might all pay when the dust settles.
Whenever a high-profile personality—a
Gary Busey, an Arnold Schwarzenegger, or a
Ben Roethlisberger—cracks up, there’s a
resulting loss of public understanding and tolerance about motorcycles and motorcycling.
Questions arise as to whether certain kinds
of motorcycles or certain kinds of motorcyclists should coexist on our nation’s streets
and highways with other vehicles. Some folks
have been startled or frightened by motorcyclists; others just resent the way nimble, narrow two-wheelers outshine their bulky, gridlock-snagged cars. Alas, many non-motorcyclists would be relieved to have us road riders
just disappear, leaving the asphalt to them.And
whenever bike-haters fume behind their
steering wheels, they tend to put their proclamations in terms of “there oughta be a law.”
“There oughta be a law to (a.) force people to wear motorcycle helmets, or (b.) prevent people from owning any motorcycle
more powerful than __cc’s, or (c.) keep
motorcycles out of my neighborhood, or (d.)
oblige motorcyclists to pay their own medical
costs, even if they weren’t at fault in an accident, or—the ultimate—(e.) prohibit motorcycle riding on any public highway.”
Impossible? Think again. Some of these
types of laws have been proposed already
and—in some cases and in some locations—
enacted right here in the USA.
If a professional sports organization
requires its players to forego indulgence in
risky activities while under contract in order
to protect their financial investment, that may
be their right. But if society as a whole adopts
this line of reasoning towards us, what happens to the right to ride we currently hold?
Suppose, either by extraordinary cooperative effort of all of the states or by federal
mandate, helmet-use requirements were
imposed everywhere. Would this end motorcycle injuries? Of course not! And while collisions and injuries to motorcyclists would continue to occur despite universal helmet laws,
even more stringent measures might now be
considered “for the public’s own good.” Is it
not obvious that the simplest way for our
government to end motorcycle accidents on
American highways forever would be to ban
motorcycles from our streets and highways?
For 50 years or more, some of the best
minds in America have wrestled with the
question of how best to reduce motorcycle6
involved injury accidents.The issue is far more
complex than many people think. And it’s not
just about helmet legislation.
Ninety-nine-point-nine times out of a hundred when riding, motorcyclists don’t need a
helmet to protect their face and brain. It’s that
remaining tenth of a percent that’s a killer.
(And I understand that if you could get odds
like that at Vegas, many people wouldn’t hesitate to bet their life.) But because of my own
personal experience (as well as a moderate
dose of common sense), I always wear a
motorcycle helmet when I ride. As a result,
passage of a universal helmet law wouldn’t
change my behavior one iota. Nevertheless,
I would much sooner not have a legislative
body tell me I must wear a motorcycle

helmet.
How could the Roethlisberger incident
have ended more happily? Obviously, if no collision had occurred, there never would have
been an incident. Undoubtedly, the hapless
driver of the Chrysler New Yorker swears she
never saw the approaching motorcycle or, if
she did, she misjudged the bike’s closing
speed. Undoubtedly, if the football hero had
anticipated the Chrysler was about to turn
left and had trained his responses, he would
have reduced throttle, applied brakes or
changed direction to avoid a collision. And,
undoubtedly, if he’d known beforehand that
on this particular Monday morning he was
destined to become a human projectile,
Roethlisberger would have been wearing the
best full-coverage helmet money could buy.
So not only Roethlisberger, but all of us
motorcyclists, lost a little something when the
story broke. What we got were 20-point
headlines in our morning papers, “breaking
news” crawlers across the bottoms of our television screens, shocking photos of a waddedup bike, and no happy ending.
Happy endings rarely make headlines. And
mild dust-ups don’t create controversy. What
controversy and headlines do is attract
unwelcome attention from legislators in
search of a juicy new law to propose.As your
state legislature reconvenes this fall, you might
want to keep an eye on your representatives.
Even if they aren’t football fans, they just may
have Ben Roethlisberger on their minds.

AN
EXECUTIVE
VIEWPOINT
“To be, or not to be:
That is the question.”
rom time to time, situations and conditions arise that generate within us this
oft-quoted Shakespearean line. We find
ourselves confronted by a sequence of events
or situations that, within our minds, is intolerable, and we want to lash out at others.
Our perception of these “intolerable”
events and situations leads us to become frustrated, and that frustration leads to anger.
Now we have a decision to make—a decision
“to be or not to be” the person that we really are or, rather, to become
like the persons we most despise when they confront us with their own
frustration and anger. We have to consciously make a choice not to
become an angry and confrontational jerk.
We have all seen this type of behavior in others and, regrettably, we
have all exhibited the behavior ourselves at times. When we regress
into the raw emotion of childhood, we stop really thinking and caring
about others because all that concerns us is what we want at any cost.
We begin to lash out at the offending situations or persons we perceive
to be at fault.We may even want to punish someone for our anger. It’s
like being welcomed back to our own “Terrible Twos”—pure emotion
with little reasoning. We allow ourselves to become rude, abrasive,
offensive, aggressive and demanding. We do not care who or what
brought us to this anger, we simply allow ourselves to have only tunnel
vision.We stop being reasonable, and, most importantly, we stop being
the people that we most cherish, the real us.
I broach this subject because, unfortunately, I witnessed demonstrations of it at our family reunion,Wing Ding. I have also heard, on occasion, conversations between our Member Services personnel and irate
callers. Regrettably, many of these folks are our Friends and fellow
Members.
At Wing Ding, many of our Friends and fellow Members stepped
forward as volunteers to try to help out.They made the effort to volunteer so that other Members could have an enjoyable experience.
Unfortunately, at times, these volunteers became victims of other
Members’ displeasure. Perhaps their abusers forgot that these volunteers are Members themselves, just like you and me.
Within Member Services, I have seen the same type of cycle. A
F
September 2006
Member has an expectation that goes unrealized. He or she calls our Member Services
phone number. His or her frustration becomes
anger and the caller becomes someone he or
she normally is not.They choose to abuse the
Member Services staffer on the line who is
actually only trying to help.Then, the Member
Services person is also put in a “to be, or not
to be” situation by becoming frustrated with
the caller’s anger. If we’re not careful, the cycle
can just continually perpetuate.
I suggest an alternative approach. Before
allowing yourself “not to be” the person that
you really are when you are faced with these
situations, try allowing yourself “to be” the
person you really are. Pause to realize that the Member volunteer and
the Member Services staff are trying to help you and that they are performing to the best of their abilities within the framework of their
responsibility.
If you feel your message or concern has not been communicated
well with a Member volunteer, ask your Chapter, District or Regional
Director to help. If you feel you are not communicating your message
or concern with the operators in Member Services, ask to speak to a
supervisor. If, however, you feel it is still necessary to be that “other person”—to yell, curse, use profane language or be rude and abrasive—
please call me instead. I will be happy to assist you in any way I can.
We must remember, we are all human beings and, as such, are subject to the “slings and arrows of outrageous” misfortune. We all find
some things disturbing and even upsetting to us as we share this small
planet with our Friends and fellow Members. As frustrating situations
and events arise, please remember that those Friends and Member
Service personnel are trying to help, not hinder. Most of the time they
do an excellent job for us all. But sometimes they just need a little extra
help from the Directors and all of us. Please grant them the respect and
courtesy they deserve, just like you and I feel we deserve.
We always have the choice whether “to be, or not to be” that angry,
discourteous “other” person. When that choice arises, remember to
mentally step back, take a breath, and choose to be who you really
are—a GWRRA Member who is grateful for the many other folks who
work hard to make this Association a Family.

Sharon
Stanley, Assistant
Editor
What’s Ours is Yours
Submitting a story or photo to a magazine is like
being asked to speak before a large audience—it’s
an intimidating prospect!
Will the magazine editor laugh at my grammar?
Will he or she think my story is not noteworthy?
These are common questions everyone may ask
him- or herself. (I know I have asked them myself,
even after getting my journalism degrees!) But we
have been extremely encouraged by the increase in
requests we’ve received recently for “Writers and
Photography Guidelines.” And we’re hoping you, too,
will make the effort to share your stories and photos
with the rest of the Association.
After all, GWRRA is, in large part, about Friends
and Fun.
This is your magazine. Why not enjoy seeing
yourself in it!
Writers and Photography Guidelines
We welcome unsolicited stories and photos
from our Members, though there is no monetary
compensation for works published. (For where
and how to send them, see information below.)
Any legible story (preferably sent via e-mail
as a cut-and-paste or as an attachment) is considered. Articles e-mailed or submitted on CD
are preferred to typed or handwritten articles
on paper for the sake of time and clarity (otherwise, we’d have to interpret your handwriting
and manually re-type the story into the computer). Also, e-mail or CD makes it much easier for
us both to file the story and keep track of it.
Feature-length stories should be between
2,000 and 5,000 words in length (or less) and can
be of any genre. Technical pieces are welcomed
but should include the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and experiential background of
experts quoted, along with a bibliography of
other sources (i.e., books, Web sites, scientific
research studies, etc.) We need, of course, to
check responsibly the facts pertaining to any
technical information submitted to us.
Most stories we receive from Members are
travelogues, and they are welcomed. However, in
order to increase the chance your travel story
will be published, you may want to consider writing about what made your trip special (besides, of
course, that it was yours!).
Perhaps there was a general theme behind
your trip (i.e., visiting old stomping grounds) or
quite a few mishaps on an otherwise ordinary
trip (i.e., your trailer came undone, the hotel
accidentally cancelled your reservations, a bear
blocked the roadway, etc.).
Another way to make your story unique is to
include a deeper theme (i.e., one published
writer recently questioned—as she and her hus10
band rode cross-county—why some states are
considered red and some blue, just as some of
her siblings are considered simply Republican or
Democrat). Or maybe there was a very specific
reason why you made a trip (i.e., to pay homage
to a loved one’s grave or to visit Alaska because
you always promised yourself you would do so).
Digging for the purpose behind a trip not
only makes writing about it more enjoyable, it
also brings the reader closer to you. What may
seem like insignificant details (i.e., “We went for
our last bathroom run of the night and got lost
on our way back through the campgrounds” or
“The little Bolivian boy smiled at me, as he somewhat hesitantly held out his hand”) make the
story familiar and interesting to those reading it
because we’ve all encountered these types of
experiences. Thus, readers can better identify
with you by identifying with a similar experience
in their own lives and, hopefully, enjoy your story
even more. Please keep that in mind, especially
when you’re writing a travel story.
And though it’s always a plus to list at least
some of the routes you chose along your trip, a
simple travelogue can read tediously. To counter
that, include as much detail as you can about each
place that stands out in your mind (i.e.,“the clapboard houses next to the rocky beaches”)
because details are interesting and necessary in a
travel story. Try not, however, to be overly dramatic in your descriptions (i.e., “the quaint clapboard homesteads resting beside the strong,
rock-laden beaches, like those of Normandy”).
And pictures. We love pictures! So try to
keep them within the parameters listed below so
that they’ll likely be usable. At least four or five
photos are preferred. Please include detailed captions within the same document as your story
that will direct us to exactly which caption
applies to which photo. Please do not write
directly on the back of photo prints; instead, tape
the captions to them.
Photos should be high-resolution images
(minimum of 330 dpi) or very sharp resolution
prints. Focus should be razor sharp, and lighting
must be even, not harshly shadowed.Though we
do welcome posed shots, action shots are also
important. In them, subjects do not need to be
visibly moving in each shot (i.e., with their
motion causing a visible blur), but they should
appear to be performing some type of action
(i.e., reaching into a pouch, starting a fire, etc.)
Unusual shots are also welcomed (i.e., a writer
recently sent in a photo of goats grazing on a
restaurant’s rooftop).
Please remember that, because of the large
volume of submissions we receive daily, articles
and photos submitted cannot be returned.
Therefore, please only submit copies of your
articles and photos, never originals. Please keep
in mind, also, that limited publication space is
available each month. Although we review all
items received, we cannot necessarily publish all
items received. Hence, submission of your works
does not guarantee publication.
We try to choose articles and photos that
best suit the needs of both the magazine and the
Association. Therefore, non-GWRRA related
material on events, activities, etc., may not be
published.
Remember our international focus—what is
appropriate for a Chapter newsletter may not
necessarily work well in Wing World.
And please note that we reserve the right to
refuse publication of submissions we consider
libelous, defamatory, disputatious, or in bad taste.
Having explained those aspects, let me
encourage your contributions again. Send your
story and photos via e-mail to [email protected]
or by mail to: Wing World, GWRRA, 21423 N.
11th Ave., Phoenix,AZ 85027.
Of course, please include all your pertinent
information, such as name, GWRRA number,
address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.
Good luck and best wishes.We’d love to consider publishing your story and photos.
A Closing Thought
Just in case you’re wondering, Editor Nick
Hoppner and I probably enjoy reading your stories and seeing your photos as much as you enjoy
sharing them with your Chapter friends. Don’t
let the miles between us deter you from sharing
them with us as well.

