It's been awhile since my GL1500 rolled away and was replaced by a Stratoliner in the hope that I could still keep my ailing knees in the breeze.
My VA orthopedic surgeon told me to get rid of it.:sobbing:
I did. Went into immediate depression and 3 months later bought another VT1100 Shadow. Now, a year later, the height of the Shadow resulted in more problems with my ability to make the gazelle-like leap into the saddle:sadguy:
So I wandered the desert again and came up with this last week:

2010 Honda VT1300CS (Sabre) equipped pretty much like the Stateline model.
It's lower than the Shadow and I can find the seat without needing a stepladder
Peppy and functional and I can do a little touring with it.
So I don't have a Wing, but this forum has always been the most civilized (no endless fighting over loud pipes, oil, tires, guns, politics) so this is where we returned.
