I live in Boise, Idaho. A few years back I bought a '85 Goldwing Interstate 1200 w/71K miles on it that had sat in a garage for 2 years. 2 weeks later, after some minor preventative maintenance, I rode it to Portland, Oregon. Stayed a week for work. Then up to Mt. St. Helens before returning back to Boise. That bike purred like a kitten getting its back rubbed. I still have it. Great bike.

As someone who just bought a goldwing 2 weeks ago, in the short time I've had it, I can safely say, 95% of the remaining goldwings (88+) can make that trip regardless of mileage

my grandfather rode goldwings and was a member of the gold wing road riders association and i kinda spent my later childhood riding his 1800 and going to meets. he recently passed and in his later years was unable to ride and eventually had his bike converted to a trike but still unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy it much. hearing those wings again and those distinct honda shifts brought back a lot of good memories. thanks for the great video

I'm from one of those small towns like you see abandoned. 90% of the time the story behind those, is they are industry towns, where most of the population was employed by a major factory of some sort in that area. Those places close down for whatever reason and most of the population moves out. The south is a blue collar industry. My hometown died off like that because they built a bypass hwy around the main center of town and it relied a lot on travelers income. The main factory that employed most everyone ended up getting bought out by an outside company and in a matter of 5 years the town went from population 10,000 to about 900. You usually hear stories like that from the early 20th century but it still happens in this day and age. Especially in southern towns. My hometown for instance died off between 2006 and 2012. Even the school closed.

It goes to show you don’t need to buy a crazy expensive motorcycle to take a long road trip and enjoy yourself. As long as it’s been maintained. I did that same trip solo on my Honda 750 Super Sport back in 1976. No windshield, No credit card, no cell phone, no GPS, no camping gear. Just a sissy bar with extra clothes, a black leather jacket, leather boots, jeans and a $19 dollar K mart helmet. I avoided Georgia as much as possible going through South Carolina and on to Florida east coast then down to the Keys back to Illinois. About 3500 round trip.

Lol I was a mechanic for Honda, so I got my motorcycle at a discount too! I literally broke it out of the crate on my lunch hour, put it together and did the service. My boss asked me why I didn’t work that fast on his customers bikes…lol. Ended up quitting that summer for a better paying job. Worked that one long enough to save money for my motorcycle trip. I actually got the job back when I returned three months later and 27 pounds lighter! I saved my money for fuel and ran out of money for food. Came back with only $14 left in my pocket. I calculated my mileage and fuel cost for my return trip extremely close and slept in rest stops all night next to my Motorcycle. A nice lady felt sorry for me and gave me a paper plate with pork and beans in the morning before I left Jacksonville Florida”s rest stop. That paper plate of beans had to sustain me all the way back to Illinois. I still remember that nice lady to this day!

We under-budgeted our trip. With the grace of God and with the help of kind people we made it home. We were just teenagers back then 😆😆😆. I do remember one particular man that asked us if we were Christians which we were and still are (Catholics) and gave us a prayer and gifted us 20.00 dollars which allowed us to get enough gas to get home. Gas back then was .85/gal. It was an adventure that I will never forget. I miss those days in the 70s and 80s.

Goldwings are incredible, I have an electra glide now. It's a turd. It's just an antiquated design there is no getting around that fact. You can polish all you want It's still a turd. But goldwings are not without flaws. But hauling ass is not one of them . All the buttons fail to a degree. They always need maintenance. But overall bullet proof. Maybe a valkyrie next time. No plastic, all engine.

Missouri native here I live pretty close to Illinois and do know a little back story to those towns on the Illinois side, they used to be booming industrial towns that supplied barges. But as St. Louis got more popular and the industry’s moved through more populated towns. There wasn’t really any good paying jobs on the Illinois side. People either worked in missouri and lived in Illinois or found good paying jobs in Illinois which is not so common. Illinois has some pretty high taxes so people either moved to northern Illinois or surrounding states.

I have a Honda ST1300ABS and just broke 108,000 miles. Last time I took it in, I asked how many more miles I can expect to put on my bike. The mechanic, who also rides one, showed me a post from a man that just broke 300K on his, and counting. I’m not at all surprised these bikes still keep going, when Honda says they’re long haul bikes, they’re not kidding. It comes down to what WE are capable of anymore, all the big Mfgs make great long distance bikes, Honda just makes them where they can still do it 40 years later.

The crazy thing is I was in extremely high end goretex rain gear and still got soaked! It just shows how much rain we had had to ride through. The cameras didn’t do it any justice it was NUTS!!!

@Nate S I have used Frogg Toggs for many yrs. Reasonable price, great protection. Just get the ones made for motorcycling. They are called Road Toads and are more heavy duty and reflective piping.

I love this. I have often thought about buying a cheap wing and riding it a good distance, then selling it for nothing on the other side.

Great roadtrip, thanks... I noticed your fuel octane is 87... Here in The Netherlands the lowest octane rate is 95, then 98 en sometimes 100. But the fuel prices here are US 6.75 per gallon.

It's a different octane measurement we use RON +MON/2 instead of RON octane measurements, it's actually very comparable

And the US method is more accurate as it represents octane under load as well as the AKI.

The second you opened the trunk on the 1800 and I saw the Team Strange sticker, I knew that bike had been on rallies. Very possible it has been on one or more Iron Butt rallies, and the Ed's Last Resort (RIP Ed!) means it was on one of the Georgia 12 hour rallies. That bike has seen a LOT of highway miles in short amounts of time.

I know exactly where you were at I drive truck I've been to Dudley's corner more than once. 10 bucks there was another blizzard going on up in Minnesota. Seems like we just got absolutely hammered this year with snow. Awesome video though. I got to give it to you guys I don't have the heart to be riding around in the cold

So funny to have just come across this video. My parents recently found an old picture of me on my uncles red 02 or 03 goldwing. something like that. But looks just like yours but was red with gold accents. The family started joking that's where I got it from and why I love motorcycles so much lol

The only time I ever went thru Atlanta without traffic was in 1973 on a non stop run from Key West to CLE., Ohio in a 1972 Vega. We hit the city limits around 3AM if I recall.
