I'm new here on the forum. I live in Slatington, Pa. I relatively new to goldwings but not to motorcycles. My first bike was a Yamaha 250RD, had it for couple of years, then bought a brand new 81 Yamaha 650 Maxim that I had for 16 years. There was a 17 year gap with no motorcycle, then last summer I bought an 82 Goldwing, GL1100, it only had 21000 miles on it. I plan on doing my own work on it and so far I rebuilt the front forks. This coming riding season I'm going to replace the timing belts and change the seals in the rear shocks.
With the past bikes, I always took the bike to the dealer for any repairs but with goldwing, I plan on doing all the work myself so I will be relying on goldwing forums for any info needed for repairs.

Welcome aboard, I too started on the RD`s, R5 and other earlier model Yamahas..A breeze they were to work on and pretty darn fast for what they were.
I was new to Goldwings a couple few years ago, not what I was expecting in some regards, parts are sometimes difficult to find, finicky, tight everywhere, not always friendly to parts swapping..Get it right and it will serve you well.
Mine has 12K now and I have put about 3K on it since I pulled it from a garage where it slept for 23 years.

Welcome from Southern California! There is plenty of good info here, as well as plenty of folks who know and love the old Wings. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome to Classic's neighbor! If it can't be explained on a forum, there are a few of us close enough that are a day trip away to lend a hand.

Welcome from Buffalo. You'll find these bikes are fun to ride and not so hard to fix and maintain.
