    Around 3 hours on the bike a day

    i average 175 miles per day monday thru friday and another 100 over the weekend. It's fun riding. Just got to get over the whole "rain" stigma. People always freak out when they see a bike in the rain. But as long as you ride safe, the rain is a non-issue. Just buy good gear.

    I am sure it was checked more then once but only needed that one shim one time.Not really out of the relm as many high mileage 1800 owners have claimed they have checked the valves many times over 200-300K and they have been within specs.My buddy has a 2003 with 230,000 miles and he checked the valves three times in the first 100K and all good so he is just running her until he sees a performance drop which has not happened.He changes the oil and filter every 5K with Amsoil 10/40 full synthetic which is overkill but he likes the 5K intervals.One altenator and rear end/drive shaft replacement and lots of tires,brake pads and other fluid changes like brake,clutch,coolant every two years or so.Hard to break one of these engines.

    The man is the uncontested winner of the "what kind of oil" thread.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    I never got more than 7500 out of a rear tire, the ONLY way to get 30K is to go to the darkside.
