Honda Motorcycle and Trike Service Question

[brianl]

I tried looking up Weymouth Honda and the only thing that came up was a car dealership. I think the bike shop is out of business. I traded in my 97 wing for a 2017 because the local dealer refused to work on it. Found a one man shop who I like but I don't think he knows much about trikes. If I need trike work I can go to Naults in New Hampshire. Not sure what I'll buy if I ever move on from this as my wife and I weren't crazy about the 2018+ No offense, just a personal preference.

I have at least 3 customers, who have 6th gen trikes, and they kept their 5th gen trikes intending to sell them. However, they never sold their 5th gen trikes. This is what they found. That a 5th gen Wing is more comfortable for touring. It's roomier and carries more. Thus they hung on to their older trikes for long distance travel, and use the 6th gen Wing as a lunch runner, or for solo tourer.

You're a good man, sir, my wife and I still appreciate, you taken time out of your busy schedule, to stop ,and talk with us a few years ago while we were on a vacation in Fla. a few years ago..........
and when you speak, I always take the time to listen, and of course learn!!!

Got my first Goldwing around 1994 it was a 1979 GL1000 , rode that thing until 2006 when I upgraded to my 1995 GL1500 that I still have. Just bought my 1994 Gl1500 trike. I have always done all my own service including head gaskets on the 1000. but I started out working on cars at my dads station when I was a kid and have always been mechanically inclined.

I have always dealt with the Honda dealers not wanting to service my bike. my buddy had a 1500 he bought from the dealer new and had it serviced every year for everything it ever needed , always bought his tires and everything there, and at 10 years they wouldn't even do an oil change for him anymore.
servicing my ride gives me something to do in the winter LOL

I'm a pretty good "shade tree" mechanic............I do 75% of my own repairs......... I do know when a problem is out of my pay scale, though, So I have to send her away for a big service problem...
