I wrote & run MotorCycleRiderDataBase.com (www.mcrdb.com)

Funny... 2 separate guys joined that each had 3 running 1975-79
Goldwings. Vintage GL lovers. I emailed them both and asked if they knew
each other. They're roomates. Between them they have 7 1975-78 GL's! My
first was a 1978. I have NO good photos of it (maybe in a box
somewhere). One of the guys sent me a decent photo of my first (78, 83,
96, 02) Wing. Compete with Vetter Windjammer III fairing!

My first one was a '75 GL1000, Candy Apple Red. It was a crusier, now
that I look back on it.Cause it had absolutly nothing on it.
I put on one of those fairly tall Sissy Bars, and a regular, not too
big, clear WindShield.~ Oh yeah, I changed the Handle Bars, that's it.
~We rode all over the south west, and up in Tenn, Kentucky, over to
Florida, and I didnt even have Saddle Bags, (I look back and wonder why
the hell I didnt put bags on the darn thaing?) I've got lots of photos.
In those days we leaned back on our sleeping bags crusing along! And
camped out every dogGone night, and it was so much Fun.

'Ya'll take care'' --BJAY--
