I've been riding the desert canyons and hillsides for the past month and a half on my Naked Goldwing instead of my 08 FZ1. I've re-learned the ability to enjoy two wheels without laying the bike on it's side or grinding the pegs on the pavement. I've been a lover of two wheels since my first bike back in 1965 and it wasn't any go-fast ride either. It must be something like the joy pilots get from flying even though they're not in the cockpit of a fighter doing the speed of sound. It has even got me wondering if I could be just as happy with a more standard or even a small cruiser like the new Honda 750 Shadow. I guess I suffer (if you can call it that) from the been there, done that syndrome. It's somehow less interesting and fun to have to go fast or quick and do the pretend to play racer guy when I can get a big kick out of just flying down the road like a bird, in no particular hurry and no demands to test the machine carrying me to........nowhere. Got some more thinking to do before I get back to the FZ around the end of March. May have a first rate 08 FZ1 up for sale.
