Goldwing loyals defend all these flaws, and even refer to the parent company as Mother Honda.

Any wonder I hang out here mostly?
You have made my point for me, Brother Bill; thank you! Honda makes good products. They make good automobiles, good motorcycles, good generators, good lawn mowers, et cetera. I don't think Honda makes any bad products. However, if someone has the "Mother Honda" mentality, and believes all Honda products are perfect, then he is separated from reality. :roll: This is the type of person who feels it is necessary to badmouth the new BMW motorcycle, purely because it is not manufactured by "Mother Honda." :?
