HELLO EVERYONE, I LIKE TO START BY DESCRIBING MYSELF A LITTLE. I THINK AFTER READING IT, YOU WILL AGREE IT WAS BENEFICIAL AND IT WILL HELP YOUR CONFIDENCE AND TRUST ABOUT THE CONDITION AND QUALITY OF THE MOTORCYCLE. I AM STARTING THIS WAY SINCE TRUST IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR WHEN IT COMES TO EBAY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS EVERYONE IS TRYING TO TAKE SOMEONE FOR SOMETHING TODAY. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN BEFORE AND I DO NOT LIKE IT. I AM SURE NONE OF YOU LIKE IT EITHER! I DO NOT WANT TO EARN MONEY DISHONESTLY. I WANT YOU TO BE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE WITH ME AND SEE MY INTEGRITY. THESE BIKES BRING GOOD, HARD EARNED MONEY, AND I DO NOT WANT ANYBODY TO BE MISLED ABOUT ANYTHING. I WORK WITH A FRIEND’S BUSINESS CALLED DJ’S CYCLES, SO I CAN SELL MORE THAN JUST A COUPLE OF MOTORCYCLES PER YEAR, AND I AM LEGALLY LICENSED TO SELL VEHICLES IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. I SOLD SOME EXCELLENT GL1500 GOLDWINGS LAST YEAR AND EACH BUYER WAS VERY HAPPY. UNLIKE MOST OTHER DEALERSHIPS ON EBAY, I DO NOT CHARGE ANY EXTRA HIDDEN FEES FOR PAPERWORK PROCESSING. MY FRIEND HAS BEEN A MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, SO HE IS EXCELLENT AT WORKING ON MOTORCYCLES AND IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE. HE GOT HIS DEALERSHIP LICENSE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO SELL SOMETHING IF THEY NEED TO. OTHER THAN THE MOTORCYCLES I SELL THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP , THERE ARE PROBABLY ONLY THREE OR FOUR OTHER VEHICLES SOLD PER YEAR. I EXPLAIN THIS BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A LARGE DEALERSHIP PUSHING BIKES, THAT ARE MADE TO LOOK PRETTY, IN AND OUT OF THE DOORS. I AM A DEGREED MECHANICAL ENGINEER WHO IS EXTREMELY FUSSY AND PERFECTIONISTIC. THE BIKES I SELL ARE NOT ONES BROUGHT TO ME BY LOCAL PEOPLE. I SPEND HOURS A DAY SEARCHING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FOR EXTREMELY NICE LOW MILEAGE BIKES THAT I COULD FEEL COMFORTABLE OWNING AND DRIVING. IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION AT ALL ABOUT THE CONDITION OF A BIKE, I WILL PASS AND LET SOMEONE ELSE BUY THEM. ALMOST ALL THE BIKES I BUY ARE FROM OLDER RETIRED FELLOWS, WHO TOOK FANTASTIC CARE OF THEIR BIKES, AND JUST CANNOT RIDE ANYMORE DUE TO HEALTH. BASICALLY, I USE THE SAME GUIDELINES ANY OF US WOULD USE TO FIND AN OUTSTANDING MOTORCYCLE. TO ADD TO YOUR CONFIDENCE, I USUALLY FLY OUT TO THE BIKE AND DRIVE IT HOME. THIS CAN SHOW YOU A LITTLE OF THE CONFIDENCE I HAVE IN THESE BIKES. BELIEVE ME, I DO NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED ANYWHERE. I SELL MOTORCYLES TO HELP SUPPORT MY WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN. THIS I ADD TO BEG PEOPLE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND ONLY BID IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY ON HAND OR YOU HAVE THE LOAN APPROVED (PRIOR TO THE END OF THE AUCTION) AND ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND PAY FOR THE MOTORCYCLE. TO LIST THESE BIKES, ON EBAY, COSTS A LOT OF MONEY, SO PLEASE BE HONEST AND OF INTEGRITY. IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR ZERO FEEDBACK OR LESS THAN 3 FEEDBACK, PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. THESE BIDDERS WILL BE BLOCKED IF I AM NOT CONTACTED FIRST. