Yeah, he's a seller but coming from a younger generation he seems genuinely impressed with the B's. Confirming ride-ability features we all know already.

after watching him it is obvious I need much more practice in a parking lot.

I was thinking the same thing when I ran across those videos, Rick. Man I need some practice this spring.

Going from scraping the peg to knee drag is a body shift - which Gold Wing Riders aren't generally prone to doing.
When he was dragging his hand, the speed of the bike picked up gradually.
All in all, great control by the throttle hand and great balance in that body shift.

I like to think that the younger generation sees that the 1st generation B is a diamond in the rough or viewed at as retro-ish. Wouldn't be surprised at all if demand (popularity) increases for the GL1800's when looked at value for dollar.

I should add that there's a 2014 Valkyrie spotted in my neck of the woods driven by a 20 something. Looks like the full on Corbin saddlebag kit too. Pretty nice looking actually, and I haven't always been generous on my earlier opinions.
