Today I took my 1987 1200 for a ride with CBHon and his beutiful red 1500. I really love my 1200 but next to his it looks decidedly shabby.
Point 1. If my bike was as tidy as his I wouldn't be able to afford it.
Point 2. I would rather own a shabby 1200 than no wing at all.
Point 3. It may be scruffy but is still my pride and joy.
Point 4. I would rather ride an 1100 than no wing at all.
Point 5. I don't understand this either but there are plenty of people that prefer earlier wings to later ones. I keep offering to swap with these people but so far no-one has actually done the deal.
I suspect that you and I may be in a similar situation. don't rubbish your bike. It still gives you hours of enjoyment.

I completely agree with every point you made Andrewl :waving:
This is the first gold wing, or any bike other than a crotch rocket I have owned... I know one thing for sure... I will never ever buy anything other than a bigger and better GW when money permits....

Hey, my 1200 PO let it set under a carport from 1987 till I bought it in 2005 and I put it in a shed, got some rust and the Grey paint looks like it's got streaks in it. Plus the right fairing pocket is stained with brake fluid. But I polished it up the best I could and still get compliments on it. It's not the pretiests wing on the road, but it's got two wheels and a big engine. It's at work everyday it's not pouring down rain with a 70 mile round trip and comes and goes on a 3 shifts I rotate. NICE WING! :15red:
