Rick, I have a 76 that I've ridden for years and I just pulled a very low mileage 77 out of storage to put back on the road. Going to look for a sidecar for it. They're heavy old dinosaurs but they are a very sweet bike to ride. With a few suspension tweaks you can drag parts around corners all day long and on the highway they are dead smooth. I used to commute in from west of Ottawa on the 76. It would run in the outside lane with the 5:30am fast traffic at 120 to 160 km/hr without breaking a sweat. To my mind they're the only true Goldwings. The newer dressed ones do nothing for me. I'd never own a bike that looks like a kitchen appliance.
