(...yeah, but can it wheelie??)
After 15 separate events in 20 days covering almost 6000 miles, the first leg of the American Sport Tour is a wrap. These tours, which will come to the four corners of the U.S., are designed to test our machines in different environments and meet with dealers, fans and customers along the way. First leg....mission accomplished.
Special thanks again to The Dexateens for music from their upcoming DVD "Live at The Nick".
@scojoseattle Saw one of the new Wings @ the dealer yesterday with a great big "J" on the vin #. And they STILL want $28K for it. :P

Come, come lad! Stiff upper lip. turn the other cheeck and all that rot! The Honda Goldwing, made in Marysville, Ohio (ah... er was sob, sob-made there), one of the most reliable bikes ever!
Don't let 'em see you flinch son!

Yeah, I guess I've been told the same thing by several people and I need to reassess my opinion. I think HD when I think pushrod. It DOESN'T HAVE to be pushrod tech from the 1890s. I repent!

@RedgardH Point being as fashionable as it is to shit on anything American Workers do, a number of European bikes are by no means the pinacle of reliability.

@uhjeen70 I currently have chain, but looking to go back to shaft for my next bike. Unless I could afford a Motus though. :D

As a Yamaha BT1100 (Buldog) rider and after two previous chain driven bikes, never again chains. A good shaft transmission gives no problems whatsoever. All tales about gyroscopic steer are based on longitudinally rotating masses of the engine and gearbox, nothing to do with the shaft. The only alternative would be a belt, chains are mechanical masochism.
