Those are great bikes.

I liked that the original wing was considered a sport bike, not a bagger.
I love the original 75 Goldwing. You had to buy a Vetter Windjammer fairing and bags to make it a tourer. I used to be on the Goldwing New model group at Honda. That was years ago when it was ramping up from 1200cc to 1500cc.

Give those of us(me) that aren't that knowledgeable a history lesson on that bike.

I would ride again if I had that beauty.

Mid to Late 60s sprint if I had to guess.
It’s in the twilight books. Movie used a dirt bike.
I mentioned it because I know about someone’s DVD collection and I’m sure they have the twilight series.

I should have been riding already (im 32), mom was riding harleys with my dad while pregnant with me. Its kinda engrained in my dna! I love the sound and smell of hog exhaust! Im determined to get on a harley! This is the last bike my dad bought right before he passed and a picture of him on the 75 FLH he and mom bought before i was born(1987) (i grew up on the back) mom still has that bike.

Got a few 'zukis in the basement.

I like performance, not a heavy bike with an intentionally unbalanced engine. Old dude I work with might be selling me an old shovelhead crazy cheap and I'm not against it specifically, but that's not exactly my style. Ridden a few Harleys in my day and they feel weird. I understand the appeal but just not my thing. I wish it was possible to get near a Harley without being a complete ass. There are a couple bike gangs in town (to the point where the local bar has a "no club patches" sign on the door) and those fat Harley riders don't take kindly to sport bikes around here, but A) I'm not a dick and I don't cause trouble for them, B) my 14 year old *** bike has 10x the performance of ANY Harley ever made so I can get away if they do take issue with me, and C) I am rarely unarmed.

The '05 GSX-R750 20th anniversary is my current "rider", the ****** old dirtbike in back is an '86 sp125 dual sport that I don't have time to put back on the trail/road, and the old '93 GSX-R750w you can see covered in dust up front was a stunt bike that I halfway turned into a streetfighter, but would probably stunt it again if I ever decided to get it running again (hasn't touched pavement in 3-4 years).

That round eye i learned to drive in, its a 73 with a 250 I6 no power steering or brakes. Has not been driven since about 2004. But it will still start on a gas jug and move around the yard still to this day. Btw dad paid $100 for that truck in 96'! Its still sittin in the yard near where it was in that picture. (Picture was taken in 05 on the way to my high school graduation) My dads 71 grand prix is now located in moms drive way.
