I'm a long time HD touring bike guy. Since the woke revolution hit HD, I'm here getting some great Goldwing content. I like you opinions, I think you are spot on. I'm a new subscriber. I might be a GW guy in the future... You have a very nice channel here. Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

[@paineys3341]

I WAS gong to buy a 24 Road Glide in the fall to replace my 2019 Road Glide Special, however now that will NOT be happening... I AM going to buy a new Gold Wing DCT Tour... the actual maths makes the GW a much more attractive bike with all the extras you get plus Honda reliability makes it perfect sense.... HD deserve all they get, I refuse to support a company that supports ops for trans kids and anti whiteness on employing employees.

[@johnandrobinmccoy8305]

@@paineys3341 I was so close to getting a 2024 street glide. I’m down to either a BMW R1250RT or a Wing. I have a R1250 GSA now, but I’m thinking a Wing is a better choice for me at this point. I just need to figure out which transmission to get in the Wing.

Dealers are independent businesses and are at the mercy of HD. It’s not their fault that HD is moving manufacturing overseas and pushing woke agendas.

[@jimbilda3784]

Please Harley guys - stay with your bike - don't need the Harley' culture' infecting Goldwing owners groups.

[@roadglide]

For starters I love my Bohn Armor! Kristin is one of those rare independent business owners that really “get’s it”. She is providing awesome customer care. Have a question? Call her. She typically 9 times out of 10 will pick up the phone. Thank you Bohn Armor! You should be riding ATGATT at all times. I’d like to see a nice color TFT touch screen and split screen option. All the elements you mentioned are on my wish list as well. Also agree with the changes on the 25 Wing will more than likely be small aesthetic elements. Regarding Harley. A few KZbin creators have also spoken about Harley taking more manufacturing to Taiwan. Talk about diluting the American brand, the loss of jobs and negative impact to a city. Wow! Milwaukee would be devastated. As to DEI and HD. I brought this up to you at Breakfast last week. This is all an exercise of the Great American Experiment. The flexing of true Democracy. It’s a no limits no boundaries push of our freedom and self expression and identification. An experiment being tested daily. The story being played out in our life time. Where it will settle is anyone’s guess. But this nation has been in civil conflict over the course of it’s young life as a country. If we stand as a nation. Trust, Historians will surely chronicle it for future generations to learn ans read. BTW. We won’t know anything about the new Gold Wing until somewhere between late Nov or Jan of 25. 😮 I know you guys will have so much fun on the Colorado trip. Robert is very knowledgeable about this beloved state. Being a virtuosic photographer will be showing you some awe inspiring locations. Looking forward to it all. Many safe miles of smiles. Love the show Cruise!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Thank you Road Glide!! As usual, thought out and well articulated views that I align with completely. I appreciate you and I wish you could have joined us in this trip. Your presence will be missed, your reasons are so respectful, and a reflection of your character, making me a bigger fan (if that’s possible). We will catch a trip at some point. God Bless, RG. Ride safe.

[@Pgonzo8798]

Thanks alot Cruiseman! Because of your new 2024 you inspired me to upgrade my 2018 GL1800B to a 2023 GL1800D DCT Ardent Red. Such a beautiful bike. I am a Grumpy Old Aircraft Mechanic and once I saw your bike, I said what the hell! You only live once and you can't take it with you. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@sandraf.9422]

It is sad to hear that seeking to invite women, minorities and other disenfranchised groups to the HD community offends white men. It is good business to expand ones customer base. So yes, it is an extreme rightwing sentiment to feel offending by HD's statement of inclusion. As a black woman, it is clear I am no longer welcomed to subscribe to this channel.

[@dennisberg570]

I'm on my fourth new Harley Davidson in 6 years , and I firmly believe the Harley CEO has got to go PERIOD !!!!! I may be ordering a new Goldwing Tour in 25 if the colors are any good . That DCT tranny matched up with that flat six gem of an engine is simply awesome .

[@JamesChasingSunrises]

Every year around this time you have to inform folk that no one knows yet what the next year's model is going to be.

[@carsyoungtimerfreak1149]

I'm far too old for woke. But... my children are not. And I believe that is why it is important to large corporations. If I'm lucky I can ride bikes for another 10 years or so (I'm 72). How many bikes will I buy in that time span? Not that many... If you are in your 30s, you have another 30 years of riding bikes at least. When you're in your 30s you will move to the years where you can afford a bit more, just like we were when we entered our 50s. And, if woke is part of your beliefs, you will choose a bike from a company that supports that... Do not get me wrong, I agree with you Cruiseman, but... I think I understand the Harley CEO. After all, our young people are the future, not old geezers like me... I'm from Europe and one of my bikes is a BMW GS. BMW has a number of scooters under their urban mobility banner, that are aimed at young people and are marketed in a way that resonates with young people... I appreciate that, I'm not in the target audience for those bikes. Times change...

