5,000 Miles of Gold Wing Luxury

When you’re in your 20s, you’re searching for yourself. The quintessential “quarter-life crisis” hits, so you quit your job, buy a 650cc dual sport, and ramble on across the country, taking scenic routes and enjoying the views. 

You take weeks, even months, exploring every dirt road you find. The clichés are in fact true—“it’s the journey, not the destination” or something like “the journey is the destination.” 

But now you’re in your 30s and time is money. You’ve got places to go, people to see, things to do. You’re now a sophisticated traveler who demands it all, quickly and comfortably. 

And that’s why the Honda Gold Wing exists, to perhaps counter the clichés for when the destination surpasses the journey.

Now that I’m 31, I’m considering buying a new Gold Wing. I say “new” because I already own one.
