Well here we are in December and not much happening on the riding front. The Goldwing is in the shop again for a antifreeze leak. This time coming from the bottom hose on the radiator. Since this is warranty work, I'm stuck waiting on the Honda dealer. They are trying to get mother Honda to allow all the hoses replaced this time. We can only hope.
On the parts news I purchased another rear wheel. On the Goldwing forum there is a trike company trying to get rid of their rear tire/rims after they have converted a bike to a trike. They were selling the rear tires for $50.00. Someone on the forum stood up and said they would go get them and ship them for an extra $5.00 over cost of wheel and shipping. So I have a rim/tire coming in the next week or so. I also know Santa is sending me a belly pan for my Wing and a set of fog lights to go in the cowling from Wingstuff. I also found out Jack a friend knows quite a bit about the Wing maintenance so I'm going to get him to help me with changing out rear shock and air-filter.
Since the November saddle sore ride I really have only put about 350 miles on my bike but hopefully I'll start getting more time on the bike. I'm hoping Honda will warranty the hoses so I'll stop having this problem. I'm also still planning my summer ride during my sabbatical. Will will start in May and last probably 4 weeks.
Well here we sit the day after Christmas and the Wing is still in the shop. Honda gave the approval for the hose replacement just waiting on them to put my bike back together. Hoping to get it back in acouple of days. Christmas was good to me, Santa gave me a set of running lights, belly pan and a gift certificate to Wingstuff. I'll have to figure out what else I just cannot live without. As I said above hopefully I'll get the Wing back in a couple of days then I'll work on installing my new toys.
Well until next time ride safe
