Satisfaction

The throttle on my wing was feeling a little sluggish of late. I knew a little bit of cable lubrication would make it much better but the Clymer manual showed the process to be a tad painful so I managed to procrastinate till Friday night. I have a GWRRA chapter ride Saturday (today) and really wanted to have crisp throttle response, so I got down to work at 11:45pm. A little bit of fight to disconnect the return cable from the throttle and the rest seemed pretty easy except putting that darn cable back to its hole. All done by 12:20am. Throttle feels like a sportbike. Can’t wait to get up at 6am to ride. Now this is what I call satisfaction - getting done what itches me, against a bunch of odds.

    You are nuts! But then again I was just as nuts when I got my first Goldwing. And my 2nd, it slowed down with the 3rd, I took my time with the 4th, I was a bit enthusiastic with my current one and your excitment has boosted me back to wanting to enjoy the fun of riding/working on the Wing.

    Thanks
