Many Wings have flown away
But I just got another the other day....... Greetings all, I'm Shaun I've had three Goldwings in my 44 years as a rider and enthusiast. And just picked up a 81 naked wing this last weekend. I have always been impressed with the quality of Honda's. The longevity of these machines is a testimony to that quality. I look forward to learning and sharing with all the brother and sister
"Wingers" . Happy motoring to all.
