Steve Saunders Goldwing Page, Ireland's first Goldwing motorcycle related homepage, brings you lots of useful Goldwing & Valkyrie (F6C) places of interest. They include Goldwing discussion groups, Goldwing home pages, parts and accessory suppliers, Irish and other motorcycle web sites and more. It has to be said that the homepages tend to be a good read because they are maintained by enthusiasts who aren't trying to sell you anything and the better ones are updated often. Entries on this page won't be in alphabetical order , I just add the more recent ones to the top of the page, so make sure to check regularly for updates. If you have any interesting additions, please feel free to contact me, I will check them out and add them to this page.

Motorcycle Action Group, Ireland. I know, not a Goldwing subject in the strictest sense, but this one deserves a mention because MAG's activities concerns the rights of all Irish bikers. This dedicated group of men and women have been striving for better rights for bikers for some years now. They have been instrumental in helping to stave off some of the crazy anti - bike laws that came out of Brussels in the past and - very significantly, managed to get Carole Nash involved in the Irish motorcycle insurance scene, bringing some welcome competition to our market. Almost every biker over twenty - five years old has benefited from the new situation. The continued existence of MAG benefits everyone who rides motorcycles in Ireland and becoming a member is in your interest. MAG is also the home of Roadrunner Magazine, which has improved vastly in recent times and is alone worth MAG's subscription price. I have been a MAG member since 1994 and cannot endorse the group highly enough. Click the link to visit their web site and see for yourself, the touring directory and bikes for sale sections are excellent.
