Time to pick up my new GL1800 is near, a new modification on the showroom floor.

 Just had this done on my 2015 Gold Wing. I think the red really pops against the black wheels. It is reflective as well. Hope to pick her up in a few weeks when the salt is finally washed off the road. Getting pumped!

She looks great, Dave...but seriously, a few weeks???? I'm one state away and the salt isn't that bad. I'm been riding the B all winter. Today is about 67 degrees. Go get er.  ???

Work is also playing VERY heavily in that timeline.

Hey,how did they get them rim stripes on so straight?I've never seen them look so good.

[Jersey mike]

it looks really nice, reminds me of the '60's hot rods w/ redline tires.

Thanks Mike, that's what it reminded me of also.

Nice subtle touch haven't seen before.  Makes an ordinary tire look better for sure.

I'd be itching at the bit if down south a tad more, although was 70 degrees today but sounds like rain is suppose to be coming to get the crud off the roads as well. 

Won't be happening this weekend, but maybe the following weekend time to get the bikes out finally BEFORE April 1st.

Nice 

I don't know how you have been able to wait this long, if it was me, it would be driving me crazy and I probably would have figured out a way to get that bike home

Did you pick the color or did the dealer have samples to choose from?

I looked at the website for the tape, did you use the 3/8" tape?

Very sharp.  A friend with a 2010 Wing was looking for that exact thing last week.   Thanks.

Yes, I went with the 3/8". As far as the color goes I went with the reflective red and it was a pretty good match. It's far enough away from the painted bodywork to not be an issue with exact match.

I just love that color combo and what you have done to it.  I am about 1 1/2 hours south of you around Greenville, OH.  Salt on the roads here is sparse and only in the deep cracks.  However a lot of grit is in every corner of the country roads so I just take the corners slow and straight on.  Tonight into tomorrow and inch or more of rain is forecasted for us and all salt will be gone.  Sure hope you can take advantage of it as this warm up ( best we have had since 2012 ) is also fore casted well into the future.

PS.  The Honda dealer in Troy OH has two bikes like yours.  Gosh are they beautiful in person also.  If my wife road I would have one.  One is a trike.  Told a few of the gold wing guys in our club about them to hurry on in as they surely will not last long.  Best wishes for that new great ride.

That stripe looks great. Really pops with the paint job.
I went with a similar look on my VMax and never regretted it. It help up fine for the 3 years I owned it.


Looks like you'll be riding her in a matter of days now, enjoy your new ride!
