Yesterday I had to work, yes it was terrible.
So, as I am going home, I stop by the store my wife manages, a Publix supermarket store here in town. Its my duty to stop by and say Hi as usual. The parking lot drivers can be a challenge as you all know. So here I go through the parking lot, hey [quick snap to the right] dodge that old lady, ho [brakes and left turn] watch that girl on the cell phone, yikes [brakes and slow race] look out kids running, into a parking spot and circle around to set the bike the way I like. Wheewww parked ! Love it, super control machine.
A couple spots over a fellow in a white work truck says "man what is that, I thought you were riding a big scooter with the way you control that thing"?no scooter, its a Goldwing actually. The guy goes
"how big is the motor"? I said its like 1800cc plus a little. He says "oh my
garshk" !
We talk a little about the bike, I explain how the motor is a flat 6 sitting on the bottom and balanced perfect. He says "you know man, that thing is so quiet and so maneuverable that I ready did think you were on a large scooter of some sort".I said, feel free to look it over sir, I have to go in the store. I said, I love this bike more than any street bike I ever owned, I says its basically my GS1000 from my younger years built into a bagger WITH music.
I ended up calling the bike, "Hondas town and city sporty version Goldwing". Walked away watching the guy drool heavily over the bike.