[@cruisemansgarage]

So, we have given up? I find it hard to believe that all young people are racists.

[@carsyoungtimerfreak1149]

@@cruisemansgarage It has nothing to do with giving up. I understand people a few generations younger than me have different views and find different things important. It was like that between my parents and me. My views are not shared by my children and vice-versa. So what? Accept change and take a ride. Carpe Diem!

[@LUVMYVFR]

When I hear somebody call someone woke, to me, they are they racists. I'm a 47 year old white guy. I hate change, but to openly oppose someone a fair shake because they are not a certain race says a lot about you

Cruise man, this rant was not needed. You complain about the politics/issues than that about it. Moving on.

[@Msrverpilot]

Cruise man it was an excellent video, you hit on so many subjects I left HarleyDavidson as the BLM movement started. I traded my 2020 road glide for a gold wing tour DCT , I think you were spot on with every comment that you made. I still have one HD, but I don’t ride it very often. The DEI subject makes my blood boil and all this woke mess that we have gotten ourselves into. I’ll have made it very evident, I do not do business with woke companies, I still have family members that want to go to Disney, and as I tell them not one red penny of my earnings will ever go to Disney. I feel the same way about what Harley has done, I have put my Fatboy on the market. Now Harley going full woke. I’m afraid my fat boy is gonna lose more value, if it does, it does. I’m still trying very hard to get my gold to fit me. I’ll put the riser on the handlebars. I’m in the process of changing out the foot pigs to running boards, I sent my seat off to John in Texas made some difference plus I do have the F4 windshield another plus, all in all I am still a cruise Man subscriber and will remain thank you for your videos. Your chances of comments keep up the good work thanks again, Cruise man.

[@SteelWill7777]

I'm a 20 year Retired Army Tanker and a proud Gold Wing owner (2018). I don't care all that much for any other bikes. I ask myself though, should the political views of Harley Davidson's CEO really matter that much to its customers. If said customers are happy with the product being produced then what's the real problem? Unless managements views are extreme or company funds are going to Anti-American causes, why should anyone not buy the product? "Woke" may or may not be considered extreme and I certainly don't agree with the premise of wokeness but it's not enough to cause me to not buy a Harley If I want one.

[@jabilda]

It's hypocritical for you to call out Harley and not call out Honda. Personally, i can care less about woke/dei issues, but if you're going to be the dei police, you should apply the rules fairly. Otherwise, stick to fixing Goldwings, which is what your channel is about.

[@tcatnat70]

The Goldwing needs a completely new dash. Even Harley now has a modern 12" display or steal what you have from the Honda Pilot or Accord. Stop requiring a headset to use AA or CarPlay. Whatever can be done to cool down all the storage compartments, especially the hotbox up front. And the big wish which would require a complete redesign would be much, much, much easier access to the air filter.

I had the same problem with AT&T that you had with XM my mother passed away a couple yrs ago and i had to cancel her account with AT&T in order to settle her estate and can you believe it took me over 2 months just to cancel her account i was calling several times a week for over 2 months and they had me driving to several stores and told me i had to go to a corporate store first and then the store told me i had to call AT&T first and they didnt even know where their own damn corporate store was i was so damn mad it was like i wa re-living my mothers death every damn day for 2 months so i will never have or own anything that AT&T owns ever so your video of XM has reminded me of that so screw that i wont do XM either lol

[@1300BlueStar]

AT&T sounds about as bright as the credit card company my dad had an account with. After he passed I was trying to get a final accounting and cancel his card so I could pay anything owing and then close the account, their representative actually offered to send me another card for that account I was trying to close out?!! On the plus side when I asked to speak to his supervisor didn't argue just put me on hold. Supervisor very professional just asked for a death certificate emailed to her and she emailed everything I needed along with advice that served me well. Get a few notarized death certificates because you may need one where you thought you wouldn't.

Always enjoy C&C. Harley recently has recanted on Woke etc like other companies have done, after they realize the blow back from their customer base.

If HD is distancing themselves from these subjective policies as in April 2024 , then when did adapt the policies? I deal with this at work myself and it’s a cancer they can grown and take over inside out. Mind you multi culture, multi race is good. It’s sold as diversity. Ok, great… now three people looking over same fence, short , average and tall persons. The selling point of the equality is taller person price a step stool to the shorter person where we all can see over the same fence. Again sound ok on the surface. Now imagine your flying, you have an emergency, a bad one… do you want a pilot that got hired as a diversity hire or a merit base where they got hired based on their abilities. Now your life is counting on this pilots skill… you about to ditch an aircraft full of passengers in the ocean because it’s out of gas. This is a true story, everyone lived. Diversity hiring is a racist filter to make everyone appear equal it sounds good but ask yourself what pilot would you want in that case.