“Young Couple, Young Wing”
e appreciate your publishing our
story “Young Couple, Young Wing”
and enjoyed reading it in Wing World.We have
received calls from Members who also
enjoyed it. I mentioned some future rides in
the story, and we just returned safely from
our Memorial Day weekend ride to Niagara
Falls, logging 2,400 miles in four days. We
experienced high temperatures and humidity, and we learned you can put in a 16-hour
day on a Gold Wing!
We are planning a midsummer trip to the
Grand Canyon.
Once again, thank you for publishing our
first story, and thanks to the Members who
phoned us. If you’re ever riding in the Harris,
Minnesota, area, we’re in the Gold Book!

Back Issues and Downloads
am a new Member of GWRRA, having only
joined in January of this year. I was wondering how to obtain copies of the January
2006 and February 2006 issues of Wing

Also, may I download/copy any past technical items for GL1500/6 Gold Wings?
Hoping you can help me in these matters.
The articles in Wing World are very interesting. Keep up the good work.

agree with the editorial [“The Time Has
Come,” June 2006]. There needs to be
more automatic motorcycles for all of us
who don’t like to do all that shifting! For
years, women all over have bought cars with
automatic transmissions, just as they have
bought automatic dishwashers and washing
machines. Why? Because they save time and
are easy to operate!
If Gold Wings were automatic, I can
almost guarantee their sales would go up.You

Automatic Gold Wing
ick Hoppner, I read your editorial
[“The Time Has Come,” June 2006] the
other day in which you were suggesting that
it’s high time Honda makes a Gold Wing with
an available automatic transmission. I just
N
wanted to throw my two cents’ worth in. I’m
with you 100 percent. I am so sick and tired
of shifting that, if they ever offered an automatic, I would be the first one to buy it. Keep
the pressure on them, as only a person in
your position can.

clarify myself: I don’t suggest all Gold Wings
should be automatic—merely that an automatic, Gold Wing-based trike would be a very attractive choice for many buyers.We suggest GWRRA

the development of an automatic transmission

Vacation Saved!
y wife Cindy & I had been planning to
take a trip for the last two years. She
went through motorcycle rider training, got
her motorcycle license and has been riding
now for a couple of years. Last year, we went
on our first trip not too far from home,
probably about 450 miles. But then Mom
went into the hospital and our trip was cut
short.
This year was to be our first big trip as
riders out of town and out of state.We were
going camping, and a friend was going to loan
us his camper. Wow, we were really going!
But on a Chapter ride one week before our
trip, my GL1200 SEi broke down. After several days of diagnostics, we determined it
could be an electrical problem, but we were
not sure what kind.We were devastated, and
our trip plans looked likely to be cancelled.
Our Chapter Director heard about this
and offered his GL1500 and camper for our
trip, since his camper was already wired for
his bike. I was shocked and honored that he
would do this. We picked up the bike and
camper on the Monday night before our trip.
I was excited about leaving on our jour-
M
Wing World
ney, and I rode a couple of days prior to our
scheduled departure to get used to his bike.
Everything was ready, but the weather was
not cooperating. It rained and rained, and the
forecast was more rain every day with high
winds of 40-45 mph and cold. Needless to say,
our trip was cancelled.
Disappointed to say the least, we started
to plan our next trip. I loved the GL1500’s
ride so much, I bought a used 1500 during
that week of rain.
The point of the whole story is this: If I
had not joined GWRRA and made it to a
Chapter meeting one September day three
years ago, we would not have all the wonderful friends we have met through GWRRA.
If you think you don’t get anything but a
membership card from GWRRA, you are
wrong! These people care about you and your
family. My mother and mother-in-law have
both been in the hospital and, when they
were, the folks in the Chapter called and sent
cards. When we needed a camper, not one,
but two, were offered, plus a motorcycle on
two different occasions! And another
Member offered to help change out the stator on my GL1200.
I ask you this:Who else would offer these
things to help? Friends for Fun? It’s more like
“Family for Fun!” Many Members have come
to the rescue of others in our Chapter, not to
mention have helped other people who are
not even GWRRA Members. Many times I
have had help or been given referrals to
things because of our friendships with one
another.
Join in! Be a Member! We all love to have
fun! Friendship is a great thing!

“County Riders”
t all started in 2002, when a small group of
riders from Chapter IL-L planned a county
ride.The rules were simple:Visit all the counties in your state; use only two-lane roads;
and once you go into a county, you may not
re-enter it. The Illinois county trip lasted a
week and took about 1,900 miles to see all
109 counties.
Then came Wisconsin in 2005. Same rules
except for getting out of Door County. We
did all 72 counties in 2,092 miles. Both Illinois
and Wisconsin are great states to ride in!

This year, Harlan Thillen (half of the ’89-’90
International Couple of the Year) did the road
map for a county ride in Missouri. Having
done both previous rides, he has his ride planning down to a science.
Missouri has 114 counties. Our ride took
us 2,195 miles in seven days to complete. I
think there are more hills and curves in
Missouri than in any other state I have been
in! In fact, we only found two roads that were
straight for more than a mile at a time.
To my knowledge, no one other than
Harlan has done any of these states individu-
ally—let alone three of them! And Harlan has
already mapped out both Indiana and Iowa.
We will have to decide which one will get the
nod for next year.

Belated Thanks
’ve been going to write probably 100 times
just to say thanks to the many people who
contribute to our great magazine but always
put it off until they are gone on to bigger and
better things.
GWRRA attracts some very great and
smart individuals, and I always enjoy reading
their words of wit. I won’t even try to name
everyone, but Mike Wright, I think, did a great
job and I miss him. Nick Hoppner does a
bang-up job, even if some of his vocabulary is
way beyond me. Howard Halasz did a great
job. Stu Oltman—what an individual! As a
young man, I worked as a mechanic. I wish I
had done my work half as well as he does.
Thanks to everyone, office staff and all,
from 1981 to now! As Members of GWRRA,
we’re all lucky to have you!

’93 Wing Shows Bad Gas Mileage
Stu, glad to see you back behind the keyboard. Welcome back.
I have a 1993 GL1500 SE that gets lousy gas
mileage. I have had it tuned up religiously, and
each year it seems to get worse. This last tuneup, the mechanic knocked all the loose rust out
of the mufflers and found one of the vacuum
lines was soft enough to collapse at higher rpm.
The carburetors were synchronized and the
plugs were checked and are burning a light tan.
With all that had been done, I was hoping for
some good gas mileage, but I am getting only 35
September 2006
miles to the gallon. With the higher price of gas,
just an afternoon ride can get pricey, let alone
going cross-country.
The mechanic said that there was one more
thing he could check. There are solenoids in the
carburetors that adjust the fuel mixture, and that
might be the problem. Can you give me any
insight as to why my gas mileage continues to
drop?
Daniel Zeidler
GWRRA #150427
Spencer, Wisconsin
Hmmm, without seeing the machine, Daniel,
it’s hard to say what factors to check. Let’s list
the possibilities: An oversized windshield, low
tire pressures, dragging brakes, clogged air filter, vacuum leak, worn-out spark plugs, low
compression, air jets clogged with pieces of subair filter, maladjusted cam drive belts, carburetors in need of cleaning or repair—the list goes
on.
Actually, the air jet solenoids are located
under the right-hand fairing pocket, not in the
carburetors. The air entering them is filtered
through the sub-air filter. If the foam sub-air filter deteriorates, the pieces may be sucked into
the carburetor air jets, enrichening the mixture
under all conditions and increasing fuel consumption.
But 35 mpg actually isn’t out of the ballpark
for a normal GL1500. Regardless of model year,
most 1500s consume between 35 to 40 mpg—
less if ridden continuously above 3,000 rpm.
That vacuum line you mentioned probably
should be replaced. And if the plugs were merely checked and not replaced, that’s not exactly
what I’d call a “tune-up” service.

