Nicked from another forum: Love the bike but the back of the seat unit is too small/minimal for such a big bike. (Nicked from here)

I dig it, I want it, is it for sale? The bike that is...that other item requires too much maintenance

I like the 30MM minigun exhaust. 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

For some reason I'm reminded of that series of articles in Hot Rod magazine or Popular Hot Rodding or whichever where they took a 70's land yacht with a 500 cubic inch big block and started cutting pieces off the car. Every time they took a couple hundred pounds off they ran it down the drag strip. In the end it was very fast but little more than a drivetrain, frame, seat and steering wheel.  Yeah, cut enough off it and it should be fast, real fast.

When I was a kid, my dad took me to a drag race in the earl 1950's. I remember these guys taking the complete body off a 1940 Ford and drag racing it. Of course with the separate frame it wasn't all that big a deal to do but it still looked funny-like this Clipped Wing...

What people forget is when the Goldwing came out in 1975, the only thing faster in the quarter mile was a Kawasaki Z1. At 650 pounds they still did mid 12's. 
I could definitely live with this one in my garage.

I think it's funny they did a 5 pipe exhaust on a 6 cylinder bike? Why not go for the 6 shooter? Looks out of place, like 5 spoke rims on a 4 lug car, or 6 on a 5, etc.

That's pretty cool. I saw this one at Butlers Orchard in '05. More of a chopper and not quite as polished...

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

I guess the original '75 GL1000 was in a sense a naked bike.

I don't like jap bikes in most cases but I like that stripped Gold Wing. I used to say the only rice I would ride was the Valkery but I would like to strip down and play with a Gold Wing now too I think.

Well, maybe it was the stripper heels "Mrs. Claus" had on...
