I triked my 06 Goldwing in the spring of 2023 so I've had some time on it, including a long ride to Duluth. I never had a problem with wanting to counter steer or putting my foot down at a stop sign/light. It took a few hundred miles to get used to it for sure. I have friends who have Spyders and they are constantly in the shop for one thing or another, usually electrical in nature. That's probably the main reason I would stay away from one. You can't beat the reliability of a Honda Goldwing! And after 2 back surgeries this summer I'm glad I triked it out when I did. Nice video, I'll be out to ride those roads again next summer!

As a traffic engineer myself, chip seals are really only good for turning a dirt/mud road into a semi paved surface for about 40k/mile, asphalt costs about 300k/mile

the phone battery is not a big problem because you can charge your phone with the controller while you fly the drone.

Useful information on here for you drone pilots. I sold my DJI Mavic 3 drone a couple of months ago. Reason is the regulations to fly are getting too much. Where I live, there aren't really any interesting things to see within a reasonable distance for flying drones. I tell myself to get a smaller drone, but I know better that I won't fly it enough to be worth it. I do enjoy your drone footage. I'll fly vicariously.

So that is a mini 3 pro with RC you have, and you are sharing links/displaying Amazon pics the non-Pro, non RC version. Just to point out to any folks wondering why they are seeing it as MUCH more expensive. Like $1k vs ~$500. Helpful otherwise and thanks for posting

I appreciate your channel and videos you make. 20 years ago I would be watching some junk on network TV. Now with KZbin, there is almost infinite videos to watch. I will make playlists from your channel and let them play through 100%. I was out in the Black Hills over Memorial Weekend. I had a blast riding non Sturgis traffic. Entirely different, but a blast. It was kind of weird riding through Sturgis without thousands of motorcycles everywhere. Have a great and safe summer!

I think a good idea for a future video would be to go over your drone setup and share some of the information about flying drones that you have shared with me through emails. I believe folks would enjoy and benefit from this. Take care and ride safe.

From what I have learned, location makes the rally. The things I have heard about Daytona is the establishment does not support that rally. Sturgis supports their rally whole heartedly. I have been going to the rally for 32 years. It is a great place to be. For me I am in the hills for 15 days.

The Black hills and the tail of the dragon area have comparable technical roads. More Harley riders of varying skills at the Black hills, but surprisingly more skilled Harley riders are at the Black hills. If you have comparable skills to them, you will be surprised how well they can do on that thousand pound motorcycle. That being said anyone with the same type of skill on a thousand Gixxer is going to win every time. Some of these guys have seen more than 1 advanced track day.

If sturgis was exclusive for a brand it would be Indian not Harley I’ll never buy a Harley. I have a Honda Stateline that I love not a fan of the gold wings though it reminds me of a fancy scooter. But that’s just me I know a lot of people love them just not for me. I’d spend the money on a new Indian chief bobber sooo sexy

I have to totally agree with you. I have been riding GW for almost 30 years. When I got my first one I was looking to travel. You can not beet it. If you just do short day trips? Maybe not. I stopped at a dealership and the salesman was talking to a guy and he said happy wife happy life. I agree. If your passenger is not comfortable you will not have a good day. I was out riding with a friend and his wife and we were going to a friends cabin. I saw his wife was not comfortable riding his HD. It was a nice bike. I asked if she wanted to try mine. She loved it. But I also went and pulled over just before I got there and told her to get off and ride with her husband. I wanted him to save face with the guys. I also agree that the GW has the old person stigma. On long trips with friends I generally was the only one on GW. I did not care. I did not get cold like they did. I did not get wet like they did and my passenger generally was in a better mood. Good job on the pros and cons. My biggest pet peeve is having to take all the parts off to do the maintenance. But 250000 miles on 3 GW's and no issues. I am good. Maintenance is key. Take care.
