... that is the question.
My husband has been very, VERY interested in the new Goldwing, particularly the model without the trunk but with the DCT. On paper, it looks very much up his alley.
A Honda dealer relatively near us just got one in this week and uncrated it. So poor Mike is in biking agony right now: He really wants to go see this thing, but he's afraid he'll fall in love with it ... and it costs like $26,000!!
I'm very supportive of his interest in a different bike. He has ridden big Kawasakis (first a Nomad, and then a Vaquero) for around 10 years now. Change is sometimes just what you need to rekindle your interest in riding; God knows that worked for me when I switched from heavyweight cruisers to the CTX700.
Mike's been retired for 5 years. I thought he'd indulge himself and ride more once he stopped working, but in fact he is riding less. His all-time low came in 2017, when he only rolled on about 900 miles.
Pretty hard to justify that 26 grand on a new bike under such circumstances ... but what if it turns out he'd love the thing?? Can't put a price tag on excitement.
