Re: new to the biking world
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!!!!

Re: new to the biking world
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.

Re: new to the biking world
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.

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.

Re: new to the biking world
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 .bustedwing wrote:Grawer, I am sorry but I only understood "honda goldwing 1200" and if you are are a new member welcome and if you can understand me , which I doubt, but thank you for joining and I do hope we can help if you run into problems.
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

Re: new to the biking world
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.

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