Back then it was bone s<strong>to</strong>ck. I(Deb) keep it showroom clean, and Scott does all themechanical work needed.The engine has never beenrebuilt nor has it been repainted! It still rides like newand receives a lot <strong>of</strong> attention from riders and non-ridersalike. Our first show was in 2002 and, since then, we havewon 10 Best <strong>of</strong> Shows, 5 Classic classes, 12 First PlaceMetric Touring, 4 2nd Place Metric Touring, 3 BestAntique, and 1 Grand Champion at the Texas State Rallyin 2007. It’s amazing the amount <strong>of</strong> people who think it’snew; we even have people who will see us at various rallies,poker runs, etc., and have written down the mileageand check the bike again <strong>to</strong> see if we really ride it.88 <strong>Wing</strong> <strong>World</strong>
2006 Gold <strong>Wing</strong>Last June, two Members (Donna & ChuckKeefer, GWRRA #272689) <strong>of</strong> Chapter FL1-T<strong>of</strong> Inverness, Florida, rode out <strong>to</strong> the WestCoast on their Gold <strong>Wing</strong>.Along the way,they s<strong>to</strong>pped in <strong>to</strong> volunteer their help at theHonda Hoot, then rode over <strong>to</strong> Seattle anddown through the Oregon Cascades beforegoing <strong>to</strong> the Big Redwoods in California.Theygot <strong>to</strong> see so much more by riding on their<strong>Wing</strong>, and they returned home in August—after logging on over 11,500 miles! It's a tripthat every Gold <strong>Wing</strong> rider should take.▲▲1997 Aspencade/2000 Mo<strong>to</strong>r TrikeMy name is Gary Hart (GWRRA#121604) and my wife is Maryann.We have a1997 Aspencade with a 2000 Mo<strong>to</strong>r Trikeconversion.This Army bear is in Boyer<strong>to</strong>wn,Pennsylvania, (in memory <strong>of</strong> soldiers killed inwar).We have all kinds <strong>of</strong> bears in <strong>to</strong>wn. Mytrike is called Tigger-Pooh Mo<strong>to</strong>r Trike, andwe travel around as much as we can.2004 GL1800Here is my (Jackie Cmunt, 24) Daddy’s“Pride and Joy” (Ray Cmunt,GWRRA#70088, <strong>of</strong> Macedonia, Ohio)in the Black Hills <strong>of</strong> South Dakota lastsummer. It’s a 2004 Titanium Gold<strong>Wing</strong>, and this baby got us our first“Iron Butt” patch. Riding a <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong>1,245 miles in less than twenty-fourhours, we started in our home<strong>to</strong>wn <strong>of</strong>Macedonia, Ohio, and continued on <strong>to</strong>Chicago, Illinois, Madison,Wisconsin,and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, beforeending in Wall, South Dakota.This wasour first trip <strong>to</strong> the Black Hills, and theonly piece <strong>of</strong> advice we can give <strong>to</strong> anyonewho wants <strong>to</strong> ride through theWest is that a mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle is the ONLYway <strong>to</strong> do it!▲August 2008 89
