Sold the Goldwing today. A mixture of relief and regret. I really wasn't riding much lately for a number reasons. I want to be extra safe on the bike so I make a point of wearing all the safety gear - helmet, pants, jacket, boots, gloves. Frankly, it's a pain to put all that crap on before going for a ride. Then you have to take it all off when you get where you're going and then repeat to come home. Then there's the aches and pains. My throttle hand really starts to hurt after a few minutes (I think I've got carpal tunnel from mouseing for so many years). Then my neck and back start to hurt after that. I really enjoy the first part of a ride but after a while it just starts to become less and less fun.
On the other hand, Deb and I really liked going for rides. Our favorite was out to the Vanilla Bean in CT for breakfast.
In the end, I couldn't justify making the payments and paying the insurance for what little use I got out of it. I hope I don't regret selling it.