GL1500 Hesitation When Hot
My 1994 Gold Wing, with 55,000 miles, has
developed a hot weather problem. After riding
for awhile with no problems and then riding in
traffic and getting hot, it will run okay at a
steady speed but, when you try to accelerate, it
will buck and hesitate up to about 2,000 rpm. It
helps to give it more throttle, but will get worse
if you lug it down and, at lower rpm, will drop
one or two cylinders but will pick up the cylinders if you give it more throttle (above 2,000).
I have replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the
air cleaner (K&N) and blown some air through
the jets in the carburetor. The right-side slide in
the carb seems to hang up with the engine off
but works okay with the engine running; there
are no kinks in the gas cap pressure relief hose,
and the pressure in the tank is about the same as
other Wings. There appear to be no vacuum
leaks. It does not do it all the time. If I ride in a
little cooler weather and do not ride in traffic, it
is okay. Also, when it acts up, if I let it sit for an
hour, it will be okay until it gets hot and in traffic.
And of course, since I live in Florida, it’s
mostly hot. It appears to me to be a fuel problem. What do you think?
Roger Price
GWRRA #103066
DeBary, Florida
Roger, if we’re reading this correctly, it
sounds like you’re riding in city traffic at steady
speeds with the engine at below 2,000 rpm.
You’re lugging the engine in too high a gear.
Check your owner’s manual. We think there’s a
page that suggests which gear you should use
for which speed range. Seldom should you be in
top gear (overdrive) for around-town riding.
Another possibility is that, since yours is an
old bike and probably has had its engine lugged
fairly regularly, it is likely that the carburetors
need to be overhauled and synchronized, especially if one carb slide is sticking.
Another Ethanol Inquiry
I have a 1990 SE and, with all the talk about
ethanol gas appearing at the gas pumps, I am
wondering what effects, if any, we will see if we
use ethanol instead of regular gas. I’ve heard
that it can really screw up the carburetor seals
on older Gold Wings. Your insight is appreciated.
Mahlon Lighthill
GWRRA #85390
Columbus, Texas
Mahlon, gasohol is a blend of 10 percent
ethanol and 90 percent unleaded gasoline.
That’s fine to run in your Gold Wing. But E85 is
a different story, and I believe it’s what you’re
referring to as “ethanol.”
E85 is a blend of 15 percent unleaded gasoline and 85 percent ethanol. It will cause expen-
sive damage if used in a vehicle not specifically
designed to use it. How can one tell if a vehicle
is designed to burn E85? One way would be to
check the fuel recommendations in the vehicle’s
owner’s manual. Any Gold Wing owner availing
himself or herself of that option will quickly find
that E85 is not an acceptable fuel.
GL1500 Won’t Start
With Clutch Disengaged
I ride a 1989 GL1500 motorcycle with a little over 187,000 miles, and the problem I have
never happened before. I do not know what is
causing it or where to look for corrective action.
Please be advised that I have never had the bike
in for dealer maintenance since purchase. Since
I am a licensed aircraft mechanic who was
trained in automotive maintenance and holds a
degree in aircraft maintenance engineering, I
am familiar with troubleshooting and maintenance of varied vehicles, except for this time.
The problem is that if I accidentally kill the
engine at a stoplight, the engine will not start
until I put the transmission in neutral, even
though the clutch lever is pulled in. This can
cause a delay and, in heavy traffic, could lead to
an accident. I have researched the schematics
and technical information in the Honda Service
Manual but have not found anything anywhere
that addresses this problem. I was wondering if
the sidestand switch could be causing this problem, since the engine will not start if the side-

Sir, if you have any idea what could be causing this problem and how to correct it, I would
surely appreciate your advice. I asked the local

what would be causing it. Could the neutral

And can it be replaced without major disassembly? Help!
Ralph Schroeder
GWRRA #11516
Benbrook, Texas
Hi, Ralph. This is a very common problem
on motorcycles with high mileage or those with
large-diameter aftermarket handgrips. Likely as
not, you’ll find that the clutch switch, which
bypasses the starter safety circuit, isn’t working.
This could be due to a defective switch, a worn
clutch lever bushing, or handgrips large enough
in diameter that they prevent the lever from
moving in far enough to activate the switch. If
you squeeze the clutch lever and hear the switch
click just before the lever reaches the handgrip,
check the switch continuity with an ohm meter.
If it makes and breaks as the lever is operated,
then the problem may be a defective clutch
diode—which lives in the reverse diode assembly. Test it as per the service manual and
replace the entire assembly if it’s found to be
defective.
percent charged, then reduces to 10 percent to
prevent excess gassing or overheating. Once the
battery is charged, the maintainer shifts to float
mode to maintain voltage without overcharging.
Then, to discourage sulfation, about once a
month a maintainer shuts down for a while then
restarts a complete new charging cycle. This
closely mimics a bike that is being ridden
regularly.
1977 GL1000 Help
We decided to try to start our 1977 GL1000.
It has been covered in the garage for the last
year but was started about six months ago just
fine. We have checked the battery (full power)
with voltmeter and battery charger. When Steve
turns the key, no lights, NOTHING. We have
checked the main fuse, the wires to the battery,
the kill switch. What might we be missing?
Steve is stumped!
Steve & Jacque Foster
GWRRA #120927
San Ramon, California
Steve & Jacque, hook a voltmeter across the
battery terminals and watch it as you turn on
the key switch. The battery should have about
12.6 volts, dropping to around 11.8 with the key
on. If the battery goes completely flat when the
key is turned on, that’s “sudden death syndrome”—a well-known problem with floodedtype batteries
GL1100 Starter Clutch
I have an ’82 GL1100 Interstate, and I had
Honda put a new starter on it last fall before I
took it to Florida. Well, it worked fine for a couple of months, then I went to start it one morning and the starter just engaged and then went
“Zing” and now that’s all it does.
I called Honda Bob and he said the starter
clutch is shot. I looked in my service manual
and it says, in order to take that out, I have to
remove the engine. I was just wondering if the
back cover could be removed without taking the
engine out.
I don’t have a lot of money, and the shop
wants $80 per hour to work on it.
Have you ever done it without taking the motor
out?
Skip Anderson.
GWRRA #191214
Rock, Michigan
Skip, by “Zing,” I assume you mean that the
starter spins like crazy but the engine doesn’t
turn over. That’s the starter clutch failing to
engage. The engine rear cover must be removed
to service the starter clutch, and the cover can
be removed only after pulling the engine from
the frame. Sorry for the bad news.
l
Mild Winter Care
I now live in a more northerly climate, as
opposed to southern California. That’s not bad,
but the winter riding is sporadic, so I do not
winterize our bikes. Besides, they live in a
garage with a Battery Tender. What I do is two
things:
First, I never let a gasoline engine sit without a full tank—you know, air space, condensation, etc.
Second, I never let a gasoline engine sit
more than two days. I run-up the engines every
third day for a minimum of five minutes.
Do you think I need to add a fuel stabilizer?
Do you think the bikes should be run-up more
often?
E. J. Fine
GWRRA #144333
Oak Harbor, Washington
Hi, E.J. What I think you should do is to stop
running the engine every two days. All you’re
accomplishing is to drain the battery and fill the
crankcase and mufflers with condensation. That
contaminates the oil and promotes muffler rustout. If you do start the engine, it’s best to run it
for at least 30 minutes after reaching full operating temperature. I suggest fuel stabilizer if the
bike will not be used for two weeks or more.
Otherwise, it’s probably unnecessary. I also
suggest the purchase (and use) of an automatic
motorcycle battery maintainer—a device that
charges at full amperage until the battery is 90

Trailer Economics
B y J o h n M a g u i re • G W R R A # 1 1 7 6 6 3 , AC D o f C A 1 - I
n all honesty, I have never really been a
fan of pulling a trailer with a motorcycle.
In fact, I probably wouldn’t own one at
all if mine hadn’t been purchased for me. I
have always preferred the challenge of surviving on minimal supplies and equipment
and enjoying the freedom of having nothing
holding me back but the wind and my
checkbook.
This is not to say that I haven’t grown to
appreciate my trailer and the ability to
carry a closet full of boots, shoes, jackets,
pants, socks, underwear and souvenirs of
far-flung attractions and adventures while
traveling on the bike. It’s just that, after
doing the math, I still have some doubts about
the overall economics of purchasing and maintaining a small motorcycle trailer.
Consider this…Let’s say that the average
touring motorcyclist takes one extended trip
(over five days) a year. (Now, I know some of
you do more than that, but stay with me here
for a second.) Commercially made trailers
average about $3,000 apiece, with many of the
really nice ones going for more than $5,000
when you add in all the really neat options.
If you keep that trailer for 10 years (which
is a very long time for some folks), you are
spending between $300 and $500 a year to
own that trailer. Add to that the space it takes
up in the garage 97.8 percent of the time, plus
licensing and insurance, and the investment
goes up appreciably!
• Covina, California
I
So, let’s say that you are like me and you
don’t own one of those super slick, mirror
gloss-glazed, hyper-streamlined, air ride, plushcarpeted beauties with hot and cold running
water, solar-generated indirect interior lighting and surround sound entertainment center.
I own a $500, 1979 Coleman Caboose
with tongue-mounted ice chest holder, made
from scrap B-17 aircraft parts and 12-inch
Wal-Mart wheels, tires, and bearings.
Therefore, my “trailer economics” are reasonable.
Plus, I’m not worried about harming the fit
and finish of the body. I can store it outside
with nothing more to worry about than a few
complaints from the neighbors and an occasional watery insult from stray dogs.
There is a very real downside, however, to

owning one of these more reasonably
priced “jewels.” According to my calculator, when my bike, Ol’ Blue, is running along
at 65 mph, those little Wal-Mart tires and
bearings are spinning at over 100 mph!
You see, for every one revolution of the
Wing’s tires, those 12-inchers on the
Coleman are spinning almost twice!
(Actually, 1.66 times, but let’s not split hairs
here!) I am sure that the only reason those
wheels and bearings don’t self-destruct at
that speed is that they don’t carry very
much weight. (Fully loaded, I can usually lift
one side of the trailer off the ground a tiny
bit.)
Does this bother me? You bet it does. I
would very much like to run at the speeds so
many of my brethren enjoy running on the
interstates, but my mechanic’s mind keeps
telling me that I could be creating “bearing
crunchies” while happily racing toward the
horizon.
But, what am I to do?
The “trailer economics” of $50/yr rather
than $500/yr make better sense to me. And
since a new, sleek, big-wheeled trailer is probably not coming to Casa Maguire any time
soon, I suppose I will just have to run a bit
slower than most of my friends and keep a
wary eye out for dogs when it’s parked out
back.

