Don't know what is normal for an intro, but here goes. 25 Years USMC officer (Colonel USMC *Ret) F-4 driver one tour in Vietnam. Rode a Kawasaki 250 Enduro in the Chocolate Mountain in California and Arizona for three years while stationed at MCAS Yuma. In 1995 through 1997 owned a HD1200 Sportster, HD Convertable Low Rider and a HD Ultra. Put 127,000 miles on the Ultra. Now own an 08 Gl1800 Goldwing with 248,000miles on it. Crossed the Arctic circle on the Haul Rd in Alaska and Norway.
Rode the four corners twice. Longest trip... 17,700 miles done one of the four corners. Crossed all the major passes in all the countries of Europe who call their mountains...Alps. Now committed to PGR missions. Director ALR Post 71 North Augusta, SC While on a PGR mission tore my Achilles Tendon attempting to lift the Goldwing on to its centerstand. Still in a boot and doc say will never ride a two wheeler again.
Just purchased a 2016 Tri Glide and looking to sell the 08 Gold Wing. Will not be able to ride for another eight weeks. Have tech questions but will change threads for that. Glad to be on the forum. Hope to hear from some of you. That was too much, but it is what it is.
