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

[wildpudding]

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

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.

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

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

(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?

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!!!
