My wife & I were looking at tourers on eBay (she convinced me that tourers, not cruisers were the way to do distance riding - which is our ultimate goal). We looked at new Harleys (too expensive), and went to the local Honda dealer (G & C). We got a chance to take a close look at a new Gold Wing (as expensive as the Harley). We're newbies (I rode last about 25 years ago, and my wife has never ridden), so we inquired about classes. The dealer was happy to point out the nearest class offerings for us. Back to the present situation... We spied an '89 Gold Wing 1500 LTD for a great price, and I was very tempted. We were able to spot a couple of scam attempts that we looked into (and subsequently reported to eBay), so we were very wary of buying large ticket items online. There was only an hour left, so I set up my eBay sniping program (jBidWatcher - good but you have to work at it to make it work well) to my max bid amount. An hour and a half later, I found out that I'd won the bid! So, congratulations (or condolences) to me - I'm an owner of a new '89 Honda Gold Wing!!
