Re: Cycle World
Thanks for the link Gord, its great to read another article about the beginnings of the Wing and see whats become of it 50 years later. What a fantastic bike it has been through the years. I get a special feeling riding around on a 50 year old piece of history that performs so well and still looks so good.

Re: Cycle World
Good article.
BTW, even though Mr.Honda (the guy my 'Wing is named after) retired before the GL1000 was released I remember reading that he showed up at the test track one evening when they were testing one and took it out for a few laps and apparently he told them he liked it.