I like motorcycle content so certainly not going to unsubscribe. But I’m tempted.

Love your Crown and Comments Cruiseman. Appreciate all you do for the Gold Wing and motorcycle community.

Pretty bad here, sorry to say. Nothing relevant until 10 minutes in.

[@cruisemansgarage]

I am getting better. I usually don't achieve relevance for 12 minutes.

@@cruisemansgarage pretty funny. didn't mean it to sound the way it did. I understand you make a living. Shinny side up!

Hi Chris-Another Crown & Comments in the books and another winner! Have a nice trip to Green Bay, WI. I'll be on a trip that weekend, otherwise I would of been happy to ride up to "Titletown" to say hi. All the best.

I’m glad you are keeping your cool with some of the special people out there watching you tube. By special people I mean idiots. Your crown and comments show was right on point in every way.

Any follow ups on the BT Moto flash?

I really really liked your segment on the rant about Harley Davidson’s direction. The whole theme on the rant was so pointed and well put that it’s one of the best phrasing about this woke business I’ve heard and I’ve heard a lot.

[@freerider7064]

THANK YOU!!!

[@johngeorg9491]

ALWAYS love the rants, but this one was epic! Absolutely spot on!!!

[@thomasburns2138]

I’m riding my Harley, Goldwing and Victory. Not buying anything else from Harley. Stupid

[@allenchevalley5322]

You are very normal Cruiseman it’s the 2% of the population that’s screwed up!

[@lloyd7962]

Fantastic - as always.

[@hermanbrown4786]

I agree with you 100% regarding the Harley WOKE Davidson BS, I am a 2021 Goldwing owner and HD owner of a Road King. Never will I purchase a HD again, I will not take my HD for services or participate in any of their activities NEVER AGAIN !! Looking now to replace my HD with maybe the new 2025 BMW adventure touring. Last, F the HD COMPANY and God bless others.

[@cruisemansgarage]

@@hermanbrown4786 I think there a lot of Harley owners who feel the same way. It is sad, but Harley must suffer the consequences of their actions. Sad that the dealers must suffer too.

Preach it, brother… love your channel

[@stevewaters1605]

Totally agree on all points. Harley, XM spot on. Thanks.

'Woke" is a new word for me. Appreciate explanation and view point. Wow, that can be a touchy subject for a lot of people. Excellent show. Love to hear your rants! Looking forward to next show.

[@BigAlsautoupholstery]

Always enjoy your show

[@tom81773]

Hi Cruiseman. Rant on. You are not the only one who thinks like this!

[@JamesChasingSunrises]

I'm getting a kick out of all of these Harley riders jumping ship to a Japanese company named after "rice paddy" who also went woke many years ago implementing DEI into its hiring practices before it was even a thing. Kudos to you brainiacs 😂

[@johnanderson9735]

I think your view point is short sighted. I worked 36 years plus in a public agency and I saw over the years several people that were hired for key jobs that they did not have the talent for, they made several costly mistakes and even cost the city millions of dollars. The point is the ‘best’ people were passed over for those same jobs time after time because management was hiring friends and ‘club members’.

[@johngeorg9491]

Thanks!

I saw your video on the Chinese knock off and me personally, I would never ever even remotely think about buying anything Chinese I had a friend who bought a Chinese dirtbike and that thing was gutless. It was absolutely the worst bike. I’ve ever seen the metals. The foot pegs would be what was supposed to be hard and Steele was very weak and just very low quality nothing but junk I would never ever trust the Chinese.

[@boarsassbrewing2026]

Hi, I myself have a 2002 Fatboy that I’ve had since it was new and I I really liked the bike but this thing with Harley Davidson going woke has really ticked me off. I am now looking to go get a Goldwing probably not a new one but a fifth generation. Does Honda have a writing group or do you know of a writing group because I believe you said that you were somewhere in the Ohio area I am in the north east part of Ohio and I really would like a riding group that I could ride with.

[@fredmcculley9501]

❤😂 they will not be no 2025 goldwing Honda is giving it up they're not salad that's why Honda is not making a lot in production they're not selling

[@fredmcculley9501]

Because I can't even handle my motorcycle anymore I got a new 2024 Kawasaki 1700 a I'm losing strength I cannot handle that anymore so I got a possibility that I'm going to sell it I got that sold
