    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.

Headed to Las Vegas this week for a little R&R. I rented a GoldWing 1800 for a day (it's no GS, but it'll have to do...), and am looking for a good 4-6 hour ride for my GF and me.

Any recommendations?
 
Ended up riding Kyle Canyon/Mt Charleston - would highly recommend.

Also took the mandatory trip down to the Hoover Dam.

My remorse over cheating on my GS with a Goldwing is waning. Slowly.
 
Apparently I missed this thread twice.

Glad you had a good time. How did you like the 'wing? Pics?
 
He is renting it for a day. He can do whatever he wants, for 100 miles. He is 28, and livin' the dream.

The Wing was a beast. 2-up, full of gas and gear, I figure she weighed around 1,450 lbs. That said, she was a dream to ride. Bells & whistles everywhere. Really nice on the freeway, and at altitude, where older bikes can yearn for fuel injection.

The la-z-boy rear seat is so far back though, that 2-up in slow maneuvers is a little squirrelly. All in all, well worth the $140 I paid.

Rode on a high wind advisory day, and I will say I missed my GS a ton in the nasty crosswinds. The Wing has no holes! The thing's a sail. So in swirling 40-50mph desert winds, it kind of behaves like a panel van. But...., a panel van with 1800 cc's and a really, really good stereo. ;)

Pics soon.

BTW - trying to post these right to the thread, large format. Anyone know how to do that?
