I have enjoyed being a part of the CVO world and this site for a long, long time. I've owned 3 CVO's and numerous other Harley's and custom American V-Twins over the last 30 years. This lifestyle has partially become who I am and how I am perceived and I absolutely love the 2 wheel world, along with Rock n Roll and cool cars of coarse.
Recently I made a "lifestyle" change that has my family and friends wondering if my "cheese has done slipped off of my cracker"....When I first saw photos of the new Goldwing without a tour pack a few years ago I thought that it looked really cool, futuristic and powerful, BUT could no way see myself making this kind of a lifestyle change....until now!
After a LOT of thought, some think not so sane, I recently sold my almost 69,000 mile pride and joy 2018 CVO Road Glide with thou$and$ in upgrades, I purchased a 2021 Honda Goldwing DCT non Touring in Pearl Gray and Black last week in Az. and road it back home here just north of Seattle. Fantastic but very different machine and the route I took to get home was amazing. All in all a very positive and weird but satisfying experience. I'm good with my decision and I'm definitely not saying that I will never own another Harley or American V-Twin, but WOW what a change!

I want to thank all of those here on this site, starting with Neal for bringing this site to life and to all of the members for the plethora of information and all of the family like sharing and trust that this site has offered to me over the years.

Thanks everyone! Hopefully I'll see you on the road

Not that mine nor anyone else's opinion matters I've thought those were a very sharp looking bike.  Couple that with the effectively integrated and modernity of its various systems and its power and handling and its a winner.  Were I to have any inclination at all toward a new bike it would not be a Harley and strongly considered would be the new Wing.  Have fun .

Congrats man. Not a bad looking ride. I'm sure it'll give you miles of smiles as have your other bikes. Something about jumping on a new ride and not having to spend $$$$ on it to make it "feel/ride" right is very satisfying.

A cousin has an F6B and just loves it and it's been trouble free for almost 40k miles now.

I more than understand your new ride. I have had more Harleys than I can count and still own 4 (3CVOs and a 1987 FXRC). Love them all but in 2015 I bought a Honda F6B and love that too. Congratulations on your new bike. May it provide many Mike’s of joy. My F6B provides many miles of smiles.

You will love that bike.  Had you been able to make it to the Bend ride, I would have let you ride mine.  Yes, it is different from the Harley (I still love mine) but it is an excellent machine.  The smoothness, speed and comfort is incredible.

Enjoy.

You made a wise choice sir, I hope you enjoy it     Good looking ride.

You meet the nicest people on a Honda.

Congratulations on the new Ride.

Hey thanks for the continued support guys. Still wrapping my head around my decision but I'm definitely in the full speed ahead mindset. If I was able to keep my Harley I certainly would have but I was able to sell it and pay for the new bike in full including the trip to pick it up and state fees, so it all worked out well financially.

Onward and upward!

Yes, you have fallen victim to a bout of metric insanity!

You know that you're going to hear the neighbors screan door close when you ride by.

Yeah, but now you have to buy all that Honda gear.  Can't show up at Wing Ding wearing Harley attire.  Bad form.

Had a weird dream a long time ago where I learned that it was secret protocol that everyone at a Wing Ding had to go commando....