Just A Day Trip
By Gordon Murphy, National Director of Rider Education, Canada
h, no,” you say, “he’s not writing
about one of his trips again!”
Well, this is just a brief dissertation about a short day trip I took recently that
for some reason inspired me to jot down a
few lines.
I awoke to bright sunshine and beautiful
blue skies on this early June morning. Before
the morning progressed very far, my riding
buddy, Frank, called. (You may remember
Frank Harvey as one half of the couple about
which I wrote in the December 2000 issue of
Wing World. Frank was then 75 years old and,
though he had only been riding then for about
six years, he had already ridden more kilometers than most riders do in a lifetime. Frank is
now 81 years old and just as anxious to ride
as he was the first day I met him.)
Frank, who lives about a one-hour ride
from my home, wondered if we were going for
a ride. I quickly agreed and we agreed on a
location and time to meet.
After gassing up at one of our favorite gas
bar/restaurants and after topping up our caffeine levels, we decided to do what we call the
“Cape Shore ride.” This is a ride that takes the
rider on a winding trek around the southwest
tip of Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula.
Temperatures ranged from a comfortable
16°C to 19°C (60-66°F).
We stopped at the homes of a couple of
friends in Placentia to invite them to accompany us. However, neither was home, so that
part of the plan failed to materialize.
In a short while we were twisting and turning along a road that followed the contour of
the wavy shoreline.The Atlantic Ocean to our
right was resting comfortably, but we knew full
well the fury with which it could erupt when
it and the wind conspired to demonstrate
their combined power. I have always marveled
at the courage of residents who have built
their houses on rocky promontories fully
exposed to the harsh northerly winds and
raging seas. However, I have been told that the
ocean has a mystical hold on those who make
their living harvesting the various species of
fish from those often-stormy waters. I was
quite content to glance out across the calm
expanse of ocean on that day. I have no difficulty in accepting the fact I am a confirmed
“O
September 2006
“landlubber.”
While many of the communities through
which we traveled are currently economically
disadvantaged due to declining fish stocks, I
couldn’t help but be very impressed at the
meticulously maintained grounds surrounding
many of the homes.These residents obviously
take great pride in their properties, and one
would be hard pressed to believe that their
main industry and life career was going
through its most difficult time ever.There is no
question but that the rustic beauty of the
countryside through which we were riding
had held the same pull for the families that
had settled those communities for centuries.
We stopped in the small community of St.
Bride’s for a delicious meal of fish and chips,
and then headed across the peninsula to
another part of the bay.This part of the countryside, though sparsely settled, was a contrast
to our earlier scenery. Interspersed with
some large marshes, a profusion of vegetation
grew in a myriad of colors. Large tracts of
young fir trees were also sprouting with
branches that seemed to convey a soft, downy,
green texture. The vibrancy of the late spring
growing season was evident everywhere I
looked.
With my radio turned off and only very
occasional communication on the CB radio,
we continued on our rather circuitous route
that ultimately brought us to the Trans Canada
Highway, where Frank headed back to his
home. I continued on to my home as well,
thinking what a great ride this had been! Our
GL1800s had performed flawlessly, further
heightening our enjoyment.
I couldn’t help thinking again, for the thousandth time I’m sure, how very fortunate we
are to have the privilege of riding such a wonderful machine as the Gold Wing and to be
healthy enough to enjoy it to the fullest.
Bon jour!

Accident Aftermath
n March 28 of this year, my boyfriend,
Jake Rhodes, was involved in a horrific
motorcycle accident in Christmas, Florida. His
left lower leg was severed at the scene; what
remained of his leg was amputated above the
knee. Jake is 53 years old and plans, with the
help of a prosthetic, to lead a normal, healthy
and very active life.
Jake & I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the GWRRA Members who
sent Jake cards wishing him well and those
who were willing to donate blood. We would
also like to thank all of our friends from
GWRRA FL-1F. We would not have made it
through this very difficult time without their
friendship. They have cooked for us, stayed
with Jake when I had to go back to work,
helped out monetarily, and have gone far
above and beyond the call of friendship. We
are both truly grateful. (Titan, our dog, is too!)
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We
are looking forward to riding with you all
again soon.
Thanks again, and may God bless you and
keep you safe.

Yes, There Really Is A Santa Claus
s the 2006 Michigan District Couple of
the Year, Bob & I decided that we were
going to ride our motorcycles to the rallies that
we were going to be attending. My husband
has a 1989 GL1500 Gold Wing and I ride a
1999 Honda Shadow Aero 1100.
The first rally on our schedule was the
Indiana District Rally in Bloomfield, Indiana.
We left our home in Garden City, Michigan,
after work on Thursday with the intention of
riding to Fort Wayne to spend the night. Even
though it was raining and very windy out, our
trip was progressing without any problems.
We made it into Fort Wayne and my husband called me on the CB and said he was
going to get off the freeway at the first exit to
consult our map as to where our hotel was.
As soon as we got to the frontage road, I
noticed a considerable shaking of my bike. I
immediately called my husband and said that
the bike was very squirrelly. We pulled over to
the shoulder of the road to discover that the
rear tire on my bike was flat. (The tire that had
been replaced just two weeks before!)
We decided to limp down the shoulder of
A
the road to a gas station. That’s where I got the
Gold Book out of the bike and started looking
for someone to help us. The first number I
called, I didn’t get an answer. The second one
I called was to Paul “Santa Claus” Gebert of
Chapter IN-D2. Within an hour, Paul and his
brother Steve were there with a trailer for the
bike. Not only did they help us get the bike on
the trailer, but they took it to Paul’s home to
store in his garage for the night. They made
sure we got to our hotel safely and, first thing
next morning, they took the bike themselves to
Red Line Honda in Fort Wayne, where their
mechanic, Kevin Keys, put the bike up on the
hoist and immediately started working on it!
Paul and Steve came back to the hotel to
pick us up and take us to the Honda shop,
where the bike was ready and waiting for us!
We made it to the rally a little later than we had
planned, but we still had a great time!
I just want to let everyone know that the
Gold Book really does work. Paul and Steve
were great! They wouldn’t take anything from
us for their help. I want to let them know how
much we appreciate their help! We will not
forget what they did for us and hope someday
we can return the favor by helping out someone else who needs assistance.
So now, when people ask me if I believe in
Santa Claus, I can tell them, “Yes I do, I’ve
met him in person!”

Buckeyes To The Rescue!
n May 27, my son, Jim, my neighbor,
Bob, and I left for a trip through
Michigan and Wisconsin.
The next day, my GL1500’s engine died.
Thinking it was the four-year-old battery, we
bought a new one at an auto parts store. They
charged it about half-an-hour; I put it in the
bike and it started right up. We rode 30 miles
more and it died again at a traffic light.
I got out my Gold Book and called Classic
Cycles in Columbus, Ohio. They had no alternators in stock.
So then I called Tim Collins in Columbus.
He offered to bring his trailer, load up my bike
and trailer, and take me to Competition
Accessories in Springfield, Ohio. As it was
almost closing time, they asked me to start the
bike and they’d check it. They put a meter on
it and said it was okay, that it just hadn’t been
adequately charged.
So we went to a gas station and charged it
for an hour. While we were there, Jim Bevens,
Chapter Director of the Springfield Chapter,
stopped to ask if he could help. He also left us
his cell phone.
We rented a motel room a block away and
took the bike there. We finished charging the
battery and put it into the bike.
Next morning, Memorial Day, we checked
out of the motel, had breakfast, and went to a
gas station where the bike died again. Jim
Bevens came with his truck and trailer again
and brought a meter. The alternator wasn’t
charging at all. Meanwhile, his wife was
phoning other Members in search of an alternator.
She found one northwest of Indianapolis.
Grumpy Williams said we were welcome to
use it and then send it back when we got
home. But that wasn’t necessary because Neal
Marshfield from Dayton called the next morning. He was closer, and he offered his alternator. He brought it to the motel; we installed it
and asked him how much he wanted for it. He
said to use it and, when I got home, if I still
wanted to buy it I should send him what I
thought it was worth. If not, I should just send
it back to him.
We completed the rest of the trip troublefree, thanks to the help of these kind and helpful people. You read about these types of incidents in Wing World, but don’t think it will
happen to you. Well, it did happen to me, and
I found out the Gold Book is worth its weight
in gold! These fine people in Ohio deserve to
O
September 2006
be recognized for all of the help they gave me.
If they are ever in Greenville, South Carolina,
I hope they will look me up!

Mother’s Day Mayhem
n May 13, we started out on our trip to
Utah to help friends celebrate their
daughter’s graduation from high school. After
over 400 miles of travel, the day’s end was in
sight. We were less than a mile from Gunter
Hill campsite near Prattville, Alabama, when
we picked up nails in both the camper tires and
the Wing’s rear tire. It was the evening before
Mother’s Day, and we could not find a 12inch, four-lug tire for the camper.
On Sunday, Mother’s Day, we found a tire
at Harbor Freight and a neighboring camper
took us to get it. That left only the Wing’s tire
with which to deal.
We dug the Gold Book out of the trunk and
called Randall McGalliard of Chapter AL-Z
O
in Prattville. This man worked magic! He
got Ed Padgett, the accessory manager at
Montgomery Honda Yamaha, to open the store
to sell us a tire. He also gave us the number of
the owner of Power Sports in Prattville, who
came with a trailer and hauled the Wing to his
shop, where his mechanic replaced the tire. All
of this was done on Mother’s Day, making it
possible for us to continue our trip on Monday
instead of waiting until the shops opened on
Tuesday.
Our deepest thanks go out to our fellow
Winger, Randall McGalliard, who made it
possible for us to continue our trip and make
our necessary connections with other bikers
on time. He not only helped us, but he also
called that evening to make sure we were able
to continue our trip. Our thanks also to Ed
Padgett of Montgomery Honda and to the
owner and mechanic of the Power Sports of
Prattville. Our special thanks go out to
Randall and to the Gold Book.

PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION’S 460 SERIES GL1800 SHOCK
Announced
June
1,
Progressive Suspension has
finally released its muchanticipated 460 Series shock
for the GL1800.
Nearly two years of development time have resulted in what Progressive says is the ultimate suspension upgrade for the modern Gold Wing. Designed to improve the
ride and handling of the GL1800 and also integrate with the original
equipment computer-controlled preload adjustment system, the 460
Series shock is constructed using a durable steel body and hard chrome
shaft to reduce wear. Internals include a nitrogen-charged damper,
which eliminates cavitation, and an O-ring-backed piston for smooth
and consistent movement. Naturally, the spring is a progressive rate unit
and designed specifically for the needs of the Gold Wing.
High-end suspension is adjustable to suit rider weight and preferences. Two pre-load ranges allow for varied loading without impacting
suspension performance, and 16 positions of rebound adjustment allow
the shock to be perfectly tuned to the rider’s needs. A simple tool,
included with the shock, allows for easy rebound changes. To learn
more about the 460 Series (Part Number 460-1001; MSRP $604), visit

moved up to a GL1800 in the spring of 2003 from a 1988 GL1500
that I loved. Almost every aspect of the GL1800 is, in my opinion, an
improvement over my beloved GL1500. But one of the few things I
missed on the new GL1800 was a means of playing my own prerecorded music. I had initially planned on buying the six-disc Hondaline CD
changer. But the high cost (approximately $900) and reports of reliability problems with the unit kept me holding back.
As time passed, I began to consider alternatives to the CD changer.
The GL1800 comes with a pigtail wire harness for
an auxiliary input to the audio system.This pigtail is
installed under the left fairing pocket with a plug
into the wiring harness. The pigtail is then brought
out through a rubber grommet into the fairing box.
Using this input, there are many alternatives for
playing prerecorded music. I considered a single
portable CD player, a Sony mini-disc player, and various forms of MP3 players. (MP3, for those who
don’t know of the format, is a music file used by
computers.) This file format allows a huge amount
of music to be recorded and played back by very
small, relatively economical MP3 players.
All of my research indicated that, of all available
MP3 players, the Apple iPod® was widely regarded
as the best available. I settled on the 20-gigabyte
model that was universally advertised in my area
for $299.This unit seemed larger than I needed, but
the smaller models seemed too small.This model is
basically a 20-gig computer hard drive that will
store recorded music files or any type of computer file. This model is advertised as having a “7,500-song capacity.” Of
course this is based on some average song length that is not revealed in
the ads. How much would I really be able to store on this device? I didn’t know, but it seemed it would easily store more CDs than I own
(about 150).This seemed like a much better option than a $900 six-disc
changer.
As I looked into what would be required in a computer to run the
iPod, I discovered that my computer, a 1999-vintage Dell, was inadequate
to do the job. Upgrading the old computer was not economically feasible, so I bought a new computer first for $850. (Of course I can rationalize this purchase because my old computer was bought and paid for
long ago and I will use the new one for many other things—like writing
this article, for example. Note, however, that this logic was somehow
lost on my wife!)
Then I purchased the iPod. I expected a bit of a learning curve in
learning to record music into my computer and transfer it to the iPod,
so I was very pleasantly surprised to find that once the Apple iTunes®
software (provided with the iPod) was loaded into the computer,
recording music couldn’t be easier. A disc is inserted into the computer’s CD drive.The computer quickly scans the disc and posts the songs,
artist, album and genre. A click on “Import” and the tracks are downloaded (recorded) into the computer at between 9 and 16 times the
speed that they could be played.
I
26
Once the tracks are in the computer, a click on any of the headings—
Song, Artist, Album or Genre—will have the computer arrange the files
in alphabetical order by that heading in a blink of the eye. Connect the
iPod to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable and the music files are transferred to the iPod even faster than they were recorded from the CD to
the computer.Wow!
I was a bit baffled as to how to mount the iPod on the Wing. I would
have liked to mount it on the handlebars, but since it is a hard drive, I
believed the banging it might receive mounted on the bars could eventually take a toll on it. I decided that the best way to absorb shock would
be to mount the iPod to me. I bought a #4202482 six-foot headphone
extension cord at Radio Shack (the shortest they had) and a Marware
Sport Suit Convertible, that included an armband mount, from an Apple
store.The headphone cord plugs into the auxiliary input under the left
fairing pocket. I leave about two feet of cord outside the fairing and
mount the iPod in the armband on my left leg above the knee.With the
iPod mounted in this position, I can read the display and operate the
controls while seated on the bike. Unfortunately, I find that the iPod’s
scroll wheel control can’t be used easily with gloves on. This control is
used in scrolling through menus and heading lists. I am considering cutting off the fingertip of my left glove’s middle finger to use this control
more easily.* (Ed. Note: See postscript below)
I have yet to discover just how much music the 20-gig iPod will actually hold. So far I have recorded about 205 virtually full-length CDs and
quite a few choice cuts from many others. At this
point, I have used only 8.64 gigs. The iTunes software says this is 2,304 songs, or approximately 6.6
days of continuous music. I have just begun raiding
my friends and family’s music libraries.
If you are looking for an alternative to the
pricey CD changer for your GL1800 and have
access to a suitable computer, look into the Apple
iPod. My choice was the 20-gig model, but they
are available as small as 512K (about 120 songs)
for about $99 and as large as 60-gig (about 15,000
songs) at about $399. One of the many advantages
that an iPod has over its many competitors is a
huge variety of aftermarket devices provided by
many different companies. Using these devices, an
iPod can be used almost anywhere and in many
different ways.
Having access to my entire library of music
wherever I am has been really great! I have so far
connected the iPod to my home stereo, my car
and, of course, my Wing. I am looking forward to
using it with the supplied ear bud-style headphones while downhill skiing this winter.
There are many ways to mount and use these devices. Some people
choose to mount them inside the trunk or fairing, but I think this limits
my access too much. I am still working on the best way to mount and
use this device. I am open to suggestions and would like to find out how
you mount and use your MP3 player. If you would like to send along your
suggestions, send them to [email protected].
* I have had a chance to evaluate this setup on a motorcycle trip since I
wrote the original article, above. I was able to overcome the inability to operate the scroll wheel with gloves on. At gas stops, with my gloves off, I selected
an album or artist I wished to listen to, and began playing it. I then selected
the next album I wished to hear.When the first selection was over, I was able
to play the next album I had selected by pressing the Select button (in the center of the scroll wheel). In this way, I was able to travel 2-2 1/2 hours before
needing another selection. By that time, I was in need of fuel and I just repeated the process. (I am told that the new 30-gig iPod with Video may work with
gloves on.) Overall, I like the way the iPod works with the Wing’s stereo. I have
also used it on road trips in my car (sometimes you just have to take a car)
and with my home stereo. It works great wherever I have tried it.

Spidi Netline
Mesh Jacket
By
Sharon
Stanley, Assistant
Editor
n Pennsylvania, we worry about the cold. Heat—at least extreme
heat—doesn’t weigh heavily on our minds.
I’ve never seen anyone in PA wear a ventilated summer motorcycle jacket. In fact, it’s counterintuitive to me to believe adding layers
should keep one cooler. Layers are for taking
off, not for putting on, as temperatures rise.
But then I met Arizona’s infamous “dry heat”
and, thankfully, Spidi’s Netline series jacket. But
before I tell you all about my new best riding
buddy—the mesh jacket—a little more background is in order.
In late spring, the fact that my first Arizona
summer was fast approaching didn’t faze me
much. Heck, I thought, at least riding season out
here is all year long.
But on May 6, I nearly collapsed from the
heat during my first GWRRA-sponsored Skill
Enhancement seminar. Even between the official
break times we were given, I’d find myself
wheeling my bike toward the ice chest. I’ve
never drunk so much water within a four-hour
period in my life.
By the end of the seminar, many folks had
recounted to me their own near-death experiences with desert heat and offered me advice on how to stay cool.
They advised everything from wearing long-sleeved, light-textured layers to donning ice water-soaked neck bandanas. One rider even suggested I put an ice pack or ice water bottle in my jeans’ inseam so that
it rested along my spine.
That little tidbit was a lifesaver that day. But temperatures in
Arizona still stood to rise another 20-25 degrees before summer’s
end, and I realized I’d better find a more reasonable and reliable form
of beating the heat while riding.
Okay, back to the mesh jacket.
I wound up with a men’s version Spidi mesh jacket, and, I’ll admit, I
had some reservations as I held up the sturdy piece of equipment
(which weighs about 2-1/2 pounds). This thing is too heavy to keep me
cool. It’s almost like putting on a full winter jacket! I was certain I’d be
grateful for the touted Cordura 500 material’s durability if ever I
crashed, but it seemed like overkill. I had envisioned more of a “shirt”
along the lines of a football jersey. How is this thing going to keep me
cool?
But the jacket didn’t feel heavy once I tried it on and, after adjusting the waist fastening and the draw-ties on the sleeves, it actually
looked pretty nice. Okay, I thought, I’ll give it a try.
And, in order to give the mesh jacket a fair assessment of its cooling abilities, I waited for an unseasonably hot (113 degrees F) day in
June. I tested it against the other methods I’d used and one I’d learned
about at the seminar.
First, I tried riding the “Pennsylvania Summertime Traditional
Method” of a T-shirt. A food image came immediately to mind:
Toasted Marshmallow. At last I knew how those white, fluffy confections felt each time I strategically placed them over the campfire. No
way, I thought.
Next, I tried the “Middle Eastern Method” of long-sleeved, light
I
28
fabric coverage. I was amazed to find the thin layer helped; the sun no
longer beat directly on my skin. But I could still feel some rays slipping
through, and the lack of crash protection (as with the T-shirt) concerned me.
Next—just for comparison—I tried the “I Can Still Get Away With
This in Cooler Climates Method” of a black leather jacket. Guess
what? You can’t get away with it here! Wienie Roast are the only
words I’ll use.
At last, I pulled out the Spidi Netline jacket. After recovering from
my leather jacket faux pas, I was especially in need of some convincing that adding a jacket to my body was actually going to keep it cooler. So I tossed the vented jacket on and stepped out from my recovery site under a store’s shaded entryway. Hmmm, this is unusual. Not
quite as cool as the long-sleeved shirt, but definitely cooler than the T-shirt or the leather jacket.
I was in for an even bigger surprise, however, as I rode on down the road. In addition
to blocking the sun’s rays, as had the longsleeved shirt, the jacket’s punched mesh fabric
(two full layers) allowed gentle and unexpected puffs of air through it—the type of airflow
I’d only expect from a T-shirt.
At stoplights and stop signs, I’ll admit, I felt
slightly warmer in the jacket than I had in the
long-sleeved shirt. But each time I pulled out
from a dead stop, those puffs of air would
reappear, and their cooling effect more than
made up for the “dead stop” situations. In fact,
in the long run, the jacket was cooler than the
long-sleeved shirt had been and, of course,
offered far more protection.
Man, this is the best of all worlds, I thought.
Wind effect of a T-shirt, sun protection of a longsleeved shirt, and crash protection similar to a leather jacket. All this, and
it’s still cooler when riding than any of the three!
Even before I pulled in to my final destination, I was sold: Mesh is
the only way to ride in the heat. And I’m convinced mesh isn’t just for
Arizona-style heat, either. Since wearing protective gear is always
advisable, why wear a T-shirt in cooler climates on hot days when you
can just as easily wear a mesh jacket?
In addition to the cooling effect of the Spidi Netline jacket, I especially liked that it’s material is water resistant (50% waterproof) and
that the jacket includes a removable windproof tank top for versatility. Plus, the removable shoulder and elbow-forearm guards are CEcertified, and there’s a pouch to add an optional CE-certified Warrior
back protector, if desired.
What I didn’t like about the Spidi was that the shoulder armor
made me look like a Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker. Then again, it’s
likely I’ll get a Netline specifically designed for women (the “Fit For
Lady” version, which came out April of 2004, a year after the men’s
version). It sells for the same retail price and has a much slimmer cut
to its shoulders and cleaner lines throughout.
At $199.99 retail price, the Netline is the least expensive Spidi
product in its Textech category because it’s minus some of the bells
and whistles of Spidi’s more expensive product lines. But the fact that
the jacket carries the Spidi name—synonymous with high quality racing gear—is in and of itself reason to give this particular ventilated
summer jacket a look-see. Available in sizes S-3XL and colors red,
blue, gray/silver, or black.

