When I bought the former bike (Honda VTX), I became aware of two absolute things pretty quickly;

• It was fun, but not comfortable on long trips (for me).
• It was not what I wanted in the end.

Enter the 2008 Honda Goldwing touring bike. Easily capable of 300-mile Saturday tours, and you can even carry your lunch or pack some clothes to go camping.

I hate saying never, but after a few long weekends, I can’t see ever riding any other type bike.
