I just can't bring myself to like them, especially when the owners do stuff like this to them:

OMG, it'll be "bought a Piper Cub landing gear off e-bay and need to cut it down" and "anyone know where to mount a washing machine motor on an XBR" next  ;D

Impressive!....I got rid of my stablisers when I was 5!!    Went to a rally with the Cossack owners a few years back and there were several 1500 Goldwing outfits there( with the pretend 'reverse' gear) from the 'Fed'. We challenged them to a race, twice round the field in reverse!....they wouldn't play!!   ;D

Whilst driving down from Cheshire earlier this year I stopped for fuel and noticed a Goldwing with stabilisers and a trailer parked outside the motel next door.I would have taken a photo but I had no camera on me.It was a red one and with either a Dutch or Belguim reg

The mind boggles.

Saw a goldwing with sidecar and the tiniest caravan in the world stuck on its rear once.  :D

Had a friend who had an old style Goldwing - flat four sort - and could get it to hop two up with luggage - was cool to see and his wife thought it fun too - she was on the back - pulled a wheelie and then blipped the trottle - if you got the timing right the shaft torque would bounce the back wheel.

Often wondered why the zorsts were champhered like that and now we know.

Must be an evil handling thing, with that mishapen rear wheel?    ;D
