The coffee pot plugs into the lighter. I've got one of those pots :).

It's a bucket list kind of thing. I'm twice retired -- once from the Navy and again as a tractor trailer driver, so I'm no stranger to long-distance travel. Still working at a desk job in the trucking industry. Although I've traveled this country hundreds of times, it was always like the words to the song -- "Got a long way to go and a short time to get there." Been to or thru every state in the lower 48. If you named a particular place, I could probly say "Yep, been there, done that." But if you asked me to describe my experiences in any of those places, I'd be likely to respond "Well, I spent four hours there once, backed up to the loading dock of a Walmart distribution center" or, "I was at the naval air station there for 6 weeks of training in nineteen aught such 'n such." And like that. So the current plan is a sort of "Smell The Roses" tour. Just wander about with no particular agenda, except to investigate whatever suits my fancy at a given moment. The annual Balloon Festival in New Mexico, for instance. Or even the World's Largest Ball of String in wherever that is -- I forget. And, most importantly, spend as much or as little time in each place as my attention span dictates. No rush, in other words. Much as I love my 750, it's not the tool for this job, hence the interest in a naked Goldwing. I don't much care for all the plastic on the rolling sofa models (Where's the remote for the coffee pot?!), which is why I'm checking out early ones. To answer your question, what am I finding: The gamut -- from a '76, needs carb work. $700. To a pristine '75, frame-up restoration. A steal at only $10K (!) Best web site so far seems to be at the randakks link I listed above. It is to naked Goldwings, what nighthawks.net is to Nighthawk Lovers. Stay tuned.
