Took bike to Velocity for safety inspection, I do this every year in early season just in case some squirrels moved into my exhaust system or the oil is full of water.
Seems the bike is ready to roll across the country with the exception of having a turn signal bulb replaced.
Getting ready to mount up and ride home, before 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow, a rider approached me to chat some about how big my bike (GL1800 Honda Goldwing) is. I told him it is light as a feather when moving but if you are stopped and you loose your balance do not try to stop the bike from falling over. You can not stop it. Just let it fall and you will have to learn the proper way to lift a GL1800 upright (weights a little less than 900 lbs. wet). He does some 12,000 miles per year and has a bad back. I told him he is looking at the right bike for him.
We parted company and I rode home knowing I have inspired another person to seriously think about a Honda Goldwing.
My work was done.
