Wonderings:
A caf?® version of a GL1200 haunted the streets of Minneapolis in the past. The bike sported a bikini fairing, clip-ons, rearsets, caf?® solo seat and a special matt black exhaust if memory serves. Beyond that I remember it as a pristine brandy wine colored bike. I have not seen it for a very long time but it stuck in my memory.
In one of Peter Egan’s Leanings he recounted the story of a trip to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area to pick up a MG project car with some friends. On the return trip a stop was made in the Honda dealer at Frontenac, MN. Frontenac, a historic community along the Mississippi, is a bit bigger than Lilydale and can be found on highway 61 just south of Red Wing MN. This is where one of the crew purchased, for $500.00, one of two Honda GLs both hidden under a Windjammer and other things they found on the showroom floor. The article went on to tell that when the accessories were removed and with bit of work a good touring roadster.
Some time after the article appeared I found myself in the same dealership negotiating on a full dressed old GL. I stopped in this dealership at various times during trips along the river. Traffic at the dealership seemed to be up. It may or may not have been the other bike mentioned in Egan’s article. I suspected that it may not have been but another one to keep the customers for this newly created niche market happy. The price being asked was a bit in excess of $900.00 and we never came to an agreement on the price and someone else purchased the bike.
My plan for the bike was to make my own version of a GL caf?® bike. The chance was gone but the idea lingers on. When I posted the recent article from caf?® (racer) society about a GL caf?® bike the idea was rekindled. Now there is this in from Europe.

Small ‘arrangements” around Honda GL 1500 Turbo made in Greece
Jimmy Design & Painting is a Greek company which specializes in personalized paintings, X-Treme modification or A?®rographies. But what this means the X-Treme term concerning the modification??? Quite simply that Jimmy has a model of predilection concerning his operation of tuning, it is about Honda GL 1500 Goldwing (generation 89 preferably). It their assistant of the parts quite as unexpected as that of Yamaha R1, Suzuki GSXR or MV Agusta as well as many personal achievements in order to produce monsters of race and power.

I have some time this afternoon. If it doesn’t rain I may have to take a ride to Frontenac. I haven’t been to the Honda dealer there in some time.

BMW Sauber F1 Team - Monaco Grand Prix - Race, Sunday - 27.05.07
Weather: dry and sunny, 24-27??C Air, 33-35??C Track
Monte Carlo. In an exciting Monaco Grand Prix, the fifth round of the world championship, the BMW Sauber F1 Team scored points for the fifth consecutive time and strengthened its third place in the constructors' championship. Robert Kubica finished fifth and Nick Heidfeld sixth.
Robert Kubica: 5th
BMW Sauber F1.07-07/BMW P86/7
Fastest Lap: 1.16.006 min on lap 39 (3rd fastest overall)
"Unfortunately I don't think our one stop strategy was the right one for this year's Monaco. We expected Safety Car periods and these did not happen. Looking back now, I think we could have finished better, but I am happy to have scored some important points again. I had a small problem with the brakes soon after the start of the race and had to pump them all the time which did not make me feel confident. Then I was stuck in traffic and at the end I had a sensor problem which meant I was without traction control for quite a long time."
Nick Heidfeld: 6th
BMW Sauber F1.07-05/BMW P86/7
Fastest Lap: 1.17.041 min on lap 30 (12th fastest overall)
"Because of my one stop strategy the most important thing for me to do was overtake Mark Webber at the start, and this worked out. I was also able to get passed Nico Rosberg, although our cars touched in the first corner but luckily mine wasn't damaged. In the early laps of my first stint I had some problems with the soft tyres, but later they became better and better. On my second stint I lost quite a few seconds when I had to let the two McLarens by. It was enough to let Robert get just in front of me after his pit stop. But altogether I am quite happy with the result."
Mario Theissen (BMW Motorsport Director):
"McLaren Mercedes has achieved an impressive one-two here - congratulations to the team. Monaco was again an exciting race, although there wasn't much overtaking. The choice of strategy was crucial here - one or two stops was the question. Some had clear laps for most of the race while others got stuck in traffic and lost time. We are pleased we were reliable again, bringing both cars home and scoring seven important points."
Willy Rampf (Technical Director):
"We can be pleased with this result as we have seven championship points after a race which was thrilling for us. Nick had quite a heavy fuel load, and in the early stages of the race he lost too much time with the softer of the two tyre compounds. Only after the tyres had come back was he able to achieve the lap times we had expected. Robert started the race with even more fuel on board, but as early in the race he got stuck in traffic he couldn't exploit the car's potential. When he had a clear track his lap times dropped immediately."
Gem??tlichkeit is the warm, comfortable feeling
one receives from pleasant surroundings and atmosphere.
I think you will find that when you come here.
