Goldwings, the BBW of Honda motorcycles. Honda should hire me.

Those are really nice bikes. I went riding with a few people this past weekend, and this couple had one. I've only looked at the Goldwings in passing and never really checked them out. WOW...intercom system for passenger talk, cb radio, i'm sure you can hook your phone to it, radio, cruise control...VERY nice bikes.

The Goldwing is easily the nicest car Honda has ever built.

I've thought about getting a ST1300 a few times. I think it would be awesome to ride cross-country.

I've heard they handle quite nicely despite of their massive size. There's this guy called "Yellow Wolf", he used to post in other forum I'm in, and he is quite the rider with his yellow Goldwing over the Deals Gap. He's broken some records about riding the Gap so many times in 24 hours and such.

yeah my dad showed me that video a while ago, both of those guys are on Goldwings, all you hear the whole video is the pegs scraping on the ground. The video doesn't go long enough but the one I've seen they actually pass a few guys on crotch rockets.
