Dude, my wife and i LOVE your content. Honestly one of a very few channels that I watch all of your videos. Love the pork chop express lol I want to name my bike but do t feel the need lol. I don't even know if its male or female, i respect its privacy lol. Btw watched your nieces video,i think it was her first, she did a great job, you are teaching her well. New sub for her. Anyways, keep up the strong work brother, stay safe, keep wheels on the ground and your feet on the pegs.

My wife and I used to take a couple of big motorcycle trips every summer. We live in Iowa. Went to Asheville for a big Honda rally one time. She rode her first 1500 Goldwing there in the mountains. After we got back, she bought her first 'wing, a 1997 Aspencade. Epic trip !

[@djh3_88hinskey5]

What a trooper she was. I was stationed in Oklahoma and had orders to a school in Charleston SC. A friend I worked with also had to go to same school. He was from Wa State and had never been east of Mississippi River. I asked he wanted to ride the scoot, he said sure. I had a Suzuki GS 1100 trimmed out with fairing etc. His eyes were as big a saucers at some of the sites. It is great to take someone on that experience. Loved the comment "save some panic for later" Some rain gear might have allowed her to be a little warmer and cut wind. For me everything looks better on the bike. Happy trails.

You & Jess make me appreciate the motorcycle community so much better, I have been riding 40 years, riding sport bikes in the quiet cocoon of full face helmet & leather. 2008 I discovered my 1st Harley Sportster handles like a sportbike, amazing torque, dual disc brakes rubber mounted engine, 1/2 helmet & focus on the enjoyment of the ride. Motorcycles are about joy 🤩 and the very reason you ride with all your senses wide full open, not just the machine and cocoon you inadvertently put yourself into. Thank you HTW, for bringing out the joy of riding sharing your true passion for our sport.

When I got my first bike the salesman told me one phrase that has always stood out in my mind, and around 13:45 you reminded me of it again Josh. "There are 2 types of riders in the world. Those who have fallen, and those who are going to fall. So why be afraid of the consequences?"

I found that I love how being on a motorcycle can completely change your experience even on roads that you travel frequently in a car. No better way to see America. Thanks.

[@jamesbthejoke5614]

This is what it’s about man, some days the urge to just ride comes on. We push it down, say not now, later... we make plans... Even if just once in your life you say “fuck it” and just... ride.

I just picked up (My first Goldwing ever) a pristine, kept indoor it's entire life, fully documented service schedule, 1985 Aspencade 1200 with 34K for $1,800. First week, the stereo went out and the fuel pump started leaking. I guess it's misses Dad and I'm gonna have to earn Her trust lol. But I love it. Compliments My Sportster perfectly. Best of both worlds.

Thanks for taking me along! Excellent. Nice to meet someone like me, who decides to do something, has it go wrong, but continues on despite that being the bad choice. I was caught in a (dying) cyclone on a motard. Soaking wet, shit roads, shit visibility and utterly inappropriate tires. Did I stop - of course not - that would’ve been the smart thing to do.

The speedo went out, the turn signal switch broke and at least one of the carbs went bad but she still ran like a champ and never leaked oil, gas, or coolant. My Lowrider on the other hand leaks primary fluid even after I had the gasket replaced.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. What a fantastic video. When you started talking about riding 600 miles in the rain and your experience I'm sorry I could not stop laughing. Only because I've been there that I could enjoy your experience so much. I rode 400 miles in the pouring rain from Milwaukee to Ohio on a naked 1983 goldwing with no rain gear just a leather jacket. I loved the entire video. Thank you. You will never forget that experience and will be telling that story to friends. From the emotion in your voice I could feel your adventure. This is why we ride !

I guess that after a million miles in a semi truck, I think a lot of mesentery for granted. I often dream of riding my bike over there. And in Florida too. I live in Idaho, There are a lot of really beautiful places over there. What's the best ride that I have ever taken was through the Redwood Forest in Northern California. And then Up the Oregon coastline. I know that it seems like it's on the other side of the world, Florida feels like that for me when it comes to my bike. but if you've never done that ride, put it on your bucket list.

I was on my own road trip, riding into Sally on my 2016 Indian Chieftain, from the Maryland/Virginia State line to Blairsville, GA so I could ride the Tail of the Dragon, you know, in a tropical storm. I had nothing but trouble with my cameras, so I got nothing from my Akaso (GoPro knockoff) and only 5 minutes of the Tail of the Dragon. Still, I said a lot of the same things you did along the way. I really needed that road trip and it was definitely the adventure I needed. I'll say it my way, which is close to yours: that trip was irresponsible and dangerous and ill-advised but there was one big reason to do it and that was reason enough, because IT WAS WORTH IT. I'm glad you made it back safe, and it's pretty cool knowing that we were on the same roads in the same storm. I look up to you a bit, so that means a lot to me.

I hope when I move down there I get to run into you at some point. I love riding in the mountains back home though. Getting to hear someones outside perspective on it makes me wish I hadn't grown up there and got to experience it. Not that I had a bad life there but I just feel like I don't get to enjoy it the same way you did. But man those views are gonna be something I miss.

Very nice video trip.I live in the mountains of VA, on the border of WVA, and I have taken my '81 Goldwing Interstate on all the roads here, from I-81 & I-77, & on all the backroads to visit friends and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a great handling machine anywhere I ride it. I have done complete rebuilds of the suspension, carbs, cables, brakes, and other wear & tear items to keep the original handling and performance. Just sold it last week to make more room for the next project bike, and I will definitely miss it until I get a replacement.
