Congratulations on the new ride.  My wife and I started on a Goldwing when I turned 50, almost 20 years ago.  We purchased a white GL1500SE with 22k miles.  Your purchase experience reminded me of the almost giddiness we had after we made the purchase.  We sat in a cafe, eating lunch, wondering what we had just done.  We purchased ours in March, which is snow weather here in Ohio (USA).  We trailered it home from a private purchase because of the snow on the roads.  
We kept that bike for 17 years, put on another 115K miles, and loved it.  We traded up to a 2020 DCT and are still enjoying the ride.  
You will too.

20 years ago I rode into a dealership on a Yamaha R1 and rode out on a Honda GL1800. First few miles I was terrified that I had made a mistake, by the 5th mile I was in love with the bike. I’ve had a lot of motorcycles and the GoldWing is the best bike I’ve ever owned. Now I ride a 2000 Honda Valkyrie. The flat 6 motor is amazing. I can’t even imagine how awesome the newest models are.

Love  my WING, so quiet, only here the wind, live in Omaha Nebraska, USA, winter now waiting for another ride to mount RUSHMORE, nice ride to rest and relax, about 500 miles, enjoy your WING

Welcome to the club, you won't regret buying a goldwing they are absolutely brilliant, handle like you wouldn't believe, after we bought ours my initial thought was why didn't we buy one of these years ago 😎

Same thing happened to my wife and I.....She just loved the Goldwing and I have to admit its the best bike I've ever had!

Even my 95 1500 that i bought in 2020 and rode 3000 miles with 147000 miles on it was a beauty to ride.i was 69 when i bought mine.

It’s past 2 years till i leave the comment!… but I jealous you sweet couple ❤🎉

Thanks for posting myself love all bikes I am a Harley man but smart enough to know if Honda makes it you can't go wrong

Love your partnership with each other. It goes to show nothing is impossible together!😊

I did have a GL1000 for a while. Great fun.

Hello from Louisville, Kentucky;

Y'all have made a wonderful choice.

Just make sure all the fluids are right and proper and, you will have years of riding that motorcycle to come. I just put 75K on my 17' audio comfort.

Another tip! After you have washed your wing, use the garden vac with the blower nozzle to get rid of the water. I bought a Flymow garden vac, it blows at 225 mph. Apparently car dealers use them when washing their stock. Wife thought I had bought it for the garden! So wash the wing and swill away the suds, then use the blower nozzle.

Good morning and Greetings from California... welcome to the Goldwing and YouTube life. I have a few bikes as well, but the Goldwing is supreme for two up travel.

I was at Donnington years ago for a MOTO GP race...lots of fun.

You will love this machine.

what a nice couple, enjoy and stay safe .

Bought my 07 1800 four months ago. Had a GL1500 years ago and then went HD. Since I bought my 1800, haven't touched the HD. Like my HD but I LOVE my Wing! Ride safe and keep the rubber side down! You have a new subscriber!

Loving you guys journey!

You 2 are having so much fun on the GW.  It's adorable!  Thank you for sharing.

Happy for you guys! I also 6 weeks ago bought a goldwing for the wife, and I and still own my 19 GS. I know some don't like the new goldwing (I bought a 22 model) absolutely love it!!! 2000 miles and about 800 of it with the wife. Your bike looks awesome! And Im sure you and your wife will get many enjoyable miles out of it.

Congratulations on your Goldwing purchase!

What a lovely family, even the cat doesn't answer back.  Your new 'sickle is magnificent, albeit much too much technology for me - ABS etc., hence I opted for a Honda Valkyrie 'Interstate' which I'm very happy with albeit it is high chrome maintenance! But showing off costs (ha ha). If I had still lived down the road from you in Notts. then maybe I would have asked you to help me form an oldies cruisers' gang as clearly you are easy to get on with. But now I'm down in Devon. No bike is ever perfect. It's finding the closest to it for you, which possibly you have done. Got to be better than a Harley?  

Yes, it's a beast at slow speeds but you are doing magnificently well.  Paint and laquer is an issue with most marques these days , which I why I sold my Kawasaki GTR1400. I try to buy vehicles 20-25 years old so as to dodge paint, laquer and technology issues. But one has to carefully examine their mileage and maintenance histories. We live in a period of golden opportunity where power, reasonably easy maintenance,  and sound wheels / paintwork can still be reasonably easily sourced, but this period is limited. Once any bike hits 30 years old other issues often arise simply due to time effluxion.

Enjoy your new treasure and don't spoil Sarah too much!
