Hi Folks,
I bought a brand new black/red CX500 Shadow in 1980 and married a red/black 1979 CX500 owner in 1980 (we even went on our honeymoon on a CX500). I currently own a metallic blue 1980 CX500 Shadow and a metallic black 2006 NT700V Deauville.
I've been into collecting all things CX and GL for many years and now have a rather impressive collection of road test articles, brochures, workshop manuals and even some rare promotional photos and literature!!
In order to finance this hobby (and many eBay purchases) I work as a Unix systems administrator. I started dabbling in creating websites a couple of years ago (I'm currently the webmaster for the Australian GoldWing Association) and, as the person who originally established the MSN Group in July 2002, I thought I'd have a go at setting up a website for the Australian CX500 & CX650 Register.
Enjoy!!
Kathy

Explaining the appeal of CXs to other motorcyclists is like having to explain the appeal of motorcycling to non-motorcyclists:
if you have to explain it they won't understand anyway!!

Hi Taffy, Nah - it's a public site with no membership requirements/restrictions ( AGA). Must have us confused with one of the other GoldWing clubs!! Kathy |

Hi Kathy,
I am a late commer but I have also collected some CX bits and pieces and I was wondering if you have any of the articles from the English magazine "Motor Cycle Sport"? I have scanned about 100 pages of articles dating from Jan 1978 to May 1964 from this magazine. I also have the Setup Manual for CX400-500 Euro. I would like to send a copy of the material to you if they would add to your collection.

Hi Kathy. I am fairly new to this forum and I must say I am very impressed with it. I have never seen such a resourse for our kind of motorcycles. Keep up the good work.
