Welcome to the forum and to the wing world.

If this is your first bike then you should look into a riders safety course in your area. You will learn a lot taking one of these courses.

Ride Safe Always!!!!

Congrats on the bike ! and I agree take a riders safety course soon, you'll be glad you did !!!

Welcome from the U.P of Michigan and I hope you are a frequent visitor to our site. There are some things we just chat about but of course Gold wings are the biggest topic.I am in favor of a rider safety course along with some practice on your own just to be more familiar with your own bike.Ride safe.

I would like to be fourth to jump in on a riders safety course. I have been riding a long time, and I still take part in Parking Lot Practices and take riding courses whenever I can. Good practices on a motorcycle are real easy to forget, so I imagine, if we don't have them in the first place, we are endangering ourselves and others. Above all, enjoy your bike.

Welcome to the bored, I mean board. How about some photos?

Congrats on the bike! and I agree, take a riders safety course, you'll be glad you did. I was away from bikes for 15+ years before getting back on one and the course helped bring it all back!!!

Witam
ja w tym samym wieku kupiłem pierwszy motocykl Honda GoldWing 1200, do tej pory jeździłem skuterem Yamaha Majesty 250 który dalej używam do jazdy po mieście, jednak jazda GL daje więcej radości. A nie mogłeś lepiej trafić jak na to forum pomiędzy wspaniałych ludzi posiadających ogromny potencjał wiedzy.

I'll try to translate my text in the Google translator, so I browse goldwingdocs if it's quite clear for easy reads that way I'll write the next posts, I ask for an opinion on whether what I wrote is somehow understandable but otherwise does not know how to contact .
I greet all the readers and I apologize for the inconvenience - Christopher

Hello
I am the same age, I bought my first motorcycle Honda Goldwing 1200, and has ridden the Yamaha Majesty 250 scooter which is further used for city driving, but the GL driving more fun. And you could not get better as a forum between the great people with great potential for knowledge.
Farewell

[bustedwing]

Thank you for the translation, and I do hope the Gold Wing is more fun.Keep us advised on how you are doing with the two bikes, it sounds like you can enjoy both .

never too old to start riding. i just started last year myself and enjoying every minute. just be careful and watch out for the idiots. be safe

[ingebretson2]

It's about time! Just kidding, good riding ahead. Only thing I've ever done that feels truly free!

[Sidcar]

I'm struggling with the concept of 56 years without a motorbike but well done, better late than never.
Now the bad news, one bike is never enough. Two is the birthright of any male and is generally considered a minimum (by the male population anyway).

My only problem is that I need knee replacement surgery. Hope my knees will hold up.

[bustedwing]

That's what trikes are made for, real easy on the knees.
