Re: First time posters, say hello!
Received an informative email today. Decided to take the recommendation to say hello to the group.
So, I'm new to the wing community having joined a year ago when I bought a used 2008 GL1800HPN (42k odo).
Although I'm new to riding a wing, I'm not new to Honda or motorcycling. I own and operate a 2016 harmony lawn mower (replaced a 1994 model), a 2002 Civic LX (nearing 100k odo), a handy portable generator, and a 1972 CB360 (needs work, but can run).
I'm a career Air Force veteran, and lived in Texas, Mississippi, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Bosnia, Croatia, Guam, Japan, Azores Portugal, Hawaii, and Okinawa. In many of those places I rode around on two wheels and a motor. Vespa, Cub, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley, and Honda I've ridden my fair share of motorcycles.
So I've settled down, for a while, by Scott AFB in the St Louis area. I've kept the CB360, Harley Sportster, and added a Honda Goldwing.
Nice to meet everyone,
Nivad

Re: First time posters, say hello!
Howdy, fellow Wing riders. I'm from the Great State of Texas. I'm not new to this bunch of riders because I joined back in 09'. Briefly, I've been riding Wings exclusively since 1978. I've owned a 78' GL1000, a 87' GL1200 Interstate, a 94' GL1500 SE, a 96' GL1500 SE and my current ride, an 05' 30th Anniversary model. All of my previous Wings had well over 100K on the odometer when I sold them and I'm working on the 05', it currently has 97K on it. Just like to say this forum has a great bunch of folks here it's very informative on all models of Gold Wings. Welcome to all the new members, I think you'll enjoy your stay! Ride Safe!

Re: First time posters, say hello!
Hello, I am Chad and I have an 82 Aspencade that is currently in pieces. I was given the bike by a family friend just before he passed with ALS. I need some encouragement to finish this bike. I am mechanically inclined but this bike needs help. I have almost everything I need to get it running. Any good mechanics is Ma. on This site? Look forward to meeting up at an event someday.

Re: First time posters, say hello!
Hi to all.
I joined in March of this year and have posted several times, but here’s my scoop.
I am 59, born and raised in North East Texas and now call Rockport Tx home. My wife enjoys riding as much as I do and we have put many miles on our Goldwings.
We have owned many bikes and out of those were a 1981 GL1000 Interstate, 1985 GL1200 LTD, 2 1988 GL1500s and now have a 1999 GL1500SE.
Of all the forums I checked for info, Goldwingdocs seemed to have the best format and a lot of knowledge. I have saved a lot of time getting our bike road worthy using the DYIs and getting answers from all of you good folks.
Thanks,
Dave
