Beautiful day so I just started to ride and ended up going down to the dealer. There were 2 wings in the parking lot and one on the floor and I was surprised to see them. First impression is they look nice and are smaller in design and in someways seem smaller than my 1800 Valk. You sit in a comfortable position fully upright and a little higher than my Valk. I did not get a chance to ride it but the engine is so quiet that you barley hear it. Its nicely laid out, but I'm not so sure its for me even though the big command console is gone and its much narrower below the handle bars. There are many buttons and controls not only on the center of the tank but also on the handle bars. The dash is good and easy to see and tells you quite a bit. I would have to ride one to see if I would like it though. Im pretty clean with my bike and the one thing I didn't like about it was the heads stick out to the side pretty far with no cover on them so water lays on the top of them. The heads do seem to stick out a bit since the whole bike is a bit more compact this is noticed pretty easily.   



Went by the 27 gas station to see if there was anything interesting and there were alot of bikes there.



This guy was on top of a telephone pole that I stopped near, he was just hanging out watching the people.

Those new Wings look sporty and fast. I’d say they handle great. Would love to try one .

I took a Gold Wing Tour DCT for a 20 mile Demo Ride today and they are "sporty" especially in the SPORT Mode.  Very impressive ride and handling.
