This is a 1984 Honda Gold Wing Interstate I purchased from my boss close to 15 years ago. I have ridden it every year at least once a month for 9-10 months of the year. I have affectionately named her "Ol' Blue". She is reliable, comfortable, and needs little maintenance. The perfect lady!!! My boss was the second owner of this bike. He thought it was too big and ended up with a Harley Electra Glide.....go figure! I have maintained this motorcycle like an only child. Synthetic oil and filter every season or 3,000 miles with 1/2 quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer. The rear has been serviced every 2 years and the coolant has also been changed every 2 years. At 36,000 miles, the clutch master cylinder and brake master cylinder were flushed and re-filled. Last year she got a set of "All Balls" fork seals. This year she got 2 Pirelli Route 66 tires, a new AM/FM/USB/IPOD waterproof stereo. The factory speakers were replaced several years ago with a set of Pioneer Speakers. The bike has running lights and driving lights that work and the rear air shocks were replaced with new non-air shocks this spring. Rear brakes were replaced a few years ago and carbs were cleaned and adjusted in May. While Blue is not perfect, she is clean, shiny, and good looking. No major defects, just the usual surface rust in a few spots. There is a seam in the seat that is seperating but as of yet it does not absorb water during a bath or surprise shower. I have driven her to work this past spring, 50 miles round trip, and she performs flawlessly. She's never been laid down and she rests on a carpet in the garage when she is not ridden. I am 52 years old and recently retired and took a new job. My old job provided a take-home vehicle so Blue didn't see many commuting miles during those days. She has been on a few weekend trips, and mostly Sunday ice cream runs. I took a few day-trips with friends and Blue averaged between 1,000 & 3,000 miles per season while I have owned her, As stated, I am 52 and recently retired and as a treat, my wife has ok'd the purchase of a new motorcycle. I am looking at a used ST1300 and that is the reason I am parting with Ol' Blue. I fell in love with the ST 1300 10 years ago when I rode the Honda Police version. Since then, I've always wanted one of my own. Trust me, it wasn't an easy decision and has taken me about 2 years to finally pull the trigger. I've ridden Harley Davidsons, Kawasaki's, and several Hondas. This is the best, most dependable, comfortable of all the bikes I've owned or ridden. Buyer gets the factory cover, 2 new windshields, a spare radiator guard, factory waterproof saddlebag liners, a spare altimeter, factory air pressure gage, a Sirius Radio Connection, and Battery maintainer. Ol' Blue needs nothing except a loving home. If interested, I will provide the name and phone number of the shop where repairs and maintenance has been done. You can call and ask the mechanic about this bike. She is one of the cleanest '84 Gold Wings you will see anywhere! She will always hold a special place in my heart, kind of like the Lone Ranger and Silver!
