Barry, I happened to be in Brooksville saturday and stopped to window shop at Barney's. The Goldwing looked good and reverse/abs would be great. But the 2000 Venture I ride has spoiled me. I love the room and comfort. Riding on air front and rear is cool too. But I found myself drooling over the Stratoliner I sat on. My 30 inch inseam found the Strat so much easier to balance, and sometimes I like to be in the wind. In my opinion we all need two bikes! I am looking forward to the new Indian Chief if I ever feel like bike payments again. Since my Bad Company cassette is stuck in the deck I just crank it up and ride on debt free. Good luck and take care, Iron Ranger.
