I’ve seen a few of those on the road. I like BMW’s low center of gravity.

That is a handsome bike! :-)

I'm currently riding a 2006 black-on-black Gold Wing. Black pipes, black everything. No Chrome.

My windshield is a BaggerShield that I keep adjusted down to its lowest setting--it's about 4" worth of windscreen. I've got about $12,000 worth of aftermarket accessories on the bike now.

My first "big" bike was a 1995 Honda Shadow American Classic Edition, or Shadow ACE. Hence my screen name.

They are great bikes, but when they need work.....

I hear you. One of the things I love about my '93 is that it's all mechanical...no computers. It makes wrenching it a lot easier.

But "Parts" can kill you financially.

Just sold my BMW R1200 GS Adventure that I rode across the country—taking every dirt road I could find.

It was really the ride of a lifetime.

But, a destroyed rotator cuff and a deep vein thrombosis has me calling a halt to riding for a while.

I also have an “After-Market” windshield on Blue. It is made by “Memphis Fats”. The botton 4” are tinted the same blue as the bike.

I’m sorry you are going through that, FRiend. Do you mind if I say a prayer for you?

Oh, they are comfortable and smooth! Shaft drive, well balanced and easy to steer. Newer ones even have a ‘reverse’ for getting out of parking spaces. Essentially it’s just a connection to the starter in reverse polarity in 1st gear, I think..........

The Road King is a lovely Bike! I considered one for a while, but didn’t want to replace Ol’ Blue.

It was a very comfy bike too! I could ride 10 hours a day and not feel worn out.

REVERSE? Yikes. I don’t even know how i could handle that. Maybe it wouldn’t be too difficult, but I’ve been backing up Fred-Flintstone-Style for nearly a half-century.

I sold mine to a guy in Cincinnati who wanted to ride to Alaska on it. I hope he did as that bike was built for that ride.
