Hello Everyone,
Well after 35 years talking about it and one year of planning, my friend and I finally were able to ride from our home in VA to Texas. What a trip, Texas is a beautiful state and the people are the most friendly in the entire world.On the way we took a detour and rode the "Tail of the Dragon" in NC/TN, and what a ride 318 curves in 11 miles. It is so crooked that my GPS instructed me to "Turn around as soon as possible' thinking I was going in the wrong direction.
Last Tuesday a group of 12 bikes left VA for Asheville NC for a 4 day outing, rained on us every day.
All total I have put almost 5000 miles on my 89 Wing since 05/22/09, for a total of 91000 total miles. The only thing I have had to do is general maintence such as changing timing belts, tires, brakes and changing the oil every 3000 miles etc.
Have a Great day.
Your Friend,

PS What is considered High Mileage for a Gold Wing?
