What a life you must have. I'm sorry for you. Choose to be Better and you will Reach your Goal.

Button sticking is something we just deal with on Goldwings. Some plastic safe contact cleaner is a good choice, sometimes the button sticks, sometimes the switch is dirty or gummed up, but contact cleaner just makes it work most of the time.

[@treadhead]

ALWAYS AFTER WASHING MY " WING " I USE MY LEAF BLOWER TO RID SOME OF THE WATER ------ ESPECIALLY BLOWING OUT THE ** MANY SWITCHES . **** USE ONLY LUBRICANTS THAT ARE *** PLASTIC SAFE , SOME LUBRICANTS ARE NOT PLASTIC SAFE & CAN CAUSE DISCOLORATION ON PLASTIC COMPONENTS . A WING IS THE THING ------ RIDE ON ------- RIDE SAFE & HAVE FUN

[@kennethhudgens866]

I love fearless women who are ready to try anything once or thrice! My Army Veteran wife of 47 years just passed away in August and she loved riding at 4’8” tall. She would have enjoyed the Biker Babes get together. Good for you for riding the big bikes.

Respect dude, all the best.

Aw, so sorry to hear that! Thank you for watching and being positive encouragement!!!

[@kennethhudgens866]

@@BikerBabeBeth I have a brother in Florida who likes the wings. I have ridden them too and they are really quiet. We just bought a 2022 Harley Tri Glide Ultra in April 2022. We enjoyed it. Now that my wife is no longer here, I just ride by myself. You should try that bike out, especially on a windy day…no drift!

[@tennwingman3350]

I had a GL1500 for 13 yrs and I can tell you the best thing you can do for yourself on that thing is a windshield vent and mirror wind wings. So much better wind cooling and warmer in winter. The front end does have a tendency to wobble when no hands and slowing thru 35-45 mph. New head bearings (All Balls brand) and a fork brace seems to cure it. I am always avail if you have any questions, there is a reason I am called TennWingman. LOL A tip to keep from dropping that big girl, dont hit that front brake when the handlebars are turned. Down she will go. LOL One day you will have to ride my 2012 GL1800 "Bullit" It is a Goldwing with a more sporty attitude!

[@brockrohn360]

Can I send you a couple emails

[@davidmccall4776]

I owned a 1982 Honda Aspencade, and it was the most comfortable and reliable motorcycle I have ever owned, and I've owned a bunch! I always wanted a cream/white SEI, but age got the best of me. Be safe out there! Seeya!

[@agp7073]

I have a 2003 GoldWing, my second. My dad had 3 of them. I must say I’m completely impressed at how well you rode that bike. It’s a beast and not easy if you’re smaller in stature. You killed it!!!

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Thank you!! I have an unedited version of this video coming out this Sunday. It’s gonna show the struggle moments a bit more…. 😬😅

[@Henry.58]

As a Professional dad ,You could go across country forever on that Wing,Although it doesn't sound like my Ultra,It is most likely the most dependable bike made.I'll be riding from Daytona where I now live ,back home to Columbus in August. I think I'm going by way of the Natchez Trace on the way up.

[@BryanHastings-db4xr]

Trace is a great ride and peaceful watch out for huge deer smile

[@holymoly7644]

Wow Beth, great video. A biker since 1975, I was 17, it was the year the first GoldWing was introduced in the UK, I was totally smitten. Four years later in 1979 I bought my first GoldWing GL1000, felt like I was riding a horse, what a proud day. Earlier this year after almost 50 years a biker, and 45 years riding nothing but a GoldWing, from the first GL1000 to the latest GL1800, I decided to hang up my helmet. Watching your video bought back memories of when I bought my first GL1500, it was 18 months old though, and I was on tippy toes. Love and respect.

[@nwdomain-fj6yd]

Beth: I am buying a 1992 Honda Goldwing gl1500 interstate with only 53764 on Saturday. I am 71 years young.. Your video is great. Thank you. If you ever come to Washington State my friends and I would like to take a ride with you! If you don't mine riding with old guys

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Good luck!

[@richardadams6853]

I've had 3 Goldwings in 30 years. I think my current 2000 SE 1500 is the most comfortable tourer. If you spend a few hours doing cone work in a deserted parking lot it will greatly improve your slow maneuvering confidence! Turning around in an 18 foot wide space is the ultimate goal. Good luck, stay safe & ride on Beth !!