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW BIDDERS OUT THERE AND WE ALL HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING FEEDBACK, SO IT WORKS GREAT WHEN I TALK WITH THE NEW BIDDERS AND LEARN THEY ARE SERIOUS HONEST PEOPLE. I HAVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD PEOPLE WITH NO FEEDBACK WIN AUCTIONS, NOT PAY, AND COST ME THE ENTIRE TRANSACTION. WITH A FAMILY IT IS HARD TO MAKE ENDS MEET WHEN THE AUCTION DOES NOT GO SMOOTHLY. WHEN YOU EMAIL ME, I CAN GIVE YOU MY NUMBER OR YOU CAN GIVE ME YOURS AND I WILL CALL YOU. IT IS IMPORTANT WE TALK AND BUILD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST SO THERE ARE NO SURPRISES ON EITHER END. THIS IS ALSO A GOOD WAY FOR YOU TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ANSWERED. I CAN ALSO EMAIL ANY MORE PICTURES YOU MAY NEED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE. I HOPE THIS WAS NOT TOO LONG AND, MOST OF ALL, BENEFICIAL FOR YOU. IF IT HELPS, I CAN POSSIBLY DELIVER THIS BIKE. LASTLY, BUYERS DO COME ALONG, SO IF THE BIKE IS BOUGHT DURING THE TIME IT IS ON EBAY THEN I WOULD HAVE TO END THE AUCTION. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. FIRST OF ALL, WHAT A GREAT GOLDWING. BOY, THIS IS A CLEAN ONE OWNER BIKE. THIS IS AN EYE CATCHING RED 1996 ASPENCADE GOLDWING, WITH REVERSE, THAT WAS LOVED BY THE OWNER. THIS BEAUTIFUL MOTORCYCLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AT ONLY 43K. I COULD TELL BY TALKING WITH THE OWNER THAT THIS WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL BIKE. HE HAD REALLY TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE MOTORCYCLE. HE HAD ALWAYS KEPT IT IN HIS GARAGE. THE REASON HE SOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS AGE AND HE DID NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. THE BIKE IS FANTASTIC. IT HAS AROUND TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN EXTRAS AND CHROME. THE RED PAINT IS EXCELLENT AND SHINY. THE PAINT IS BEAUTIFUL AND I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THE FINISH IN THE PICTURES. I DO MY BEST TO TAKE EXCELLENT PICTURES. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF CHROME AND THIS REFLECTS SUN IN THE PICTURES, SO DO NOT THINK THE REFLECTIONS ARE BLEMISHES. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS. THE BIKE COMES STOCK WITH REVERSE AND ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE YOU CAN IMAGINE - AND MAYBE MORE. THERE IS A 12 VOLT POWER ADAPTER INSTALLED. THERE IS A RING OF FIRE INSTALLED ALONG WITH AN EXTRA SET OF FLOOD LIGHTS UP FRONT. ABOVE THE HEADLIGHT IS AN EAGLE THAT HAS TWO LIGHTS IN IT THAT COME ON WITH THE RING OF FIRE. WITH ALL THESE LIGHTS YOU CAN BE SEEN AND SEE ANYTHING COMING. A PULSATING REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS ADDED FOR EXTRA VISIBILITY AND SAFETY. WHEN YOU PUT ON THE BRAKES THE REAR LIGHTS FLASH GETTING EXTRA ATTENTION FROM OTHER CARS. ANOTHER ADD ON IS BACK UP LIGHTS. WHEN YOU PUT THE BIKE IN REVERSE, TWO WHITE LIGHTS IN THE BACK COME ON, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. THE REFLECTORS IN THE BAGS WERE REPLACED WITH LIGHTS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, SO AT NIGHT WITH ALL THESE ADDED LIGHTS AND THE FLOOD LIGHTS, IN THE FRONT, THIS BIKE IS UNBELIEVABLY VISIBLE. BESIDES BEING VISIBLE, AN AIR HORN WAS ADDED SO YOU CAN ALSO BE HEARD BY ANYONE. A NICE COMFORTABLE SET OF KURYAKYN CHROME ISO-GRIPS WERE ADDED. A FIRECREEK DUAL DIGITAL GAGE SYSTEM WAS ALSO ADDED. ONE GAGE TELLS THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND THE OTHER TELLS THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. A POWER BACK UP STAND WAS ADDED SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THE BIKE ON THE CENTER STAND IS TO PUSH THE STAND DOWN WITH YOUR FOOT AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND BACK UP. THE BIKE GOES RIGHT UP ON THE STAND WITHOUT YOU GETTING OFF OR HURTING YOUR BACK. YOU CAN ALSO PUT THE BIKE UP ON THE STAND MANUALLY IF YOU LIKE. THE SEAT IS PERFECT AND SHAVED A LITTLER NARROWER BECAUSE THE OWNER WAS SHORTER IN STATURE. I