Goodbye Triumph, Hello Honda!
Yep, Thursday I take ownership of a brand-spankin-new-not-out-of-the-crate-yet 2005 Gold Wing!!

Thursday past was our 26th Anniversary and since we got the Sprint on the Bride's birthday a year & a half ago, I figured it was only fitting that we trade it on an anniversary gift for us.

We both preferred the blue one, but since none are available, we settled on the candy black cherry one.

Now I can do some serious miles on vacations after this knee gets fixed up (or maybe brfore with a little help from a set of Kuryakyn highway pegs).

Come on Thursday!!!!

Bank has lots of money pal. Remember, you can't take it with you and there's a fine line between living for today and being comfortable for retirement.

Congrats, Newfie . I've never ridden one, not even pillion, but I always look at them, half in admiration, half in disbelief. I hope you three enjoy many happy touring miles together.

Not really Rocker, just saying he has to sweet talk a PFSR.

Hopefully next summer. We're going to Vancouver Island. We'll go the Canadian way one direction and State-side the other.

Has anyone ever seen a 'Wing with a serious stereo? It's got at least as much room as some of those econo-boxes you hear thumping...
