I love to ride but I gave it up about 20 years ago to do boating. No my wife and I got another Gold Wing 3 years ago and spend as much time on it as we can. I had an Interstate before and got another one this the cause I like the ride and reliability. I like riding in groups as long as they are not too regimented or stopping for a break every hour. I like long rides and great country. I have rode the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive from end to end 4 times and loved it every time. It was best in June when the rhododendrons were in full bloom.
