    I had a passenger doze off on the back of my Vespa 200.
    Mind you, the excess of beer had something to do with it.

      Certainly is a beauty. Was 2008 before the advent of reverse gear?

      GLWTS. Does this mean you're in a 12-step program? The only wing I've ever ridden was a brand new one in '75. A hooligan stunt bike compared to the newer ones. I'm guessing more than 200 lbs difference.

      Any options that bike doesn't have?
      Cowboys daughter Charmaine dozed off on the back of my Orange Goldwing several years ago - It's more common than you would think.

      Reverse came in on the 1988 version of the 1500 - has been a Goldwing standard ever since (although I have rarely used mine)

      There are a few options the bike doesn't have - Navigation is one

              My first wife would fall asleep on the back of my 850 from time to time...usually on the way home from some too serious partying. I had a tour box on the back to prevent her sliding to the rear and used bungies to keep her upright.

              Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.