Golden Anniversary Surprise
In January, Kelly & Margalo Clayton,
GWRRA #118249, celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary. Chapter WV-B held
a party in their honor. Kelly’s gift to
Margelo was a set of arm rests for a
GL1800.This was perplexing to Margelo,
as she knew they didn’t have a motorcycle the arm rests would fit—or so she
thought. Then Kelly really surprised her
by revealing the brand-new GL1800 trike
he’d bought so they could ride down the
“roads of life” toward more happily married years.
Thousands See GWRRA Display At English Show
At the British Motorcycle

Peterborough County Show
Ground over the weekend of
May 20-21, Chapter EN-B’s display stand took fourth place.This
is highly commendable when
compared with some of the
other displays, produced by
Ducati, Honda Club Great Britain and other large interests, frequently
backed with substantial commercial funding.
EN-B’s Chapter Directors Mike & Jacki Brister put together the stand for
GWRRA, which was staffed by Members from Chapters EN-B and EN-A.
Among other things, the stands are judged on appearance and friendliness of those who are manning the stands.Attendance at this show numbers
around 90,000.
Iowa O Brings ’Em Up Right!
Caleb Borseth began riding motorcycles with Chapter IA-O at a very
young age. Actually he started out in a
sidecar when he was just a baby. He
attended monthly Chapter meetings
with his parents Lonnie & Dianne, usually riding on the back of his dad’s
motorcycle. At the get-togethers, he
helped pass out door prizes and always
made sure the food was acceptable.
Last year Caleb became old enough to get a job at a local grocery store,
and his parents felt that he was also responsible enough to begin to ride on
his own. Soon he was the proud owner of a Honda 250 Rebel. His parents
worked patiently with him and, over the course of several months, he
became a proficient rider.
Last winter, Caleb found a Honda 750 Shadow A.C.E. at one of the local
dealers. On June 4, Lonnie & Dianne decided it was time for Caleb to discover the fun of riding with the group. They surprised Caleb by taking him
to a fireman’s breakfast and having the rest of the Chapter meet them there.

eighteen bikes and trikes from Chapter IA-O showed up to welcome the

Rick Sheehan, IA-O’s Ride Coordinator reports, “Through all the miles,
over hill and valley, and around all the curves, Caleb kept up well. IA-O, his
extended family, is always glad when we get a new Member to join our ranks,
and it is really exciting when we see the rider mature before our eyes.”
Texas Two-Wheeled Lodging

the hostelry is lodging for motorcyclists and bicyclists only. All cabins are
non-smoking; each has a picnic table, grill and chairs in the front yard. Deb
Rose is a new rider and finds fellow riders considerate and appreciative customers, so she caters specifically to them by providing lots of extra services. For information, call (830) 232-5246 or visit www.droseinn.com.
GWRRA Celebrates 29th Birthday
GWRRA was
founded 29 years
ago, on June 4, 1977,
when seven Wingers
got together for the
first time in Phoenix,
Arizona, and decided to begin the
Association.
Plans are underway for a gala 30th Anniversary Celebration that will involve a variety of
events and observations soon to be announced.
In this photo, GWRRA Founder and Chairman of the Board Paul
Hildebrand (seated) poses with a 29th birthday cake that celebrates his (and
several Home Office staff members’) anniversary dates with the Association.
Relay Along Route 66
This September 9, Rodger
Fox, GWRRA #236472, will
begin a trip from Chicago to
Santa Monica, California, to promote the American Cancer
Society’s “Relay for Life.”
Rodger said he hopes to raise at least $6,600 (in honor of the Route 66
trek he has planned) for the charity, which addresses not only the research
of cures, but also the emotional needs, of cancer patients.
Both Rodger & his wife Sue each faced cancer back in the 1980s and have
been cancer-free for over 20 years. This year, they were named Honorary
Co-chairs of Relay for Life for their home district of Jacksonville, Illinois, and
have planned other fundraisers in addition to Rodger’s ride.
Members of their home Chapter, MO-T from Springfield, Missouri, will
join Rodger for part of the ride, and he is encouraging other motorcyclists,
especially GWRRA Members, to join him as “ride sponsors” along the way.
To join in, simply access the Web site at www.ridefortherelay.com, obtain a
detailed route map, and meet up with him and others along the way.You will
be asked to make a donation of $33 in order to become a “rider sponsor”
and participate in the ride.
“Remember, you can ride a mile, or all the way!” Rodger says, adding that
he plans to travel as much of the Historic Route 66 as possible.
He also adds that other forms of sponsorships are also available, including Corporate sponsorships for $660 (receives a CD of the trip, full-page ad
on the Web site, and link from ridefortherelay.com); Gold sponsorships for
$66 + $66 (first amount submitted at the beginning, and second amount submitted at the conclusion, of the trip); and Silver sponsorship for a one-time
donation of $66. In addition, all individual and family sponsors will receive a
listing on the ridefortherelay.com Web site.
Rodger says 100 percent of donations will go to the Relay for Life, since

Miseries
To Avoid
By Howard Halasz, Technical Contributor, with special thanks to the following from Bob
Lunsford's Northwest Honda: Ronnie Lunsford, Owner and General Manager; Corky
Farmer, Service Manager; Andrew Senyk and Corky Farmer, Service Technicians.
Battery Problems:
1. If the battery becomes discharged while riding, either the alternator has failed or the electrical system is overloaded. Turn off
or disconnect all non-OEM electrical items, start the engine, and
monitor the voltage at 4,000 rpm. It should begin to climb as
the battery charges. Terminal voltage with a fully charged battery
in good condition will be 14 to 15 volts for all models. If voltage
does rise, the system was likely overloaded by accessories—
made worse by low-speed riding.
2. If there’s no (or very little) voltage increase at 4000 rpm with
accessories off, the alternator and/or voltage regulator may be
faulty. Test as per the appropriate service manual, or have a
qualified mechanic diagnose the electrical system.
3. If placing a battery (in or out of the bike) in storage for more
than one month, attach an automatic battery maintainer to
counteract the normal rate of self-discharge—approximately 1%
per day.
4. Mark it on your calendar—Unless your battery is a sealed, maintenance-free type, inspect its fluid level at least once per month.
Top off to the “full line” with distilled water if the level is close to
the “add line.” Low electrolyte level is the number one killer of
standard, flooded-type batteries.

(Basic motorcycle touring tips)
Maybe you’re just getting into motorcycle touring. Or maybe you’re just getting
back to it after many years’ absence. Maybe you’ve been a short-distance,
around-town rider and now want to ride cross-state or cross-country. Here
are some tips on motorcycle touring, no matter what you’re riding.
Night Riding
There are times when you must continue riding
at night, even if you prefer to avoid it.
• If you can’t see hazards ahead, you can’t take evasive action. Use only
clear eye protection (glasses, goggles, helmet visor).
• Alcohol and carbon monoxide affect night vision. Avoid drinking and
smoking before riding after dark.
• Your eyes take a moment to adjust from bright light to darkness. After
leaving a brightly lit building, give your eyes a few moments to adjust to
lower light levels.
• Avoid looking directly at bright light sources like oncoming headlights.
Instead, shift your vision to a darker area, like the fog line, and use
peripheral vision to stay on course.
• Wild animals increase activity during night hours. Be doubly vigilant.

Us at our destination—Niagara Falls.
cover of this month’s Wing
World! How did it get
there? Betty Kay took a great shot
of our GL1800 while on the trip.
What trip? Thought you’d never ask!
This summer, our Gold Wing trip
destination was Niagara Falls.
Day One was our “Get Out of
Dodge” day. We rode from our home in
Auburndale, Florida, to Georgetown,
North Carolina (500 miles).
Day Two was a breeze. We left
Georgetown and rode to Cedar Island,
North Carolina, staying the night in the
Driftwood Motel.Very relaxing—no phone
in the room and no cell service.

Wing World
Riding beneath the
waves through the
Chesapeake Bay
Bridge Tunnel.
A stretch break along The
Blue Ridge Parkway.
Day Three was a 23-mile ferry ride,
which took 2 1/2 hours to get to Ocracoke.
Then a second ferry to Hatteras. This Outer
Banks ride was a great ride for seeing lighthouses. (That’s our bike at the Bodie Island
Lighthouse on the cover!)
Day Four started with a light mist of rain
as we traveled the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Tunnel. After that, we made our way through
Delaware, the tip of Maryland, and ended in
Hershey, Pennsylvania. (Yes, we did experience
the smell of chocolate as we rolled into town!)
Day Five took us west of Hershey onto
Highway 15 through New York State—a beautiful highway to ride.
Day Six and our goal was met—Niagara
Falls! We spent the entire day and into the
night admiring both sides of the falls.
Absolutely beautiful!
Day Seven dawned, and it was time to
start our journey home. We traveled through
Pennsylvania,West Virginia and ended the day’s
ride in Hillsville, Virginia (just shy of the Blue
Ridge Parkway, which we traveled on Day
Eight and part of Day Nine).
Day Ten started in Tifton, Georgia, and
ended back home in our own driveway after a
l
safe and wonderful trip of 3,224 miles.