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Totally agree

[@roymctarsney5655]

All it takes is to ride a Gold Wing once and you’re hooked! There’s always room in your heart for more than one make and model of bike! You are a trooper, riding a Sportster 883 from Columbus, Ohio to Narrowsburg, New York and back again! That’s like trading a Nissan Sentra for a Lincoln Town car! Congratulations on the new ride and be safe. Get to a parking lot and practice your slow speed maneuvers. You will be amazed how well that beast handles. Great find!

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Well said!

[@dgildow]

Congratulations on the new ride. I feel you should name her Large Marge The Land Barge.

[@jfundora8583]

Great event. Love the video Beth. I always enjoy watching Babes Ride out and I'm a guy. Great entertainment for all the lady riders.

[@MrAmartin8]

If you are having problems finding neutral one of two things are going on . Your clutch hydrolics have air in the system and need to be bleed as in bleeding your brakes . Or your clutch has many miles on it and needs replacing . Try bleeding the clutch first ...

[@elipoppy173]

Thumbs up! Thanks for keeping the Goldwing on the road.. enjoy

[@donrozette2706]

Nice video. 1500 Wing is one of the most comfortable long distance choices. Practice the slow speed stuff to gain confidence. With the proper technique the bike can turn inside 18'. Stay safe!

[@johnoldani5290]

Be proud of yourself Beth for getting your GW, this old man been dreaming about it since 1980. Did get a Kawi Voyager xii a while back but it ain’t no GW. Have fun and be safe.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Loved the Goldwing. It is the Cadillac of motorcycles.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

It sure is!

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Loved seeing this. I totalled my ST1300 this summer, cuttting a long tour short (I only got a scratch) and decided to look for and found a '94 GL1500 to haul my tent trailer next summer. Nice to see what my view of the cockpit will look like. Winter here in Newfoundland so I won't get a chance for even a shakedown ride until the end of April. I think Babes Ride Out is an awesome event.

Great day ☀️ Your Goldwing would be great for highway cruising with that nice comfy seat & protective screen. Yep it's a beasty bike. Big Bertha is a good name. Cool bikes at the camp and on the mountain roads 😎. Great views of the river below from the lookout. Not good the fire on the highway. Scary stuff. Well done joining the Honda club.

[@user-kh9wu8oe3c]

Just a few tips to help you out a little bit more with a big bike. When you are parked on the hill turn your handlebar to the right and hold the brake and then lift it rolls easier off the side stand. Also with an older motorcycle it's easier to find neutral when you pop it in the neutral just before you stop. Just a few tips. 🙂

[@WildRider]

See this is what I like. Good people hanging out having a good time. Shanigans!

[@RollinwithJon2]

Since you're on a big bike now, I recommend this to you and everyone for that matter, take either a ride like a pro class or a lock and lean class. Awesome video, still trying to urge my girlfriend to go, I know she'd have a great time. 👏🏾

[@russwilson4]

You need a GW hat not a Harley, and you are quite a rider handling that GL1500. Not made for a smaller rider.

On my second Goldwing. Had a 05 model, 30th Anniversary, now have a 2018. The 18 is more sport oriented, (yes it used that word, if one has skill one can hustle pretty quickly on it) less weight, but way too many electronics. Like a new car, meaning more electronic stuff to go wrong. Still like it ok and it offers a better ride overall for my style of riding. A bit less carry capacity but again not an issue for me. Enjoy the big bike!

[@flashgordon2816]

For a second there in previous Gold Wing vid I thought you MIGHT have bought Gold Wing Doc's GL1500 that was up for sale a few weeks ago...same color with his exotic gadgets added & expert maintenance...Sticking switches seem to be a common issue with GWs...Keep spray can of plastic compatible electrical cleaner handy...>> Older Harley guy here (older = me & bikes in stable ...LOL!) but been considering a GL1500 or GL1800...MAYBE a Valkyre 1500 for no "tupperware" = easier access to components when they need repair/troubleshooting,etc.but trade off = like the idea of a reverse & better protection from the elements when riding conditions deteriorate...

[@sharonhirsch1173]

Great Video. I went to Babes for the first time this year and although I could only stay Saturday I still had a blast. Looking forward to next year. Ride Safe.

[@F6B_ADVENTURES]

The fun part is that even if it’s an older wing, it can stay up with the new ones no problem. We have people in our group with a 98 wing and some with 23 wings! They both ride great! Looks like you had a lot of fun

If not look at chancing the timing belts (as they are age out has to mileage that counts, then fluids. A little love and you get many a happy mile. Enjoy 🙂
