Well I sold The ST and now the Proud Owner of a Goldwing
« on: October 19, 2015, 08:14:02 PM »
Well after my scare with cancer last year, I thought, "Bugger it you only get one go round" so I traded the ST in on a 2014 Goldwing. I loved the ST but the Goldwing brings another dimension to long distance riding.

Nice! After my accident the idea of airbags on the bike are appealing.

Yeah I know it is not a ST but I've looked at the Goldwing forums and they are no where as good as the OzSTOC crowd so if I am allowed, I'll stay a member.

You need to squeeze the Honda Shop harder for a good price on their demo, fly over and ride it home.

They're standing very firm on their price, there's also a 2014 model demo in SA no photos but i think its a red which isn't a problem for $29,990

A nice low k's (11,000) white one with a trailer popped up but was gone within a couple of days, but i keep looking.

I have a Goldwing and an ST. Both are great bikes for touring with the Wing being more comfortable as a two up tourer
Cheers Rex
