My intro

#1

Post by lowcrotch »

Hi all, I decided to do an intro of myself and my GL because I haven't been on this site for a couple years. I "own" a 1975 Goldwing, which is mostly stock. I put own in quotes because this bike was shipped to me by the widow of a good friend, Donny. Donny died a few years ago after a brave battle with cancer. I sadly/happily took the GL with the understanding that I would keep it running and ride it. And I do ride it frequently. Other boring items about me: I am a retired Ford mechanic and a county supervisor in Wisconsin. Btw, Don was a dedicated member of NGWclub, and some of you may remember him.
I will be going to a different thread to ask some tech questions. Thanks for keeping this website! Walt

Great you have an opportunity for a tribute bike. Do you happen to know what Don's username here was?
