The Goldwing Dynasty

[trike lady]

Many people have not heard the Goldwing referred to as a 'Dynasty', but I find it to be the best way to describe a long running motorcycle name.

Within the dynasty are the families: GL1000 and the unicorn GL1000 12/74 and they are out there. The very rare 1976 GL1000 for the British the Goldwing executive with the Rickman fairing.

GL1100: Standard, Interstate and Aspencade

GL1200: Standard, Interstate, Aspencade and CFI

GL1500: 1500/6, Interstate, Aspencade, SE and Valkyrie

GL1800: with 3 generations. 2001-2010 gen 1, 2012-2017 gen 2 and 2018+ gen 3, F6B and 2 different Valkyries.

For your info here are pics of the rare British 1976 Goldwing Executive.

Cool info

Val, if you get a chance check this museum

He has some Hondas I have never seen before

There's a good chance they may have purchased some Hondas from my friend Bob's collection, a number of museums and collectors were after many of his bikes including the Indian Dispatch tow.

He had over 2000 motorcycle in his collection, 2 Navy Harley Davidsons, a fire department servicar, Shriner editions, liberty editions, anniversary editions, the first Tri-glide with the Lehman conversion and many more. Every bike he had with the exception of a few look like the just left the showroom floor, not one was a restoration.

Bob passed away in the summer of 2016 and left his wife well off and his two sons own 2 GL1500 Goldwings no one wanted a Canadian Edition and a Euro-spec with pizza box style trunk.

WOW, thats some history going on there

 

[trike lady]

It was all housed in a very expensive building on his property, It was temperature control and had security. There was a lot of history there, especially with all the Harley Davidsons, some Indians. He knew how to invest money years ago, he bought land in Florida when it was like a dollar an acre, as well as Kentucky and we're going back many years ago.

1500 Canadian Edition Goldwing

You said no one wants the Canadian Edition 1500 Wing. Can you enlighten me. I have a 2000 1500 SE Canadian Edition with Lehman Trike.

Probably due to the speedometer, KPH vs MPH. :Shrug:

or maybe it only responds to verbal commands in French ...:qpnmt:

Mine already converted to MPH. So not an issue for me when I purchased it

I have no clue why they snubbed the Canadian Edition and/or Euro-spec 1500. The Euro-spec one maybe since the radio is not for U.S. radio frequencies.

Bob purchased the bike from a man who vacation 6 months in Florida and 6 months in Canada. The bike was immaculate. The curators ignored it for what ever reason, not rare enough. :Shrug:

Probably sold some of that land to Disney. Sure hope his kids know how to deal with that collection, some don't, we know how that goes.

 

[trike lady]

Bob sold off his collection prior to his passing away, it would have overwhelmed his wife and 2 sons, but he knew the right people and got in touch with them. I'm sure that Mecum Auctions misses Bob as he was a regular.

He did the right thing, how painful that had to be for him. RIP Bob.
