15 reasons for a Goldwing to be stopped on the side of the road

[Blatman]

1. The cappuccino machine needs cleaning.
2. His co-rider fell asleep and he hated to wake her.
3. He needed to put 10 new CDs in to the CD changer.
4. The refrigerator mounted on the trailer can't keep the ice cream frozen on hot days so he stopped to eat it.
5. He had a fax coming in on the first line, so he thought he'd better disconnect the modem from the second line in case someone was trying to reach him on the helmet phone.
6. The last big bump made the lazy boy seat come to a full upright position, so he had to stop and adjust it.
7. His tax accountant has scheduled a conference call with his portfolio manager, and he wanted to take a few notes.
8. He just crossed a time zone and he needed to reset the VCR to record the right program for him to watch tonight.
9. His A/C vents were pointed too far into the wind stream to keep him cool.
10. He has a 200-mile gas tank range but a 175-mile bladder range.
11. He stopped to take the chocolate chip cookies out of the oven, but now the ice cream is all gone, so what can he eat with them?
12. He was confirming tonight's reservation at the Hilton 800 miles ahead.
13. He wanted to colour in another country on his travel map.
14. He had a bug splattered on his chrome and he needed to polish it before it dried on.
15. He stopped to help the Harley that was stopped along the road

Shit, musta been an old one to have a "VCR".
Nowdays I'd expect them to have blue ray recordable DVD with sixty zillion gigga thingies of hard drive!!!!:doh:

[Headbanger]

Stopped to redistribute the load as she was leaning to the left
Trying to avoid the Bus which was trying to mate with it
Giving birth to a regular sized motorcycle
Having an identity crisis, It thought it was a car until it realised it only had two wheels

Beached as Bro

[FROSTY]

Stopped to wait for the sprotbike owners that were travelling with him that had either A had to stop 3 times for fuel or B had to stop to relieve the cramp in bum and wrists.

[Big Dave]

He was trying to find a part of the country that he hadn't visited yet.

[tri boy]

His order of 23 "Big Mac's, and a large diet coke" had started to oooze over his Born to be wild T-shirts in luggage dept 18.

[Headbanger]

The inflight movie was about to start and he couldn't figure out how to get his chair to recline.....

[Brownie]

The home theatre was stuck in mono and not stereo , so had to stop to fix it

[dipshit]

The Goldwing club was out on a ride. They have to stop and cross bridges one at a time so not to exceed the bridge's maximum load.

[Fatjim]

Stopped to wait for his BMW mates who refuse to fuckin lane split.

[Laava]

Had to stop to clean bubble gum off the clocks

Perhaps he was enjoying the view.

[MIXONE]

It wasn't a leadwing at all.
It was a logging truck with a flat tyre!

... put 10 new CDs in to the CD changer ... fax coming ... reset the VCR

Yeah these are SERIOUSLY low tech machines!

And time to update the joke for the white heat of the new technology. I've hear they have this interweb thing now - anyone tried it?

Interesting, must only have men riding them. Or only men stop at the side of the road that ride them.

You left out emptying the chemical toilet.

When we travel from Auckland to Wellington (or vice versa) we have two stops for food/drinks. One at Taupo, the other at Bulls.

Picton - Christchurch or Christchurch - Dunedin, no stops. Goldwings don't stop otherwise, apart from fuel.:rockon:

Christchurch - Auckland is achievable in one day. Put the cruise control on and go.:cool:

No sore hands/backs/arse and music all the way. It's a great way to travel.:2thumbsup

(16) The microwave had just finished his popcorn.
(17) He was trying to figure out where to put the key (was it between the ac vents and the cb radio, or the ice maker and the wide screen television)
(18) His fax roll had run out and he was changing it.
(19) He couldn't remember which CD in the changer was whitesnake so he stopped to check.
(20) He was arguing whether he needed a bike or bus license to ride it.
(21) His massaging lumbar pillow was on the wrong setting.
(22) He was trying to figure out what the third blue warning light from the left meant.
(23) He was testing his super antidive, geometric telemetry ABS system.

But seriously I love all hondas and could quite imagine me spending my retirement touring on a goldwhale, I mean those things must be awesome judging by the spec list.

But heres my question to all you goldwing riders, what do you do if you drop it?

[SILVER SUZI]

Well obviously you just pop the 200 ton crane out of compartment 13c and right it again.

Or just run away and pretend it's noy yours!!!:rofl:
