My Dad had the first one of in Ireland. Same color too. When I see this motorcycle I see my now deceased Dad taking me to school on it. What a thrill and how cool I felt my Dad, 60 at the time, was! Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
I remember your dads bike and him.. hearing the indicator buzzer as he turned to port oriel in clogherhead and waving as us cyclists. I brought one back from australia had it years but it went missing during a divorce.
@@eamonncosgrove5324 Hi Eamonn. I was only 8 or 9 when we were in a Clogherhead. I live near Boston these past 32 years. Your name sounds familiar. I have only happy memories of Clogherhead and my father. I ride a Ducati Monster and recently, 2 of my sons bought motorcycles so the Comerford men will hopefully be riding for many years more! As for cycling, my father simply loved the sport.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Hello, yes of course the motorcycle is more stable in highways or roads, not in Heavy transit of a big City like Buenos Aires.
Luckily I still have my naked 1976 GL1000 in the dark Blue with 9000 miles on it. It still looks brand new from living out here in the desert and kept indoors. Cleaned the carbs and plan on riding in more this year as I'm now 71! Bought a new 76, 750 SS and my friend bought the GL. Once I rode his the 750 was gone and I had a new GL1000. Yours in gorgeous too! They are a bit cold blooded on cold start!
In college I had this exactly model and color. Great motorcycle. I don't care for the huge versions sold now but the stripped down one was a smooth wonderful machine.
Most young people do not know that the Gold Wing was the first modern sport-touring motorcycle. There were Gold Wing race bikes. A few raced in the B'ol D'Or. Look it up.
When I was 18 in 2007 I learned to ride on a 75 goldwing in that same color. It had a full windshield and the gl1100 touring luggage on it. Still runs and drives great on the occasional time it gets taken out.
I’ve got 1 just like that. Bought it in ‘90 for $400 . One of the first things that I did was to unhook that turn signal beeper. I haven’t ridden it for a few years, gotta get it back on the road again.
I remember when they came out price £1600, stayed at that price for two years then went up to £2000. I would have loved one but I bought a new RD 250 my first bike at £525. So out of my price range and I hadn't passed my test yet.

You are mistaken! 1975 was the first year it was offered. Next model year, 1976, they offered a 1 year only Gold Wing LTD special edition, which even had a leather tool bag!! All LTDs had an engine that dyno'd in the top 10% of all Gold Wing engines. Extremely rare to find one today.......
