By the 1980's
By the 1980's
Honda was an established auto firm, with car and motorcyle assembly plants around the world. In 1981,
Gold Wing production moved from Japan to Ohio; the biggest market for the bike was in America, but it
was exported all over the world, including Japan. A new 1520cc, six-cylinder Gold Wing- the largest,
most complex
bike ever built in the U.S, was unveiled in 1988. The original Gold Wing was produced without
factory-fitted saddlebags or fairing. Many Gold Wings were modified for long distance touring by their
owners. prompting Honda to start equipping later models with these standard accessories.

OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD
It was brought up as a reminder by one of our members, that when the Road Captain points to an
Obstacle, whether it be a pot hole, water, or something in the road way that everyone down the line needs
to point it out also. This way no one will hit the item or cause any accidents. We had one of our riders last
year hit a sofa chair
that was on the freeway which caused him to break his foot. We would like to prevent this incident from
happening again.
