What did you do to your other motorcycle today ?

It’s been four days of ownership and riding the GW. More and more, I’m convinced the wing is the perfect complement to the busa.

Spent last night servicing levers, topping off batt/fluids and comparing size.

It's the only bike I know of that makes a Busa look small.

And, contrary to popular belife, the Goldwing is Not just a touring bike...it is an obese corner carving sport utility motorcycle, lmao...I use mine to take the trash off, get groceries and beer, and I just got back from a 60+ mile trip through the woods to Home Depot, for another 5 gallon bucket of Deck Over(not as fun on the Gsxr1k, lol)
I put 5 gallons down on Saturday, then it rained Sunday afternoon until about an hour ago, with more coming soon, and through early Saturday.
So the light rain seemed like a good time to take a half day of vacation and not have to drive my truck in traffic.
So I came home and got the Goldpig/Oldwing, and away in the light rain we went, lol(rain never stops my riding)

I can't believe I'm thinking about this!

A 2008 Obsidian came up on my radar! Been sitting for 3 years. Bad health sale. 28K miles. Stored inside. Not running. 3 hours away. I messaged him, told him I know all the work that this bike would need. And offered him a couple of grand. He did not disagree with my assessment.
He responded with videos and a list of what it has. And isn't saying no. He is about to get a knee replaced. He wants it gone.

*sigh*

I need this like I need an ex wife!

I'll have to look that up.
Is that a model, or a color?

It's a color for 2008. They call it Titanium Black. I always called the metallic blacks Obsidian. Sorry for the confusion. I got that from my car color days.
