    Sport Goldwing

    So Jovi and I were invited to the GWRRA meeting about a week ago. After driving in circles we found the place in the corner of a strip mall. We were welcomed and everyone was friendly. However, after looking around I starting noticing mostly everyone was wear WWII hats and it looked like Jovi and I were the only ones there that still worked. Well after dinner one of the guys starting asking me about the F6B, he called it the "Sport Model". So there you have it the full Wingers call us the Sport Model Goldwingers. So be it, don't think Jovi and I are ready for this group yet!

    Its a Goldwing LT

    I have been telling everyone, as they are looking at it in dismay, that's its a Goldwing, Less the Trunk. So there you have it, a Goldwing LT

    Likewise with my local GWRRA. I was by far the youngest one attending. They talked for 20 minutes about proper lane changes. Really took all the fun out of riding IMHO. GWRRA is a great group just not for me.

    I like that "Cycle World" (at least I think it was "Cycle World") created a whole new class of bikes for the F6B - "heavy cruiser."
    Navy abbreviation for cruiser is "CG."
    And since air traffic control always adds "heavy" to the callsigns for aircraft that are 747 & up, I have been using "CG Heavy" as an answer as well.
    Fun to play with peoples' minds....

    I like that TK. I may have to get a couple little chrome GTs off a 'Stang' and see how they look on 'Shay Shay'.

    I can live with being called a Sport Model; better than being called a big scooter
