Saw & Liked An Old Wing

#1

Post by Poustman »

Saw a cool looking motorcycle the other day and stopped to take pictures. Found out it was a thoroughly chopped 1981 Goldwing (that's all I know) and was so taken by the machine that I wanted more, so I joined this forum. Looking forward to seeing the Galleries and various photos.

Welcome to the club. I was in the same situation a couple years ago that you are in now. I saw an old naked wing and fell in love. I didn't know they could be so cool. I thought they all had bags and fairings. Hope you find a good one soon. Good luck.
