    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Now THAT is nice!! If Wings were made like that, I would have been riding one a LONG time ago.
 
I don't know, Earl. The ergonomics of that particular setup don't look so appealing, but I applaud the imagination it took to create it
 
I'd imagine that turbo right below your forearm would make things a little warm. I am intrigued now though, what kind of performance can a boosted GL1500 engine make?
 
I hear that the sixes are nice. I owned the last year 1000, a '79 I think, and it was a pig. Compared to a 1000G or 1100 G, it was slow, uncomfortable, and ill handling with no ground clearance. Bodywork or paint wouldn't make the difference.

One of my Coworkers has a 1500 Valkyrie. He loves it, and it hauls him and his wife in comfort with plenty of power.

I sure wouldn't turn down a chance to ride it though. The seating appears to be somewhat like my B12. Can't say for sure though from one pic.
