New Silverwing rider

I have had my 2008 Silverwing for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it. I have ridden Harley's for years and currently have a 2007 Super Glide. I commute 110 miles round trip to work and felt I was putting too many miles on the Harley too fast (17,000 miles in 18 months). Plus, although I have a windshield, the Super Glide has very little protection from the elements and it sat in the garage many days when it was threatening rain or just too cold to ride. I have the Givi Windshield on my Silverwing and road home from work Friday in short sleeves in complete comfort where as on the Super Glide I would have needed a jacket and gloves. I still love riding the Harley, but the Silverwing is my new lean, mean commuting machine.

Welcome to the site Robin and hope you enjoy it. I have rode many m/c's before my Silver Wing, including a Sportster 883, and I really enjoy the Silver Wing so much. Post a pic of you and your bike in the Album section when you get a chance. Welcome.

Welcome Robin~ I pick my bike up in about two weeks and can't wait to learn about it. It will be a change from my Helix. Everybody who has one sure loves them.

Welcome aboard Robin. Keep us posted on how like the new SW.

Welcome RobinC!

Great weather we've been having here. What area of NC are you from?

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Debbie, I am near Shelby, about 45 minute west of Charlotte. How about you? Where are you in NC?

I'm in Asheboro, about 30 miles south of Greensboro.

Isn't this quite serendipitous! I join this group to meet others who ride Silverwings and I meet someone from my hometown.

I was born in Asheboro and still have a few relatives there. My mother moved to Greensboro shortly after I was born but we visited my Grandma and my mother's sister and her family there over the span of many years. Alas, it has been about 5 years since I have been back.

Anyway...how cool is that?

Well, it looks like you have a riding partner(s) now. Take some pics when you ride together this year. That is pretty cool.

That is indeed quite a nice surprise! If y'all (that's how it's spelled) get a chance to ride together take photos and tell us about the ride.

Welcome to the site.
