Get Thee Behind Me Satan

[Paul in NZ]

I just have too many projects on the loose at the moment and next to no spare time BUT my god I'm tempted by this...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/classic-vintage/auction-476219727.htm

Why?

Because this is how I see in a few years time...

So - who has been inside an early GL1000? They can't be that tricky can they?

[Str8 Jacket]

Thank God I am in another part of the office right now. I don't think that I can look at you anymore!

Pfft - Don't be a hater - you can have the seat for your goose if you want....

[skippa1]

looks like a mooring for a dingy to me:pinch:

[Crasherfromwayback]

The 'after' looks good for a GL I must say.

Wow thats cool! I particularly like that adapter to allow the spin on oil filter to be used. that would likely work on a SOHC 750

That Randakk is basically a custom machine with the base honda motor heavily modified. Not much GL left! Very cool tho.

...got one...my wife told me where it was, why we should own it and I went and had a look...that was years ago and my thoughts on Goldwings, cruisers in general, were non existent and probably negative...first ride changed my mind and blew me away...she rides now and has been through a couple of bikes...she said we could sell the GL...over my dead and battered body i replied...one day I will make it my ride, and that pic from Randakks site was the dream..like you though...too many plans not enough time...do it..

Years ago I was offered a decent trade in on my Norton for a near new GL1000 cafe racer that I thought was just hilarious fun - but I squandered my $$ on a ticket to the UK (for which my liver has never forgiven me) and I've always thought - one day.......

Stop encouraging him people, he is walking around the office with a happy look on his face, it's entirely inappropriate!

BUY THE GL MATE....screw the nay sayers and "normals"...DO IT MAN...DO IT!!!:eek:

[george formby]

Many moons ago their was an article in Back Street Heroes (no, I did not buy it) dedicated to street fighter Gold Wings. I was impressed then & no doubt would be impressed now. Some very sick but talented peeps out their.

[bogan]

Damn, that goldwing actually has a bit of potential! (didn't think I'd ever say that)

Would be a lot of work to get it good, but you'd certainly have something remarkable afterwards :yes:





Do it!

[rastuscat]

It's not unusual, so sayeth Tom Jones.

Their dead simple to work on.
A friend of mine had one and rebuilt it in his shed while I drank his beer,a lot of the parts are the same as the same year Honda Civic,,cam chain,valves an guides,,that sort of stuff.
They haul a side car well.

Judging by the pics of his front yard so does he! :laugh:
