All bikes have there strong and weak points and for some of us--as my wife says--"You just can't be happy with a single bike, can you?" It is a sickness. I have buddies that ride the same bike for a decade and are happy as can be. And then you have guys like us.................

    Check's in the mail, shipping paid...

    Just have to wait for the bike to be brought to California.
    If it wasn't December, I would have flown out and rode back home... but I didn't want my first experience to be a miserable one.

    Making a spot in the showroom for it... probably right in the middle where the old PC800 used to be:

    Can't wait!

    Ordered a full shop manual off eBay, and have a few farkles on my Christmas list now.

    They are supposed to load up my bike in Kansas next Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, and then it's two weeks en-route to California.

    In the mean-time, I picked up this today... complete with Goldwing Hitch and Wiring Harness.
    Spotted it on Craigslist about 90 miles away, and couldn't pass it up!

    I can't wait to "not even know it's back there" (so everyone says).

    Does that trailer thingy? have a name? looks like I could modify it to run a stock M-60 machine gun for tailgaters. Or a mean ass pitbull.

    Actually, it's made by Uni-Go, and it's the Touring Model (they have three). Made in New Zealand and sold by a U.S. Distributor in Florida.

    See interesting video below. (You'll have to get past the poor resolution and obnoxious soundtrack):

    Interesting, albeit poor quality video, here.

    Here is another older demo video. There's not a lot out there on them.
    He has an unusual removable hitch, but it shows the process from start to ride.
    (Sorry, I guess obnoxious soundtracks are an Aussie thing.)

    Now you just need to paint it red to match your new bike!

    Ah... yes... but... I've decided that if I'm not happy with the Red 2013 Paint (there have been reported issues - lack of clearcoat), then the whole bike becomes the WHITE that I originally wanted. At which point I'll revisit the Black trailer issue.