Rider
Education
and Motorist
Awareness Go
Together Well
By Dan Corby • GWRRA #103116
Colden, New York
hapter NY-H began its riding season this year with a bang. It does
not take long to understand this
Chapter’s dedication towards educated
and aware riding. It helps that the District
Educator and one of the Assistant District
Educators participate here. The Chapter
Educator also has a long history of riding
with safety in mind. Many of the Chapter
participants are safety-minded as well.
Almost half of the participants are certified
in first aid and CPR. Three of the participants are New York State-certified
Emergency Medical Technicians.
Even though Rider Education and MAD
(Motorist Awareness Division) share a
common goal (to save lives), we approach
it from somewhat different angles.
Motorist Awareness aims to garner the
attention of non-motorcyclists and to educate them as to what to expect from us.
Rider Education seeks to educate motorcyclists in motorcycle safety and how to
deal with motorists. What better way to
get the word out than to work together
on both at the same time? So with that in
mind, Chapter NY-H put together a knockout of a weekend aimed at both prospects.
The riding season in New York State
begins (hopefully in mid-April) once the
snow is gone and the salt has washed off
the roads. This year was an exceptionally
early year, and the events planned by the
Chapter tied in well with this. The roads
cleared, many motorcycles were out on
the roads early, and it was time to make
motorists aware.
Round One was the warm up for the
main event. On Thursday, April 20, several
participants and one motorcycle were featured on the Channel 7 News show “The
Weather Outside.” Appearing with weather forecaster Jennifer Stanonis, Assistant
District Rider Educator Rick Parson was
interviewed in regards to motorist awareness and making the public aware that the
motorcycles are out there. This was the
first punch to be had in a one, two, three
knockout round for the weekend.
Round Two was “The Voice That Needs
To Be Heard.” On Friday, April 21, the

three Rider Educators went to Lockport,
New York’s, radio station WJJL 1440 AM.
Talk show host Sal Poanessa was gracious
enough to give us a spot and a forum to get
the Motorist Awareness and Rider
Education message out. During the event,
several people called in to voice their
thoughts on motorcycle safety as well as
rider education. The broadcast went very
well, and the Educators were invited back
again for future broadcasts.
Round Three, on Saturday, April 22, was
held at The Boulevard Mall.The event was a
combination of a mall show and an educational event, since two bikes and one trailer
were on display, but the primary focus was
on Motorist Awareness and Rider
Education.
One of the primary displays was a
PowerPoint presentation that had safety
items and facts on it. There were several
short 10- to 20-second videos relating to
safety as well. The presentation took just
under 12 minutes. Many people, including
non-motorcyclists, stopped and watched
the entire program. As people stopped by
to look at the bikes, with their glistening
chrome displayed, it gave the Members of
Chapter NY-H the opportunity to talk to
them regarding Rider Education, if they
were riders, or Motorist Awareness, if they
were not.
At the main tables, were displays that
included Wing World magazine, Motorist
Awareness flyers, and all sorts of Rider
Education materials as well. Also on display
were many different types of proper riding
apparel, such as helmets, jackets, gloves and
reflective vests. Approximately 200 people
were reached by the end of the day. It was
a long day indeed, with several Chapter representatives there from 9 in the morning
until 9:30 that evening.
Round Four, and the final knockout
punch, came in the form of Rider Education
on Sunday,April 23. Several Chapter participants, along with Assistant International
Director Tony Van Schaick, met to perform
Medic First Aid and CPR training. By the
time the weekend came to a close, three
new instructors were fully certified and
seven participants had received their Medic
First Aid Provider training. What a way to
bring the weekend to a close!
Chapter H is a small Chapter that meets
at the Basket Factory in Gasport, New
York. Participants come from as far away as
50 miles, a total radius of almost 100 miles!
While it is not a large Chapter, its participants take pride in riding safely. If you ever
get the opportunity, visit us when you are
near or stop by our Web page (www.highwayhobos.com) and let us know what you
think.

are fortunate to have a unique
hometown where many events happen each year that draw millions of
people to Daytona Beach. We have
the Daytona 500, followed by Bike
Week, then Spring Break. We also
the Gateway T
to the World
have the Pepsi 400 in July and
Biketoberfest in October.
he Daytona 500 is always so big and
active that we haven’t been able to play
an active role in their festivities, but at
the Pepsi 400 race, we do a parade of flags
prior to the race. Last year 119 motorcycles
participated. We carried the American flag,
flags of the military services, US state flags, the
GWRRA flag, and our Chapter flag around
the track in front of the NASCAR fans. This
has now become a tradition. Many of our
neighboring Chapters are invited to participate with us.

Continued from page 46
During Bike Week, an estimated 600,000
bikers invade Daytona Beach. Our Chapter
operates a “Getaway Vendor Show” at the
New Smyrna Beach Airport. This is a 10-day
operation, with many vendors displaying
almost everything you could want for your
motorcycle, and then some!
We had many thoughts as we worked the
sign-in table, sold 50/50 or grand prize tickets,
parked bikes, and monitored the gate at the
Getaway. Some were humorous, some were of
the people passing by, and some were on how
long our shift was. One thing we all had in
common, though, was that we were doing it
for Chapter FL1-H and helping our friends.
I think many of us missed a golden opportunity, though. I never realized until after it was
all over what a chance we had to be ambassadors for GWRRA and to promote the principles we follow while riding. Some of us did
pass out membership applications and
GWRRA brochures, and the welcome table
was covered with literature. But we failed to
realize how far our comments and assistance
reached. While reviewing the sign-in books
and calculating just how many people were
there, I began noticing the variety of addresses. One-hundred-fifty GWRRA Chapters had
signed in! Many were from Florida; but many
were also from around the world. I began
September 2006
noticing the states.
While I imagined we would have most of
the states east of the Mississippi, I was startled
to find we had every state but four. Oregon,
Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii were the only
ones missing. It would be a shame if the missing four states were among those that did not
sign in! I am sure when they hear how much
fun we had, they’ll be here next year!
Along with all of the states that were represented, we had 18 foreign countries. Many of
the Canadian Provinces were also there. I
remember a couple from France. And no one
could forget the Italians who’d had their bikes
shipped over so they could enjoy riding to
Daytona! Who would have thought that folks
ride motorcycles in Iceland or that Austrians
would come to our Getaway! Other countrymen that made a showing were from Ireland,
England, Wales, Scotland, Sweden, Finland,
Norway, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Trinidad,
Netherlands, and Switzerland. In all, we had
4,732 signed in, with many others bypassing
the sign-in book or simply driving in to have
work done on their motorcycles. I’d estimate
that another 1,000 to 1,500 attended but
were not counted.
The vast majority was jovial and pleasant
when you talked to them. Many had interesting stories to tell. If you didn’t work at the
Getaway in any of the positions, you missed a
great opportunity to meet these people and
discuss our favorite subject: Gold Wings. I
know that I will approach next year with a different outlook on the Getaway. It’s not just an
opportunity to make money for our Chapter;
it’s an opportunity to rub elbows with fellow
Gold Wingers from all over the world and
from all walks of life. Some you will never see
again; others you may.
Many inquired about GWRRA and were
given literature. We will never know how
many may join GWRRA because of our
efforts. If only a few join and become better,
safer riders, we can ride taller knowing we are
both better off from the experience.
The Getaway was also operated last
October during Biketoberfest.The crowd was
smaller, but just as much fun.The main emphasis was on a bike show, with all proceeds going
to our favorite charity. We also had a sign-in
table there, but I didn’t analyze that sign-in
book. I will be sure to do so in the future.
Any of you who come to these events in
the future, be sure to stop by and say hello!
After all, you may just be the “missing statistic”
we need to complete our map. If your
Chapter has any similar activity, be sure to
check the sign-in books. It’s sure an eye-opening experience! Ride safe and spread the
GWRRA word!

It has been several months since I began making
“The Wing” into “Our Wing.” This process began after
I totaled our 1996 SEi by not doing a proper T-CLOCK
inspection. That necessitated my finding another,
slightly used Wing on the Internet, this time on eBay. I
asked the local GWRRA Chapter Director in the Miami
area to check it out and, after receiving a good report,
I bought a one-way ticket and drove the machine back
y wife’s first comment was, “It’s so
plain!” to which I replied, “I can fix
that!” Since we are both big Alabama
Crimson Tide fans, the “Bama Bike” project
began. Murals by renowned airbrush artist
Chris Cruz were the first order of business:
$2,000 later, I had laid the foundation for our
bike’s transformation to the ultimate Alabama
fan machine.
I had to remember the lady whom I love
M
dearly, so I took a brief hiatus from the project for a cruise and a surprise landscaping of
our backyard. She was ecstatic last year when,
after returning home from our cruise, she discovered I had given up my annual work bonus
so she could have a nicer place to rest during
the summer months here in Mobile.
So, early this year, she told me to go ahead
and light the motorcycle similar to the way we
had lit our ’96.The lighting of a motorcycle is

no less important then the addition of murals
or chrome and, for me, it meant only one
thing: NEON!
The current craze with LEDs is understandable—they are small, inexpensive per
unit, and give some great effects on bikes.They
are also easy to add as you go. But I have to
say that, for me, there is nothing like neon and,
in particular, Boogey Lights™ neon. The
Boogey Lights company that was started a
number of years ago by Rhyan Porter was
purchased several years ago by Scott &
Christine Maentz. Early on, they offered products to light Gold Wings and delight those
who saw them, but as the V-Twin market grew
and the cost of rallies soared, Scott &
Christine began to rethink their business and
began to seek dealers and installers for their
products.
In the small town of Seville, Florida, outside
of DeLand, Jay Styers and Randy Robinson
own a small aftermarket business called Shade
Tree Workshop that caters mainly to the Gold
Wing crowd. Jay’s love of the big bikes naturally has led him to become one of Boogey
Lights’ premier installers. I contacted Jessica,
Randy’s daughter, knowing that the installation
of neon takes time and that I did not want to
tie up my valuable rally time by having lights
installed. So I started making my arrangements
to have the lights installed in Shade Tree’s
Workshop home location in early January
instead of at a rally. Unfortunately, some things
came up to delay my trip, but eventually we set
a date of February 4, 2006.
The ride to Florida was interesting to say
the least! I managed to dodge a wreck on I295 south of Jacksonville, but not the threatening storm that followed. I drove into
DeLand for the night looking like a wet dog. I
had hoped the rain would be over when I
needed to leave the next morning, but it was
not to be. At least, though, it was not pouring
buckets as it had been the night before.
I made the 25-mile trip to Seville, and there
to greet me were Jessica and Jay. They drove
my bike into the shop and immediately got
started. Because the bike was soaked—and
water and electricity don’t mix well no matter
what the voltage—Jess dried the bike as best
she could. Jay then began stripping off the
bike’s ABS plastic skin so he could run the necessary wiring, mount the lights and transformers and, most importantly, the music interface
that really makes the neon rock. Jay takes
extreme care to mount the neon tubes solidly on bikes and heat shrinks all wiring connections with what he calls “gorilla heat shrink,”
an insulator that not only shrinks but also
seals, as with a glue.
About midway through the day, there was
enough neon in place to test the first circuits
and the music interface.The switches went on
and the effect was amazing! The Ring of Fire
actually looked like it’s namesake—the glow of
the red neon against the aluminum wheel and

