Hi all, I've been on board about a week and completely enjoying reading the posts. Although I've never been a big poster, some of you might recognize my screen name from GL1800 and RidersRally forums.
I currently ride a '01 GL1800 with just over 84,000 miles....and that's with working a 6 day a week tractor trailer driving job AND a 24 month period with the bike sitting in the shed, battery out, while I had a back injury that eventually required surgery. So, whenever I can ride I do put on the miles. I'm now retired, so I anticipate some longer riding trips in the future. It will be great to take a trip and not have to think about the need to get back home to go to work on the following Monday. I came up with the roadrunner1800 years ago when I got the 1800 Goldwing because I was putting huge mileages up weekly for work and of course the 1800 for the bike. I had 30 years and 3,000,000 miles driving the big rigs, accident free!
Because of the back issues that left me weak in the right leg, I have decided to put a trike kit under my Wing....still lots of good miles left in it. I've done a lot of hours checking out the different brands and I've decided I like the Roadsmith the best. The hardest decision left now is whether to go with the HTS or the HT version. I really like the looks of both styles.
I plan on having:
- rake kit
- aux fuel tank
- adjustable preload suspension
- performance sway bar
- chrome rear rims
- draw bar and trailer harness
- chrome nerf bar
- unlighted mudflaps
- passenger storage pouches....this is for my wife
If I can figure out how to change the size of pictures in my album I might post a few on this board. Right now all my pictures are full size and I see this board limits the size allowed to be posted.
