I was reading another string of posts and remembered my most embarrasing moment on a Gold Wing. After you read this, and if you can top it (or come near it) how about posting yours!
I went to Sturgis for the 1997 ralley on my 1994 Aspencade with 32,000 miles on it. Now you have to remember that this is DURING BIKE WEEK.
I'm riding with two friends just west of Rapid City on I-90 and my Wing craps out on me. We pull to the side of the road and begin to mull over the problem. About 6 months before, I had the same exact thing happen to me and it was a bad fuel pump. After going over everything, I send one of my buddies into Rapid City to the Honda Dealer to get me a new fuel pump or a tow if they don't have the pump.
For the next hour and a half, I had to endure what seemed like and had to be THOUSANDS OF HARLEYS going by pointing, blowing their horns, yelling about Jap Crap, and even a few stopping to see if they could help sweep the Jap machine off the road!
You'd be surprised how fast I changed out that fuel pump when my buddy got back with it!
After nearly 8 years, I still laugh about this one!
