Yeah, but not much to brag about. Holy Christmas, I'd turn back the clock if I could, but I have a lot to be thankful for, therefor I am.

​A big Amen to that

@#$%^&... Went to the dealer to to make a deal on what I wanted to be my new ride.

I was about 15 min too late. Another couple had already whisked it away.

Sooooo, onward in my quest. This can't be the end... Like I tell my wife, "If we were meant to have it, it would be sitting in our drive".

Kinna reminded me of what my old man would always say, [God rest his soul]...

And if the Dog hadn't stopped to take a pee, He would have caught the Cat..:xzqxz:

Yea, He was quite the Wordsmith....

Have ya come up with anything yet Jeb :Shrug:

Here is something to consider. The 2018 has a solid fork and eliminates flex experienced with the old telescopic forks.

Yessir I did... Yup! Yup! Got me a 2008 Gl18P Roadsmith with 55k on the clock. Should last me the rest of my days. Haven't got to ride much due to weather and other considerations though.

I can only dream

 

[CrystalPistol]

Thinking of upgrading from my '96 GL1500/Motor Trike to a 2002 GL1800/Champion

I'd keep the 1500.

 

[bikerbillone]

That would be my choice as well, but not my choice, do what your heart tells ya.

 

[Ol' Man Jeb]

My supervisor ((wife)) wasn't comfortable on the 1500, so we opted for a '08 GL18P Roadsmith which she likes much better.

I never had a problem with the Road Smith warranty, which, If I recall, is 2 years and a million miles, or some such. My aux pump motor failed, no problem, they took care of it. I'm guessing your post refers to the warranty period.

 

[Inventions2k]

Champion kits

I was refering to the Champion kits. The Independent kit for the GL1800 is a total screw up. No place to adjust camber, constantly excessive tire wear. It is not really an Independant suspension due to the solid anti roll bar fitted between the two hubs. It only makes it to act as a solid axle and by removing it, it rides very soft but then the shocks is under capable stabilizing the trike. So stay away from IRS for the Goldwing type.

Not sure I understand the comment, but that's OK, I don't need to.
