True first year of the Goldwing 1975 - GL1000


TPBM never dropped a bike

 

[noogies]

False, unfortunately. First year I started riding I had a little Kawasaki KZ400 commuter bike and my buddy had a hotrodded Yamaha RD400. One night we swapped and, figuring that one 400 can't be THAT much different from another and failing to account for the Yammy's high center of gravity and firecracker throttle response, I boiled into a corner too fast and high-sided into the gravel. No serious damage to me or the bike, but it was pretty embarassing and I had to pitch in for a new pair of expansion chambers.

TPBM also has an embarassing story about cars or motorcycles and is not too shy to share.

 

[Dave_1962]

True One time when I was 17 (1979) I put my car (an automatic) in park at a stoplight so I could get something out of the back seat. When the light turned green I promptly put the car in gear and hit the gas. Only one thing wrong with this picture - I was in reverse - WHAM - right into a beautiful '72 Cutlass! The guy was cool though, no insurance claim was made and I forked over a new bumper and grille 2 days later. Buddy put them on himself and didn't ding me for labor.


TPBM's first car was his favorite

 

[noogies]

True! An Ember Red '64 Chevy Impala with a 409/400hp and a 4-speed. Felt like the front wheels were gonna come off when you stomped on it. I still have dreams about that car.

TPBM's most recent car was his (her) favorite.

 

[Dave_1962]

TPBM has been in a driving situation where he was sure he was going to die.

True


TPBM can't stand being a passenger in his own vehicle

 

[mulester7]

True--don't like that at all. Women are lead-footed creatures.

TPBM doesn't trust car salesmen.

 

[bobsvinyl]

TRUE! Short story... I was looking a used station wagon at as lot near my home. They had one but it was a piece of junk. Saleman takes my name and number to let me know if another comes in. Calls me a week later to come down. Another one ready for the boneyard. No thanks. Calls me again a few weeks later with still another flatliner. He calls me a third time and I tell him I'm not interested after seeing what he has had to offer. He says to me, "This one isn't junk like the other ones I showed you." I told him to think about what he just said and why that made sure I'll never buy a car from him.

TPBM generally has had good luck with used car purchases.

 

[Dave_1962]

True Back before I bought a new truck I had excellent luck buying cars for $400-$500 and drive 'em for years.