white paint indeed looked like the Wing’s
front wheel area was on fire!
Next, Jay tested the music interface that
makes the neon “jump” by flashing off and on
in time with whatever impulses come through
the radio or tape player.Thanks to Jay’s expert
knowledge of the Boogey system, he separat-
ed the circuits into three distinct parts: The
red neon in the grille and side vents dances to
the treble notes while white neon strobes off
and on to the mid-range beat of the music.
For the final flair, the red at the rear of the
bike jumps to the heavy downbeat or bass
sounds of the music. Jay took his time and did
the job right as well as showing an apprentice
installer, Casey, how to make each connection.
Soon the sun was creeping lower in the
sky and, at about 3 p.m., Jay told Randy he was
finished.They closed the garage door, fired up
the neon and I was like a kid at Christmas
looking at a well-lit, beautiful tree. I could not
have been happier!
Jay told me he had to keep my trunk lid
spoiler so he could mount the red neon tube
under it—the silicone glue takes 24 hours to
cure properly. He and Randy told me they
would ship it to me when the glue had held
the light in place for the required amount of
time.
I left Shade Tree Workshop knowing that I
had made the right choice for me and knowing that the “wow-effect” of neon would be a
hit at our upcoming Mardi Gras season in
Mobile. Man, was I right! The neon glow from
our Bama Bike was a big hit with the crowd,
especially when the music interface was
switched on.
The people at Shade Tree are professional,
yet seem like family, perhaps because they are
GWRRA Members. I highly recommend a
stop by their shop if you ever need lighting for
your bike.They happen to be the only premier
installers of Boogey Lights east of the
Mississippi and are adept at installing on all
makes and models.
So if you want to light the night, go with
LEDs. But if you really want to rule the night,
then Boogey Lights are the right way to go.
And Shade Tree Workshop is the place to go
for their installation.

2095 US Highway 17, Seville, Florida. Phone them

or no wind certainly are uncommon. For some odd—but wonderful—reason, Labor Day 2005 was one of those days.

Every so often, we would
head for Mount Rushmore.

quick blip of the throttle on the Valkyrie, and
its straight pipes echoed as he passed
through. I knew nobody would hear my bike
if I did that, but they sure heard the horn.
The road itself is a series of pigtail curves
winding up over the Iron Mountain Pass. At
first, I thought Roger was losing something
off his bike. That is, until I realized it was his
foot pegs scraping the ground on the tight
curves. We passed though Keystone and
stopped for an ice cream cone with the
Presidents before taking off to Hill City,
South Dakota, for lunch.
With a hearty lunch in our stomachs, we
headed for Custer, South Dakota, via the
Needles Highway. The highway is appropriately named because of the “eye of the needle” you thread your vehicle through when
you reach the top of the peak. We made pit
stops for photos at Sylvan Lake and the Eye
of the Needle, pointed out some wildlife
along the way, and took a bathroom break at
Custer before heading west on Highway 16
to Newcastle,Wyoming.
We were pleased to find a convenience
store in Newcastle where the gas pumps
were “outdated” enough that they only read
$2.99 per gallon. I, in particular, was especially pleased when I saw that I had to buy less
gas than either Clark or Roger.
Clark and his Nomad had done an excellent job of leading us through the scenic
roads of South Dakota, but now it was time
to have him lead us south on US 85 to Lusk,
Wyoming. Traffic was unusually busy, and I
managed to get pinned behind a truck after
both Clark and Roger had passed it. Needless
to say, they were waiting outside a convenience store in Lusk, wondering if I had gotten
lost. They had already gassed up, so I told
them to head on south because I had plenty
of fuel to get me the 56 miles to Torrington.
Within an hour, I was waving goodbye to
my fellow riders as they continued back to
Nebraska. Thus ended a perfect windless fall
day—on Labor Day, no less. We had ridden
477 miles through some of the most beautiful countryside the United States has to offer.
Now we’re looking forward to doing it again
sometime soon.
Take my advice, if you ever get a chance to
ride through the South Dakota area—especially on a perfect windless fall day—you
won’t be sorry.

A. 1994 GL1500/Trike Shop Ultimate
Bill & Patti Peavey, GWRRA #130569, of Corpus Christi, Texas, had
this photo taken atop Mt. Scott, near Lawton, Oklahoma, while attending
the Texas District Rally. Their Trike Shop Ultimate conversion was done in
White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
They bought this Wing as a two-wheeler, then converted it as Bill’s
knees started getting weaker. The Peaveys are also members of Trike
Riders International (TRI).
B. 1991 GL1500 Interstate/InstaTrike
Here are “before” and “after” photos of the 1991 Gold Wing owned
by Bob & Bonnie Van Allen. GWRRA #180558, of
Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The “before” photo from last year
shows the unit as shipped. The “after” photo shows the unit
color-matched to their Cinnamon Beige Metallic Gold Wing
with add-on lights rather than just reflectors.
The Van Allens took a side cover from the bike to a paint
supplier, who computer-sampled the bike’s pigments. The
results “were a whole lot less expensive than Honda factory
colors,” says Bob, who also adds, “The Signal-Stat 548D red
tail lights are from Truck-Lite, a very nice company to do business with.”
C. 2002 GL1800/Champion
This is the 2002 Gold Wing
GL1800 with a Champion trike
kit owned by Dave & Sue
Perrin, GWRRA #105518, of
Contoocook, New Hampshire.
They are Chapter NH-A’s
Chapter Directors. Dave says,
“This is the Wing’s third season
as a trike and we are having a
ball with it!” The bike is
equipped with a homemade
first gear indicator and HAM radio antenna.
B
C
D. 2005 Honda Shadow Aero 750/Motor Trike
This is the 2005 Honda Shadow Aero 750/Motor Trike that is owned
by Sharon Dunn, GWRRA #139417, of Clearwater, Florida. Sharon was
a co-rider for 20 years. Her husband, Tracy, provided her some encouragement so, at 55, Sharon
decided to get her own wheels. Sharon says it is a
“black and silver beauty, and it’s just my size!”
D
E
E. 2003 GL1800/Trike Shop
Kenneth Nagle, GWRRA #170337, of
Beecher, Illinois, sent us this photo of his 2003
GL1800 with Trike Shop conversion and his 2006
Aspen camper. Ken was taking a break while on
a recent ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

1984 GL1200 Interstate
Glen Ishoy, GWRRA #229009, of Villa Rica,
Georgia, is pictured with his two sons, Blake
and Jason. Glen says his sons are excellent coriders, and his wife Betty enjoys a ride every
once in awhile.
Glen rescued this wineberry red GL1200
from a friend who had it garaged for a year.
Glen says, “All it took was a new battery and a
tune-up, and it has run like new ever since.
Everything on it works, even the radio and
tape player. I am continually impressed with its
smooth ride and flawless engine performance,
especially considering the bike is 22 years old.
I have really been spoiled by the amenities and
comfort of this older Wing.”

Ohio, bought this handsome candy brown GL1100
brand-new when he retired from the Cleveland Fire
Department.The bike now has 110,000 miles on it.
John has upgraded it with an Aspencade clock, AM/FM
radio and tape deck. He’s also added electronic cruise
control and upgraded the suspension components.
Two of John’s grandchildren look right at home on
John’s bike, and when they come to visit, he loves to
take them for rides. He writes, “When the time
comes when I cannot continue riding safely, I don’t
intend to sell the bike. I will keep putting polish and
rag miles on it, and reminisce about the pleasures this
great machine has given me.”

2002 GL1800
“This was the high point of our big trip
last August,” say Rick & Ann Pfeil, GWRRA
#172980, of Milwaukee,Wisconsin.They
started their trip at Honda Homecoming in
Ohio, then continued east and visited the
Gettysburg historical site.
They then moved on to the best part, a
three-day drive from top to bottom of
Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Rick says, “Words cannot describe the
beauty of this road! We capped off the
vacation with a day to tame The Dragon
and a day of shopping for Ann.The bike is
my baby, a 2002 Wing, with a Neosho
Jupiter cargo trailer.”

of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, pilots
this spotless candy red GL1800. She’s
headed to Nashville for her first
Wing Ding this summer. She says,
“Rhode Island Chapters A and B are
fortunate to have Lorraine Knight’s
guidance as District Director,” and
that when Lorraine’s husband Earl
steps in to help, “things just click!”

hen first we ride our Wing beyond one day
We find, miles past the county line, ourselves
And ghosts of those who’ve passed away
Like books or faded photos on our shelves.
Beyond the streets and lawns of life lived near
Are fields and barnyards, corn and feeding swine—
Here faithful few still toil on land held dear,
They keep alive a life by most left long behind.
And though the plains-bred wind still smells of life
And fertile rows on rows of green fan out like sheaves,
Our farms are winnowed thin like wheat beneath a knife
Forgotten fields and ranchland dries like autumn leaves.
So stand beside this cracked and empty pavement.
Take time to glimpse a nation’s past and count the payment. l
Rob McIntosh, GWRRA#223460, of Torrington, Wyoming, took this photo of himself and his Bright Metallic Blue 2005 Gold Wing on Highway 313 near
Chugwater, Wyoming. As he says, “This is where the world's new technology gets a chance to meet the old tried-and-true technology of days gone by.
In the background is an old windmill, the shell of an old Studebaker, and some obsolete harvesting equipment put out to pasture.
