The Search for the Right Bike

The search really began by looking at several smaller bikes. I started looking at Honda Shadows and that led me to some eBay auctions involving salvage title bikes. After some research and talking with some folks who have owned salvage bikes before I decided it was something to consider. The opportunity came where a 1996 Honda Gold Wing (my dream bike) came up for auction. The were a few others that had gone up before and they were taking in some money because they mostly just had scratches all over. I think most stayed away from the one I won because it was missing a fairing and the front fairing looked pretty bad. after looking closely at the picture and determining what was really damaged I bid on it and won! Below are the pictures used in the auction... I go to pick it up next weekend.
