I have a new dream/goal.....

Let me just start out that this unfortunately will be a long term goal/dream before it comes to pass.

My wonderful and very wise wife told me awhile back (like two or three months ago) that I should get a bike like the Honda Goldwing or something that we can ride together and take trips on. At the time I was like sure baby sounds fun (whatever I ride sport bikes only, always have always will, dammit!).
Now here we are sometime later and I can not get that out of my head.... to the point I (over the last two or three weeks) have been reading about Honda Goldwing bikes online and doing "my research" that I do on most anything I am interested in. OK, so here is the nuts and bolts. I want (need) one of these bikes, I can forsee  my wife and myself riding the open rode taking trips to Michigan, Utah, Washington and Virginia as well as many other places on one of these fine riding machines.
From my research I have discovered that I want a 2004 model or newer, however the "basic" comfort package is plenty good although I will not turn away an upgrade to the NAV or ABS package if the deal is a good one. Also I will be wanting the 1500cc at least but would prefer the 1800cc model.

Although I think I like the black model best a lighter color might be the best option for visibility reasons.
So anyway now you know my goal, thy will be done!
