I'm guessing the riders who feel the need to ridicule other riders for not riding what they ride, just didn't play well with other children as kids.

It could be that I am a little more open minded about motorcyles in the real world then some self styled know it all POSER like you????? I have driven all kinds of motorcycles, I do not own a Goldwing, I do not like the seating.
You could start a thread called " I hate everything except what I think and I am just too narrowed minded to see anthing beyond my nose"
You must be a big hit down at Starbucks with all your little poser buddies talking about how tough you and they are because you know all the facts, most of which you get wrong, read some of your own posts here.

I have ridden with all kinds of bikes. Never really cared what a guy rides. I wave at all bikers and even scooters. As for ugly, the new Triumph takes the door prize. But it sure runs ...
As for the Goldwings, they are build for comfort and the long haul. As for performance, a good rider on a wing is hard to keep up with on the twistes. Each to his own ..

Met a guy up in Wy a few weeks back. Real nice crusty looking dude, he was on a older Goldwing with a HD T-Shirt on. He was from FL and said he rode 33k so for this year and after talking to him for a few minutes I totally believe him. ***** he was not!

Gee John, guess you got real riled up.
I think you are the one missing the point. While doing a Patriot Guard mission yesterday, a GoldWing rider stood there insulting Harley Davidsons as inferior motorcycles, I just said no sense starting that lame conversation again. I rode Honda's (no wings) before finally getting my Road King. And as far as the previous posts are concerned you are the one who needs to lighten up, this is the B/S forum where a lot is said for a laugh. We laugh at that guy who won't ride in the rain all the time and we call him names .. so what.

When the MoCo pissed me off last year I traded my 2000 FLHT for an 07 Goldwing. Yes they have lots of power and no need to shift gears cause they have lots of torque. I don't know how anyone can tour on a Wing unless you tow a trailer, which lots of them do. There is no room in the bags or trunk. The reason they have those little dangly things for the helmuts is because you can not fit 2 helmuts in the tour pak. The rack on top is worthless because it is common knowledge that anything over 5 lbs will crack the tour pak lid. I felt like Pee Wee Herman riding the thing. You sit like you are sitting at the dinner table. They are not built for big guys. Now if you like ice cream then you are in business. That is where the GW groups all ride to, Dairy Queen. Oh and if you don't wear all the armour plating and pants and coats etc you are looked down on. So finaly got back to my Electra Glide and the planets are in alignment once again.
