I have owned my motorcycle now for 18 years. Except for periods of surgery, or too many working hours I have put over 250,000 miles on my Goldwing Aspencade LE.

I had owned 18 motorcycles before this one. This one is the most comfortable one.

Being a tall woman, I thought it would be impossible to handle, but it's not. It all balances out on the two wheels. Yes, it is heavy, just a meer 1100#, but with good leg strength, anyone with a 32 " inseam can handle it. I shortened mine down to 29" to make it just a little more comfortable.

I love the bike, but I don't love the maintenance of the plastic. If damage does happen to the plastic, parts are very expensive to replace.

I have been riding for 47 years now, and this is the best bike I have ridden, and the longest I've kept one.

It has a CB radio, Quad sound cassette stereo, onboard air compressor, murals, marklin floorboards, heel/toe shifter, king/queen seat.

The only passenger I have ever ridden is my daughter.  I prefer not to take passengers.

Wow, 250k! How much did you have to replace? Heel/toe shifter - please no! K & Q seat - ugly but they work really well. GoldWings always seem so excessive to me but who can argue with 250K!
