I'm thinking I should have started a new topic rather than reply to the "Back by popular demand" topic. I am new to the forum and would love to see other's rides in one spot. So, show me your rides.
 
Here's mine.

Nice! Those early 1000's all Vettered up was what got me when I was a teenager. Thought if I could get me a full-dress Goldwing I'd never need another bike again. Bought my first and only 'wing 27 years ago and rode it yesterday.
 
Here is my 84/85 (a bit of both) Interstate... A great rider and a great Tug... I like to Moto-Camp and have a nice cargo trailer that holds all my gear... I just came back from a about 1800 mile jaunt and it was great...

Well, the '78 is my 200 mile radius ride. Love it. I had taller bars on it and liked them, but also like the "look" of the lower bar on this style motorcycle. Problem is, I'm getting old enough that function over form is beginning to be a priority. Trust me, 200-300 miles is about all I'm good for with this riding posture. So, I may be looking for another bar. Sort of a compromise. By the way, I've now installed a nice Markland fork brace and will be actively looking for a front fender soon.

Then it will be done. Seriously.

The '97 Valkyrie is the machine I wish I'd had sooner. Does it all. A solidly capable touring machine without risk of being called many of the negatively, mean-spirited dribble you hear applied to Goldwings. (e.g. sofa on wheels, RV, rolling living room, etc.) If I'd been smarter, I'd have bought one "the way I wanted it" instead of buying the one I wanted and "making it the way I wanted it". Seats, bags, lights, horn, wings, backrest, etc have added up.

But, I don't care.

Hey Russ! I'm not really a trailer guy, but one of my main riding partners sure is. He has a Uni-Go and a Roll-a-Home.

But, I really like that unit of yours. What make is it?

(Sorry to go off the rails here a bit, but I gotta know).

Not at all. But with all that 'wing Tupperware, isn't there room for a naked one ?? :mischief:
 
Im trying the 85 snapped on the trailer was broadsided so it it crack up in several places i would like to save the fairing but the rest will be custom. I already plan to lower it and make custom bags
