2008 GL1800On our (Eric & Jo Borchers, GWRRA#292860, of Lakeland, Minnesota) firstlong bike trip on our first Gold Wing,a 2008 GL1800, we stopped by a glaciallake in Yellowstone National Parkfor a short break.We traveled 4,500miles—from Minnesota through theDakotas,Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon andup through Washington. Our returntrip took us through Glacier NationalPark and points east.Truly a joy onour new machine!▲▲1993 GL1500 SEThis is our (Claude & NancyLockhart, GWRRA #260168, of ColoradoSprings, Colorado) pride and joy whichwe rightly named "Wind Dancer". She is a1993 GL1500 SE Barbados Blue (teal)that we bought two years ago with only28,000 miles on it.As of early last year,she had 40,000 on her and was just gettingbroken in.We both would rather rideWind Dancer than go in a car so we canexperience all five senses at the sametime. In fact, we've seen and enjoyedmore of Colorado by cycle than in a car.Wind Dancer pulls a matching 1994Escapade SE (Rich & Donna Noah's former"baby") for long trips and camping.We are Members of CO-I.1982 GL1100This is my (Marty Agamaite, GWRRA#248810, of McFarland,Wisconsin) 52ndbike—and my first Wing! It’s a pristine’82 1100 and, as of last year, had only51,000 miles on it. I keep this classicaround for the long rides but enjoy my’07 Victory Hammer S for around town.Then again, this Wing cost me $1,400seven years ago, while my Hammer was$22,000. I’ve enjoyed Sturgis in 2007 andthe rest of the attractions in the area onmy Wing. It went there and back andnever skipped a beat! However, I almostdid get blown over crossing theprairie…or are they the plains? Anyway,most folks stepped up to an 1800, but Iwill own this Wing till death do us part.So many places to see, so little time….▲February 2009 81
