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

It’s not easy to find jackets, pants, vests, and chaps that say Honda. The best you can do is a T-shirt and ball cap. Maybe a hoodie. It’s almost as if Honda spends its energies on motorcycle design, engineering and build quality rather than on a clothing line.

But I could be wrong.

Well if you guys see someone at a Wingding wearing Harley gear...Come say hello!

Honda has discontinued the GWRRA and no more Wingdings.

You don't need WingDing.  ALL your riding friends are here.

Thanks Mark!

No you haven't lost your mind, you're just getting older and wiser or maybe bored with the brand. I've done it myself many times and came back. A bike is a bike and I'd still talk to anyone no matter what brand they're on. Life is short so enjoy the ride no matter what it is. I still love mine, but have lately been seriously contemplating trading mine for a new Pursuit ... just not so sure I want to get into debt again since mine is paid for.

To clarify my comment I was just being sarcastic.  I do have friends with Honda's, Ducati's and others.  And I do actually ride with them, at least until some of them take off and leave me in the dust.

[rayson56]

Your sarcasm is more than welcome Finster.
I still love the brand and the lifestyle, this decision had nothing to do with a lifestyle change. I can only afford 1 really good bike at a time since my recent retirement, so for now, no Harley in the stable but if I find a deal on an older Evo or something that trips my trigger AND is affordable, it would be hard to say no.

Thanks for all of the camaraderie fellas.

See ya down the road!

Kelly, glad you went with your heart.  The bike has nice lines. I like it.  No need to leave the site though.  Please give us a one or two month ride review and how you like it.  I'm sure that a lot of people would be interested.

Thanks, So far other than the fact that it's winter and actually snowing here right now I love this thing. It's all that I expected and more. The more i get used to the DCT (dual clutch 7 spd. automatic trans) the more I like it. I did have to change/upgrade the bars and seat w/riders backrest and add highway pegs to make the bike fit and handle better. I kinda miss the grunt and soul of the V-Twin but the 6 cyl. on these have plenty of tq. and hp.. The hill hold is kinda nice as well.

My friends will probably never stop teasing me with the "is that thing running yet?" or "since you have no use for those nice Harley duds what are you going to do with them?" hint, hint.

My amazing ride back from Goodyear Az. in October was almost 1500 miles of fantastic weather and beautiful back roads. I've put about another 1500 miles on it around here. I completed the first service and with the mods that I've done so far I really like this thing.

Thanks again guys!!

Merry Christmas!

Hopefully we can find ourselves meeting up somewhere in the halfway for lunch this spring.
Your new ride does look good, and you probably can find Honda patches to cover up HD logo's on the leathers but the shirts will need to be traded or used for painting your house. 

[rayson56]

Oh no Joel, I'm very proud of all of them and earned (bought) most of them in person and still where em all the time. I'm wearing an Oyster Run shirt today. lol

As far meeting up in the spring, I get over to Wenatchee a lot. I have 3 kids, a son in law and a grandson there. So yeah, once the pass finally dries up I'm in for sure.

Keep in touch!
