   Speaking of Goldwings, when I first got mine I noticed on various   
   websites the spelling alternated between Goldwing, Gold Wing, and   
   GL1800.  Of course GL1800 is the official model of the motorcycle, and   
   mine is a 2002 GL1800A which denotes one with ABS.   
      
   I asked the guy who sold it to me whether it was a Goldwing or Gold   
   Wing and he told me Goldwing.  He referred me to the manual and the   
   trim pieces on the bike which say Goldwing.  I have seen the Honda   
   website which says Gold Wing, but frankly I think that was designed  or   
   edited by someone who doesn't know the history of the motorcycle.  I   
   don't really know, other than what the LCD display, manual and placard   
   on my bike say -- Goldwing.
