Default Daytona Trip

Rode the hurricane to Daytona for last 4 days of bike week. Left Pensacola on the morning of the 10th, rode about 7 hrs, with stops, and no trouble from the Cane. Had clocked 1300 miles by the time we got home on the 13th.
I had some concerns about the mileage (46250) on the bike but none were realized. Used 0 oil, even cruising at 80 for most of the trip.
These are really well made bikes.

I wouldn't have had any concerns, Honda made a GREAT bike.



You can send me the good ones to my email address.

Yeah! Where's the pics!!

These bikes are only just run in at 40K, the thing that kills them is neglect and lack of maintenance. Treat her well and she'll be good to you

I received some very troubling news from one of our biker brothers while in Daytona for bike week. I was informed that the "flashing" was halted about three years ago, a very sad state or affairs for the biking community. (well it was for me, anyway!) There for four days and not even a nip. Glad I met some great people or the ride would have been just "fun", rather than "great", lol
Am planning to go next year and try some new fishing/hunting spots, so to speak.

So how come your friends don't have facial hair and beer bellies like mine do?

And yes, I am talking about the female ones.

He's not actually my brother, we just have the same last name, and the same mother and father.

Hi John, have you seen this?. Honda Gold Wing 1975 for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

I am concerned for you, maybe you should see a doctor or even a good shrink as your mental wellbeing seems to be deteriorating at an accelerating pace. What with hairy faced fat belly chicks and now an attraction for said goldwing I fear for your sanity.
