I'll match your question with a stupid answer. I wouldn't trust a quick-lube place for battery advice. Put a voltmeter on it and see what it's putting out. The comments I've seen on motorcycle batteries say that it should be at least 12.6 volts. I don't know that it would be any different for a car battery. If there's some doubt, take it to an AutoZone, O'Reilly's, etc. and have them test it.

Nah, that would be the Honda PC800 Pacific Coast. That bike makes the GL1800 look like a naked cruiser!

That does about sum it up. They are VERRRRRY similar! If my first gen dies and I can't find another one, the similarity would be the reason to go with the wing.

It's already been discussed and answered. Use the "search" feature!

For a while there, the doc had me doing that every 2 years. Kept finding stuff. Don't remember if they were called polyps or brain tumors. Think positive. I'm sure that it will all turn out fine in the end!

Dingy- If you read rhncue's post, the quote shows that he wasn't calling you out. He was saying that the original poster was wrong in saying that the condenser wasn't needed or useful. -
I've had two of the GoldWing 1100s, rode a buddy's 1200, had a 1500 and test drove the 1800. After having owned a few 1st Gens (88, 89 and now 86), I felt that the 1200 and 1500 had very cramped and upright seating positions. However the ride on the 1800 felt extremely similar to the Venture, in seating position and even in handling. It is an extreme improvement over the 1500, and to me was more "familiar" and comfortable than a 2nd Gen. Of course, that's just one man's opinion. Oops, better say two persons' opinions, since my wife liked it better too. If the day ever comes that I can't come up with a decent 1st Gen, I think it will be the GL1800 for me, unless something better comes out between now and then. C'mon Yamaha, where's that 3rd Gen. with its return to touring (rather than cruiser) style?

Yeah, my dad rode. When I got my first bike (a Suzuki 150) he was all PO'd. I found out later from an uncle that he had an Indian and used to raise all kinds of h*ll with it, going into towns and spraying gravel on cop cars and taking off. How he figured that I would end up doing the same with a rice-burner is beyond me.

To Eddie: Thanks! I appreciate the thought. To KenW: No thanks. I don't appreciate trying to turn Eddie's fine gesture into a political statement. Veterans served, and continue to serve, with a goal of doing their best no matter who's in charge.

Agreed. Keep it reasonable
