Goldwing break in schedule
« on: October 04, 2006, 07:07:07 PM »

Does anyone know if there is a needed break-in period for a 2007 Goldwing?
Or is a ride from Austin to Dallas on IH35 during UT /OU weekend with slow traffic good!  Thanks ;D O0

Hey, speaking from this fat bastard's experience, you always have to add "pasty" before the words white butt!!!  ;D

Criminy! You, BigA, RD soon.... are we going to have to have Brock create a CenTex Wing wing on the board? I like the sounds of that! Wing wing.... who's there?!? Okay, I won't quit my day job...   :o :D ;D

I bought a 2006 Black one  w/ nav package about 2 months ago. I just saw a blue 2007 last week. Wish I had waited now. That blue looks good. A friend of mine has one and he lowered his about an inch or so by droppping the triple trees down a little on the forks.

Is there any way to lower the suspension on a Wing?

Jerry :)

Wayne, I found us some motorcycle boots made with 8" risers for riding the Wing and for a mere $399 plus shipping. ;D  Now, how do we shift that sucker? ::)



Jerry :)

Now those are some AWESOME BOOTS!!!! Where can I get a pair?? Oh, and do I have to own a Wing to have them???  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Hey guys, I put 7,000 miles on my brother's wing before he took it out of my garage ::)  and I'm only 5'4".  You'll get the hang of it. O0
