I rode a Wing....OMG
« on: October 21, 2006, 06:22:23 PM »
I rode a wing today for the first time today.   I had no idea how much I would enjoy the bike.  Certainly very different than my X and a great ride.  OK Jerry and RD, now I get it.  I think it's time to make a change.

Can we add a new category to the boards?  Call it, "Ex X Riders."

How old are you?
It is my understanding that if you own a wing, you are at least 70.   ;D

We got the place in Ruidoso, and have spent 4 of the last 6 weeks in NM trying to get it ready. I want to get every thing done before the snow gets bad there. Looking for some $$$ during ski season. O0

I'm only 29... and yes I do see a goldwing in a very near future for me...  if you can make the switch go for it, you will love it.   as for all the comments about been 60 or 70 years old to be able to own a goldwing, that's not true, you just got to be able to afford it.  it just so happends that the old folks are the ones that have all the money.
