Honda Gold Wing description
This bike was donated to the Farmington, NM CMA (Christian Motorcyclist Association). All money from the sale will go to the “Run for the Son” ministries. Check the website at www.cmausa.org for details.
The good:
It is a 1976 Goldwing 1000cc. I’m thinking this is the second year of manufacture for Goldwings and there is no reserve. It has electric start or kick start. Engine is free and does turn over with the kick option but the kick lever is missing. Electric starter works fine when powered up. Exhaust, and chrome in pretty good to excellent shape as the bike has been stored indoors. Classic Vetter fairing is in good to very good condition. Clear title. Clutch lever operates fine.
The bad:
The gas tank has some damage as shown in photos. There are some dents in the frame tubing around the area where both side covers attach. Some cracks in the fiberglass tank covers and side covers. Pretty good buckle in the rear fender. There is a dent in the right fork tube top cover.
At least one carb is damaged. It has a float mount that is broken. It also has other pieces missing. Appears to be a missing part or parts in the carb linkage. Another carb that was inspected cleaned up just fine. The two other carbs have not been inspected.
The engine did run (roughly) on choke and primed carbs. All 4 Cylinders show 120 psi compression. Bottom line - an experienced person should be able to restore the bike to running condition with a different carb and rebuild kits.
The speedometer has been replaced but not tested. The original was broken and cracked. Rear turn signals need some work and the seat has some cracks. Not sure of the mileage as odometer was on broken gauge and replaced.
Ignition lock has been replaced as there was no key with the bike. It seems to work fine. Please contact me for any questions and I’ll do my best to answer or send more pictures. Bike is located in Farmington, NM and bidders are welcome to come check it out. Just send me a email through ebay and I’ll give you the address. |

And it's goodbye from him
Tue, 17 Aug 2010THIS IS Valentino Rossi's farewell letter to his Fiat Yamaha team following the announcement the flambouyant Italian is to head to Ducati MotoGP in 2011.The hand-written letter, mistakes and all, is written in almost a 'my first romance' kinda way. It's touching, if a little bizarre. Some of the letter reads:“Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'"Somehow, we can't see Casey Stoner gushing quite as freely when he leaves Ducati for Repsol Honda.