AM 6'1" AND I REALLY LIKE THE SEAT SINCE I CAN KEEP MY LEGS IN CLOSER TO THE TANK AND DON'T FEEL LIKE MY LEGS ARE BEING PUSHED APART WITH A STOCK WIDE SEAT. IT IS NICER THAN STOCK FOR EVEN THE TALLER DRIVERS. A VERY NICE ADD ON OF THE BIKE IS THE ADJUSTABLE DRIVER’S BACKREST WITH A POUCH ON THE BACK OF IT FOR THE PASSENGER. THE BACKREST IS VERY NICE FOR LOWER BACK SUPPORT ON LONG TRIPS. ANOTHER GREAT ADD ON IS THE PASSENGER ARMRESTS. THE ARMRESTS ARE GREAT FOR YOUR WIFE SO SHE CAN RELAX AND NOT HAVE TO HOLD HER ARMS UP ON HER LAP. THERE IS A CUP HOLDER ON THE FRONT HANDLEBAR AND THE REAR ARM RESTS. WIND WINGS WERE ADDED TO DIVERT COOL AIR TO YOU ON HOT DAYS AND TO KEEP COLD AIR FROM YOU ON CHILLY DAYS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BIKE HAS SOME VERY NICE AFTER MARKET CHROME ACCENTS. THESE REALLY MAKE A NICE CONTRAST WITH THE RED PAINT. THERE IS A CHROME TRUNK LUGGAGE RACK WHICH IS NICE FOR HOLDING EXTRA LUGGAGE ON LONG TRIPS. THERE IS A NICE COLOR MATCHED DASH PAD. THE BIKE HAS A TULSA WINDSHIELD WHICH IS GREAT FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER WIND PROTECTION. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FADING OF PAINT, WARPING OF DASH PLASTIC, AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PLASTIC IS PERFECTLY CLEAR. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A COLOR MATCHED REAR TRUNK SPOILER, WITH BRAKE LIGHT, ADDED. THE WHOLE BIKE LOOKS GREAT AND YOU ARE VERY VISIBLE AT NIGHT. THE INTERCOM ON GOLDWINGS ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE RADIO SOUND SYSTEM. THE INTERCOM, WHICH IS VOICE ACTIVATED, IS GREAT FOR THE DRIVER TO TALK BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PASSENGER, AND WHEN YOU STOP TALKING YOU AGAIN HEAR THE RADIO THROUGH YOUR HELMET SPEAKERS. WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON (LOCATED ON THE RADIO), YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE RADIO THROUGH THE SPEAKERS ON THE BIKE. ON THE GOLDWING, THE RADIO VOLUME LESSENS AS THE BIKE SLOWS DOWN. THIS IS NICE SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN DOWN THE RADIO WHEN YOU COME TO AN INTERSECTION. THE RADIO IS AN AM/FM CASSETTE. THE BIKE CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH A 40 CHANNEL CB. A VERY NICE AD ON IS A PASSENGER PUSH TO TALK BUTTON FOR THE CB. THIS WAY YOUR WIFE CAN GET IN ON THE CONVERSATION WITH YOUR FRIENDS ON ANOTHER BIKE. THE BIKE ALSO COMES WITH FULL FUNCTION CRUISE CONTROL. IT ALSO HAS AN ONBOARD AIR COMPRESSOR. WHEN YOU PUSH THE R. PRESSURE BUTTON, YOU CAN ADJUST THE BIKE'S RIDE QUALITY BY CHANGING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE REAR SUSPENSION. WITH THE OUTLET BUTTON PUSHED, YOU CAN USE THE AUXILLARY AIR HOSE, LOCATED IN THE RIGHT SADDLEBAG, TO PUMP UP TIRES OR THE FRONT AIR SUSPENSION. EXTREMELY NICE OPTION IF YOU SHOULD EVER GET A FLAT TIRE. ON A GOLDWING WHEN THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE FRONT BRAKE IS PARTIALLY ENGAGED, ALSO. IF YOU WANT ONLY FRONT BRAKES THEN YOU USE THE HANDLE BAR LEVER. THE BIKE WAS ALWAYS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND I HAVE A FOLDER WITH RECORDS ABOUT AN INCH THICK. HE WAS VERY METICULOUS. THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW DUNLOPS AND HAVE AROUND 500 MILES ON THEM. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU DRIVE, THESE TIRES GO FOR 15,000 MILES OR MORE. BRAKES PADS ARE VERY GOOD. THE BIKE IS BEAUTIFUL AND TRULY RUNS EXCELLENT. I THINK ANYONE WILL BE HAPPY WITH THIS BIKE. AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER YOU. IF YOU WANT THE BIKE FOR THE LONG WEEKEND I AM SURE WE CAN WORK OUT A DEAL. LASTLY, I CAN POSSIBLY DELIVER THIS BIKE IF IT WILL HELP OUT. HOPE YOU LIKE THE BIKE AND GOOD LUCK.
