I've worked in home healthcare for 20+ years and one of my patients was a Goldwing rider. He was in his mid-80s the last time we rode together (just a few months before he died) and he STILL rode like an absolute hellion! Zipping in and out of traffic with a cigar dangling out of his mouth he scared the bejesus out of me! ;-) RC had been not just a fighter pilot but the original leader of The Thunderbirds aerial acrobatics squadron and one hell of a decent dude. He would have absolutely loved this thing... and terrorized traffic with it! ;-) Cheers.

@@russellking9762 Look up the origins of the CAFE Racer. They don't have mag wheels and shaft drive. In high school I had a Yellow CB400 FOUR Super Sport CF.

[@Jodyrides]

I roadraced motorcycles in the 70s.. there was a gold wing entered in a five hour endurance race. I think it was a 1975 Goldwing.This was at Summit point Road race track in West Virginia. They have a 3500 foot straight away on the track. If your machine is ever going to reach TopSpeed it is definitely going to reach it there,, this Goldwing took the lead on the third lap and ran away with that race against Honda CB 750s, Kawasaki Z1900s. RDs, Kawasaki triples of all sizes, a couple Ducati’s, Just to name a few. I remember how silently it breezed down the front straightaway lap after lap.. it won the race overall with ease.. I remember the name of one of the racers, his name was Taylor, I forget his teammates name.. this was back when nobody knew with the gold one was supposed to be, before they invented the interstate with fairing and bags standard. we didn’t know if it was supposed to be a super bike, a sport bike, a standard, what was it? A friend of mine bought a 1975 Honda Gold wing. I had a 1977 Honda CB 750 F and I bought new. we ran them off on the interstate several times, and that gold wing just pulled away from my CB 750.. it was not a slouch back in the day.

[@regsparkes6507]

Nice job! ( bit of an understatement, I think ) One of the best looking 'Goldwing's" that I've seen. Must have been a lot of fun to build this up. Thanks for showing this TFLbike / Kase.

[@jasonhansen6632]

What a cool freakin bike. I love that he used a Goldwing, such understated brute force to move a cafe racer. That motor barely has to even try to get that thing to MOVE. I hate screamer engines in my middle age. A bike needs to add to the tranquility of a ride, not ruin it like sound of a blender going off when your sleeping in a hammock. Your dad has style, love the build.

[@jeepmanxj]

People shit on the goldwing as a rich man's bike or a old man's bike. Then there is yellow wolf. I don't know if he is still at deals gap. But that man would kick the dick off super bikes with his goldwing running that loop. As far as I know he still has the record for the most loops in a day and nobody's come close.

[@peterherrington3300]

Course you did . Built many have you ?

[@badbettygarage5923]

I need to weigh her, shaved about 150lbs off but that was for aesthetics which helps performance and she sits lower. Cornering is limited by steering angle and motor clearance.

[@nunyabidniz2868]

Pretty sad that he started with one of the rare '84 Roadsters [estimates are somewhere south of 5000 total produced for that single year variant.] Of course, if he'd started with one of the full dress models [Interstate or Aspencade] he'd have had to do more fabrication to replace the headlight nacelle, etc. that are all bits built into the fairing Honda evolved out of the aftermarket Windjammer fairing that they'd had to offer for the 1000 and 1100 models as a dealer-mod.
