The Wing is Teal and looks GREAT (up close) and had 11,200 miles on it - a bit over 11,4 now.
On the 2 up trip we only had 2 mishaps
1. While cutting across a friends yard (no where else to turn around) I clipped a tree root while going really slow and the bike and I fell over
(wife was not on). I took my helmet off and Jack and I got the bike back up (no damage) and after a bit got back on the road.That wasn't the bad part!
2. At another friend's the bike wouldn't start - turned over just fine, but no start... I'm thinking "OH NO! I GOT RIPPED!!". Turns out that the starter will still work with the Stop/Run/Stop switch in a Stop position
- Who knew? Problem solved Back to mishap 1 === Although I didn't know it until I got home about 2 hours later, when I took my helmet off a hearing aid went with it. At least that was the logical time and place for it to have left. We went back to Jack's and searched and searched - these things are LITTLE. Went back with flashlights after dark and searched again. Nothing - Zip - Nada... Went back this morning and lo and behold! There it was!!
All and all a great adventure for a start.
Next planned ride is to Knoxville and The Great Smoky Mountains
(about 6 hours to Knoxv).This is GREAT! My wife was done after 20 miles on the Harley, but was still ready to ride after 100 miles on the Wing. I think we'll have this scooter for quite a while. Unfortunately, now I have to sell my Heritage Softail
. They just want way too much $$ for official GoldWing ones - at least too much for an old retired guy.
