Honda GOLDWING GL1500 Owner's Manual page 4

WELCOME
The motorcycle presents you a challenge to master the
machine, a challenge to adventure. You ride through the wind,
linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your com-
mands as no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no
metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a pre-ride inspection
and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your
reward is freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully,
you should become thoroughly familiar with this owner's
manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer
knows your motorcycle best. If you have the required
mechanical "know-how" and tools, your dealer can supply
you with an official Honda Service Manual to help you perform
many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Hondal
