You ever see that whisp of white smoke coming out of the back of a jet? That's what the black ones look like coming out of the corner. Congrats

And for all you guys out there shaking your heads now, Yes, I know it's not a crotch rocket, but I sure am going to have fun surprising the hell out of some Rossi posers on as they see that big ol red rocket leaving them in the twisties.

Please tell me you have a GoPro or VIRB camera and will capture the 6 spanking some faster bikes Yeah?

The only time mine act up is during light to medium application of the rear brakes; maybe I just need to be more firm about it, like you said, adjust the riding a bit.

Been to the Dragon quite a few times on different bikes. I cannot wait to get the B in the twisties. However, even the GL1800--extra weight, trunk and all-- has no problem hangin with the sportbikes. I read somewhere that YW's best time was about 11 minutes on the dragon, which avgs about 60MPH. I also understand a lot of that is the rider. BTW--I also read he had a tumble there and is not as frequent a visitor since then. Ride safe.

I have also seen and heard a lot about Yellow Wolf and his Wing rides on the Dragon...Excellent rider, but I understand that he took a pretty bad tumble a while back and has not been out much since then???....I think he was very lucky that he did not go down a long time ago, not wishing bad, but a Goldwing in not a "sport bike" in any regard even though it handles its weight very, very well....JMHO

forgot this:

My SP (significant passenger) asked if I could tell that she was not paying attention to the road, just enjoying the ride. The reason she asked is that when we are out scratching on the VFR she has to be actively involved in the ride, as we do ride pretty quickly. I really couldn't tell she was back there at all, which was cool.

When we got home she said that she wanted a sticker for the 6, "Pass the chips please." I ask why and she says "because it just feels like I'm riding an 80 mile and hour couch"

LOL!!! My wife used to doze off on the back of my Ultra Classic. I never could understand why her helmet was alway hitting me in the back of the neck until she finally confessed one day. I joking told her that I traded it to keep her awake and both of us alive.

Last summer a buddy (on his Versys) and me on my Victory were tearing up some twisties in West Va pushing it just about as far as I was comfortable, when this bike pulls up behind rather quickly and then zooms around us never to be see again---yea, he was on a Wing...........with a cute girl on the back.

Yeah the black ones are the whisp of smoke and the red ones are the jets. Yeah that's right, you just got smoked.
