You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Did you know about the interchangeable part between those two bikes? Take a look at your rear differential.  :D

You mean where I sit?!?!
Shaft drive on the Wing, and Chain drive on the CB...?

So Brian...which one do you plan to ride the most? The Wing would be my guess...

The oil drain/add cap on the diff. is a SOHC tappet cover. I think.

Yes there the same.

I have a finned one on my 75 wing so I can just twist it off by hand to check the hub oil.

Cool! Ya learn something new everyday. Thanks Guys
John, I will probably be on the Wing a bit more this summer than the CB ;)
The cruise control is definitely easier on the right hand than the CB's throttle is..... :o

This thread just made me realize that I have lots of pictures of my 350 Four and of my GL1800 (2003) - but not together.  Some sunny day I'm going to have to get them together.

Nice seeing these others together!

I've been riding my Wing to work 32 miles one way. On Tuesday I rode the 750, man what a difference. I Love the 750 but for touring use you just can't beat the Wing. Now on the twisties...the 750 is da Bomb! 8)

You should bring your wing here and lets ride the twisties. Mine does great out here.

O I've scrapped metal on the Wing in turns, and it will handle the twisties. But it's much easier throwign the 750's weight than a big GL1500...just sayinn  ;D
