1978 Gold Wing GL 1000 – $2100

82,000 miles
Carbs have been rebuilt
New cables (clutch and accelerator)
Brake fluid flushed and changed
Corbin Seat (super plush)

If you are looking for a classic GL1000 – this is a great bike. I bought this from my brother-in-law last fall and have really enjoyed it. I have put about 2000 miles on the bike and it is incredible. One trip was about 1100 miles. I would trust this bike for any length of run.

The Samsonite luggage is included – I have epoxied all the cracks from the inside. (These are very prone to cracking) and the still look cool. Very vintage.

The mufflers have been replaced with the Sportster pipes – the originals were rusting away.

I have removed the large Vetter fairing and opted for the clean, no fairing look. I do have a windshield which can be added for a little more wind protection – if that is what you are looking for. (I do still have the Vvetter if you want it – too much for the look I was after.)

I have also modified the rear rack. I changed the rear lights and turn signals to aftermarket and then shortened the height of the rear rack. I lover the bagger look of the wings and this, in my opinion, really helps it out. You can see how low it is in the picture here.

We’ve been planning a family vacation for about 8 months. We finally told the kids tonight…the night we leave. They liked it. Look for photos of our trip along the way.

Halloween 2010 - Dade

We tried to get a swat team costume ordered by Halloween – but we had to settle for Army. He still looked good. You have to like the ‘stache.

Chirstmas in Clear Lake

Well, it wasn’t exactly on Chirstmas – but it was our celebration for Colleen’s family.

We enjoyed some wonderful sub-zero temperatures at a hotel on Clear Lake, in Clear Lake, Iowa. There were some gorgeous views – but the temps. Brrrrrrrrrr.

Good thing they had an indoor pool. Nash was being his silly self and hit the water at one point in his clothes.
