   Just a minor discrepancy…   
      
   It’s actually a Honda Goldwing, not Gold Wing. I know you will find both   
   written versions on the internet and even at the website, but the logo,   
   manual, and electronic screen all print it as Goldwing. The same holds true   
   for the Honda Silverwing.   
      
   My mother who is from Germany, gets upset when people refer to the BMW as a   
   Beemer or Bimmer and considers that disrespectful. I tried to tell her   
   Americans shorten words because we’re lazy. Remember International House Of   
   Pancakes (IHOP) and Dairy Queen (DQ) ? I’m sure you can think of many other   
   companies that have given in to slang expressions.
