Classic Black Q & A

I'm thinking about buying a Honda Goldwing and have a few questions.?

I just sold my Yamaha Roadstar. I loved the bike but it didn't meet my cycling needs. 99% of my riding is on the interstate at high speeds, and at night or early morning. My commute to work is an hour each way on the interstate so I want to be as comfortable as possible with extras like a radio(possibly satellite) and as much wind protection as possible. Is the Goldwing my best bet for comfort for year round riding, or should I consider a BMW or possibly a Harley?

Good question!! In 41 years of riding I have owned 26 different bikes. The last 5 have all been Harleys. BUT, I really enjoyed my goldwings too ( I owned 3) Most of the manufacturers offer big touring bikes set up for comfort. I am getting up there in age, and have a series of injuries that cause problems when riding long distance. So, I went to Harley's big "Ultra" Classic, loaded with every option and toy you could ever want. It's like riding a couch down the highway at 80 MPH. On my Dyna wide glide I could ride for about 2 hours before my back and knee's started hurting me. Yes, I used to ride thousands of miles on rough riding bikes, including hardtails that made it look like you were passing red coolaide in your urine because your kidneys were bleeding. Well, I'm older, smarter, and like my comfort now. I can ride for literally hours and hours on that air ride suspension, listen to my cd's, my am fm radio, my CB thru my helmet intercom system which is built into the bike, or, it has 4 nice speakers that I can blast my tunes thru, and has a road noise offset that turns the volume up or down with the outside road noise.I have a full upper, and two lower hard fairings with a nice windshield and can ride in any weather I choose. It has directional vents I added so that I can direct cool air across my legs and upper body, or close em down on cold days. I rode 3 parades and a couple of events in 20 degree temps this year, and enjoyed it. If my wife (who also has had back surgery) is with me, it doesn't bother her at all, and we thought for a while, before we bought this bike that she would have to give up riding. If she isn't, I have a very nice removable back support for my added comfort. I also have those sheepskin covered gel pads for my seats for the really long trips as well. Yes, I know, I don't give off the bad boy image anymore. Tough sh$#. At just under 6'3" , 312 lbs a shaved head and tattoo's, I don't worry to much about "Image". I ride cuz it's what I love. As for the big Honda goldwings? good bikes, really comfy and dependable. BMW is nice, I owned one, but never got into it. Just my tastes. But, for what you pay for a new "wing" you could get that big Harley instead. Course, there are a bunch of people who hate Harleys ( the fools) but others hate Honda's etc. Check em all out, sit on a few, look at the options, warranty, models and colors etc then decide. Don't let "image" decide you on a bike that isn't what you want. And don't let someone else's prejudice decide for you either. I love the sound of a good Harley, but the sound of a crotch rocket with a big pipe just pisses me off, and I used to ride one. Heck, it's louder than a lot of Harley exhausts. I like an exhaust that is louder than stock, but not so loud it pisses off my neighbors or acts as a cop magnet, on any bike.

In the end, it don't matter what you ride, as long as you ride.
