Honda Gold Wing description

Up for auction is my 1975 Honda GL 1000 Goldwing with just 7,162 Miles!  I purchased this bike from the second owner in 2005.  The second owner purchased it in 1976 so he was effectively the first owner.  Upon purchasing the bike I replaced the fuel pump, tires and rebuilt the carbs with  Randakk carb rebuild kit.  I put less than one thousand miles on it and stored it away occasionally going into storage and starting and running it.  I kept Stab-il additive in the fuel at all times.  I recently sold my storage facility and am now selling my bikes and one of my automobiles. 

This is an unmolested survivor with very few miles.  Currently it is running but could use a good carb cleaning as it idles rough.  The bike pulls good running through the gears.  I suspect the idle circuit needs to be cleaned but frankly I haven't the time or inclination anymore to go through it.   The horn, lights and turn signals all work as they should including the slightly annoying turn indicator buzzer.  Cosmetically it is very clean except for a small half dollar size spot where the paint is rubbed off on the left side of the "tank" which is visible in one of the pictures.  The tool kit is in the bike and I have the original owners manual.  The exhaust is complete however there are some small holes in the underside.

You can certainly find a better running bike but nothing a good tune up shouldn't cure.  However will be hard to find one with fewer miles and all original condition.

The most beautiful race bike ever?

Thu, 06 Oct 2011

It was good to see my old HRC team mate Shinichi Itoh making his final Moto GP appearance last weekend at Motegi.  At 44 he was a bit off the pace compared to his younger team mates, but that didn't matter as it was a joy just to see him circulating on what I reckon is most stunning GP bike ever. And I gladly braved the pit lane walkabout chaos just to dribble and take a few snaps. Unfortunately he lost the front in one session trashing a complete set of body work but was back in action on race day to grab a few world championship points.

Sportbike VS Rat Bike Drag Race – Video

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

In a revision of the classic hustle of tempting someone with something shiny and new with the easy mark of something old and dumpy, this CBR1000 rider lines up against a 70 hp Harley rat bike in a back alley drag race. What makes this video so compelling is the Honda rider’s unfailing belief in the superiority of his higher-powered, more performance-oriented motorcycle. He lines up against the Harley rider not once, not twice, but three times – only to get his ass handed to him each time.

Capirossi Announces Retirement at Conclusion of 2011 Season

Thu, 01 Sep 2011

Loris Capirossi announced he will retire at the end of the 2011 MotoGP season, closing off a quarter century of racing including 22 years at the Grand Prix level and three World Championships. “It’s an important moment in my career, and the decision I made has come about after a lot of reflection,” says Capriossi. “I’m happy that after 25 years, of which 22 were in the world championship, I’m at a point where I can still have a smile on my lips as I part ways, even if it’s difficult to think that I won’t be riding a bike next year.” The announcement was made during a press conference at Misano for the upcoming San Marino Grand Prix, the final Italian stop of the 2011 season.
