Default RE: considering Goldwing

I tried the Goldwing forum as many have recommended. But they where too high and mighty about their ride making all kinds of juvenile responses...kinda like this group.... Alot of comments about oil pissing, overheating, loud, transmission clattering Harley drivers.

At the end of the day I could not give a rats *** what you ride, I ride my RG (10K since April) and unlike many on this sight I did not buy it so I could keep it in my garage polishing it. Love my harley but I would only recommend that someone buy what they like, if it is a GW so be it.

Now how do you feel about the Suzuki line........

You post here asking for recommendations on where to test ride a Honda, on a HD message board, and then take exception to a few snide remarks? Seriously, what did you expect? Any person with at least two or three functioning brain cells would have posted such a question at a Honda board.

At the end of the day, I could not give a rats *** what you ride, but you need ask your Honda questions to the correct audience if you want an honest and helpful response. And one more piece of advice: If you're going to continue to use the internet, get used to the 'juvenile responses'.

Wanted to check this post again. Would have done it earlier, but had to clean up a oil leak out in the garage. Had to wait 3 hours before I could clean the under side of the bike, Too Damn HOT. Would have done it tomorrow, but have a Doctor's appointment to check the "Ringing" in my ears..........hdman

It is posted at a Honda site. I told you what they said. In the end the responses have been worth a chuckle and some helpful feedback. BTW, I don't mind the Juvenile comments, it makes reading these posts worthwhile. I mean how many times can I read "New Biker chick" comments....

I think many of this group take themselves too seriously, probably ponder deep questions such as "should I wave or not".....

It is all academic anyway after reading the posts Honda is buying Harley and we are all going to be riding Water cooled Harley as soon as next year....

I am laughing my **** OFF.

Seriously, Where has the common sense gone in todays society????

Next we will have the beemers, crotch rockets heads, and moped riders asking where can I buy, fix, or test ride my make or model..

THIS IS A HARLEY FORUM!!!!
RIDERS ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR RIDES, EXPERIENCES, PROBLEMS WITH THERE RIDE, OR HOW PROUD THEY ARE ABOUT THERE RIDE.
IT'S ABOUT HARLEYS...AND THOSE THAT RIDE THEM!!!

Why would you come to a Harley Forum, and tell Harley Riders your considering buying a Goldwing???

Take this as you want, BUT YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!

Moron you have to actually read the post. . At the end of the day it is posted and has solicited several responses, not quite as many as "the new biker chick" posts. Consider it bait. You could chose not to bite.
