Hello everyone! Gary and I are jumping into the Goldwing world for the first time. He has been riding for a long time and I was only a passenger one time in the 80's. Now that Gary is retired, he has the "itch" to ride again... so may as well go Goldwing!

We are waiting for the 2009 release so have been shopping for gear. Joe Rocket seems to be our favorite so far. I was shocked to wear an XL jacket because I am 5"2" and on the small side. Did I size the jacket wrong? Waiting for boots. Helmets are set up with Chatterbox. Gary signed up for motorcycle course in October.

Going to Ocala for a "daytrip" tomorrow... in the car... :(Wish we had that bike!

Another one of your neighbors wishing a big welcome to the forum.

One day we'll all have to get together and overload a bar-b-que joint with the local members.

Keep us informed on how the wait is going and as soon as you get the bike,

post pictures.
