funny goldwing

some guy on a Goldwing had 3 miles of traffic stopped behind him
yesterday, he was sat there revving the nuts off his engine but the
back wheel seemed to be jammed up.. what gives? I thought about lending
a hand but probably a case of waiting for a crane anyway?

 

is it still half term?

 

There wasn't a smell of burning clutch plates, was there?

 

It's a HONDA.
Nuff said.......

 

Oh I'm doubled up with laughter and impressed with your witty reparte

 

Apparently, the GL1800 has had more recalls than any other motorcycle EVER.
So much for Honda quality!

 

You must be too young to recall some 1970-80 model Honda and Suzuki
models then

 

Which part of "has had more recalls than any other motorcycle" do you not
understand?

 

Ok Ok I conceed

 

And this statistic is published where exactly?

 

It's Ken with a gender re-assignment.

 

Too young to remember the Honda chocolate camshaft years, at least.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, SteveH belched forth and ejected the following:

Eh? You're younger than me and I don't remember them either.

 

Yawn, fucking yawn..........................

TMack, is there anything else you are unable to do yourself?

 

"The language in the owner's manuals is not in accordance with the
current mandatory requirements".

Fsck me, that sounds right dodgy. Do you think it will affect the handling?

 

Err, no, but "can cause frame welds to crack" might.

 

Serious defect for 2006:

The rest of them are checks on frame welds and bank angle sensors. Big
deal.

And they don't even mention the problems with wobble.
Any other bike had more than 15 (official) recalls?

Big deal? Who really does give a **** when a £17,000 Honda has so many
problems.

 

Do you actually know the difference between a recall and a TSB?

 

Yes.

Service Bulletin, Recall, may be different to a manufacturer but they are
the same thing to a customer.
