This is one of my favorite YouTube videos. Love the sounds of hardware scraping through the corners. They're so smooth, in contrast to these clowns.

Id love to see the look on someones face after getting passed by that duo.
I think it would be something like this " wha... wha.... was that a wing?

That is cool. A guy at work way back when had the original GL1000 (no luggage on that one). He would always be pushing that thing hard around sweeping corners but not as good as the video.

Definately one of my favorite videos as well. Had an 84 wing myself and was very suprised of how capable it was around corners. I certainly do miss that bike. However, the Ninjas would not be in the garage had I not sold it. Maybe someday when I get 25k to drop on a bike I will buy a new Goldwing.
P.S. Since we are on the subject http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSVg3Gg4LmA

Its very impressive to see guys ride wings like this (I know and ride with a fella who rides one like that) but wings aren't the best handling things and have limited cornering abilities which still means that as quick as these guys are, they're still in the way

One of our older police officers rides a full dress Wing. He is not only one of the smoothest riders I have ever seen (with the exception of Mike Hailwood) but all you hear is a low volume purr. He also has close to 100K on his clock, and this is his second Wing.
