Many of us long-time Gold Wing riders have gone through the same thing, soupbean, but more directed towards the long-distance touring motorcycles. I know I have many times.
Test ride, after test ride, I'd get back on my Wing and after a few miles down the road, it was; "what was I thinking...there ain't no way I'm giving up this Wing!!"
When the new Indians first came out, they lit a fire under my saddle big time for a while, but I still wasn't willing to give up the liquid-cooled, flat six engine.
However, one ride on an F6 though, I knew I had to have one. Haven't looked at "another lady" since....
