yukon
On the way up to Alaska.
There’s been many a beach I’ve camped on.
Can it get better than this? I’ll ask ya.
I’ve been to the mountain tops in Colorado,
Mount Evans and Pike’s Peak.
Ya know, big or small,
I’ve seen it all
From my Gold Wing seat.
I’ve crossed the mighty Mississippi,
The Colorado and the Ohio.
I’ve followed the wide Missouri,
And I’ve been to places others wouldn’t go.
The back roads of America,
For scenery, they can’t be beat.
Ya know, big or small
I’ve seen it all
From my Gold Wing seat.
On seven Gold Wings I have traveled,
From the Mohave to Key West,
At many vistas I have marveled,
From Nova Scotia to Alaska’s best.
When you climb aboard a Gold Wing,
It makes your travels more complete.
Because big or small,
You can see it all
From your Gold Wing seat.
I hope my travels are not over,
There’s lots more that I would like to see,
I know that I’m just a rover,
On the road, my Gold Wing and me.
With my Gold Book and my atlas
There’s many friends I’ve yet to meet.
Yes, big and small,
I’ll do it all
From my Gold Wing’s seat.

Lee & Anna Nelson, GWRRA #173644, of Blackfoot, Idaho, own this 2003 Candy Orange GL1800 with matching Escapade trailer. It is parked in front of the
Grand Teton in Western Wyoming. The photo was taken on the return trip from the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Nelsons have ridden through most of the
Northwest including Canada. The bike has a dragon motif and the trailer is called “The Dragons Tail” and the Nelsons say, “No matter where we go, the bike
always seems to draw a crowd with its dragon theme. A beautiful bike in a beautiful country, what more could you ask for?”
