2018 Honda Gold wing, shooting the breeze.

[@cosicave5179]

After a quick glance at how long this video would take to watch, I'm happy to report I watched the whole thing right through, as if riding pillion. What a fabulous machine. Honda have led the world in practical motorcycling, pretty much from when they began producing the humble "Honda 50" (some may know it as the "Cub"); the company has rarely dropped the ball - and the Gold Wing has remained aloof, all the way back to its inception. What a bike…

[@HolyBibleOpen]

Thank you for your reply.

[@williamwooding7421]

I bought my first Gold Wing in 1976. Bought a Vetter frame mounted fairing and 3 piece Samsonite hard bags with the wing mounting hardware. Installed a Hella headlight and driving lights. Loaded the bike up with the wife and all our camping gear and toured for two weeks exploring the western states and Canada, That was the best motorcycle we vacation ever had, No need for stage 1-4 mods. No worries aftermarket parts are on the way,

[@HolyBibleOpen]

Awesome. Going on a run with my wife on our Goldwing this weekend. Fry brothers concert in the redwoods. Thank you for commenting.

[@marcusrussell8660]

Very relaxing, I live in the greater San Antonio area and no one knows how to drive. It takes about an hour to get away into the hill country. So I just take one of my older corvettes and cruise. I love driving fairly quick in the curves. But being in my 70’s I have slowed down quite a bit. I have owned eight motorcycles and miss them. Being a disabled veteran I am too afraid of more pain.

[@HolyBibleOpen]

@marcusrussell8660 I recently bought the Harley Ultra Glide Trike and love it. I also have the Sporster S for two wheel riding. I got a hernia and weight became an issue. All fixed now but I love riding and the Trike allows me to still do so.

[@ThreeWheeler54]

Great video,have been riding wings since 79 and that one had a sidecar.Owned a Sportster in 74 when I got out of the Army but never took delivery.Own a 09 Goldwing ,Vstorm 1000 and 06 Ultra Classic my first ridden Harley.At 65 after test riding one wow maybe its time to clean the garage out.Be safe.

I agree totally with your assessment of the GWDCT. I finally got the chance to ride one at Lake George, Americade last week. I’ve been a Harley rider for 40 years, but frankly, at 70, it’s too dam heavy to push around anymore, and the noise is killing my ears. My pipes aren’t that loud, and I wear earplugs, but the sound of the GW is so nice, and, quiet, it surely would turn 500 mile days into 800-1000 mile days very easily. I thinks it’s time for this old man to move on to a more manageable motorcycle. This wing is over 100 lbs. less weight than my 940lb. FLHTK.

[@mikejacks1939]

yes the lord really has blessed you Arturo, I have just enjoyed an hour of your company and thoroughly enjoyed the ride though the wine country of California with you and the Goldwing. It shows just how smooth and well balanced the bike is especially for such a heavy bike. your footage is what Motorcycling is all about for me, enjoying the ride and scenery not having it all pass as a blur. I am missing my bike as currently on holiday in Sunny and dry Spain and can't wait to get home although I know it is bound to be wet and windy when I return to the UK. Anyway thank you for the ride and Honda really should use your footage to to sell the Wing it is perfect.

I certainly appreciate the ride and comfort you are describing - I've heard it so many times on these videos - it must be true!. Had a Harley 1200 ~40yrs ago and now that I'm also blessed and retired looking at getting back into riding! Awesome dialogue. great job on the video!

Awesome ride, great video! I was one of those who had the older, first iteration GoldWings; the 1000cc 1976 or 78, I forget which year! But they were awesome back then! I progressed up from the Honda 450cc, to the 750cc (another classic bike), then the 1000cc. Added a cruise control and was on the road! Now retired also, was looking at this and what Honda has done with this new iteration and really liking it; even thinking about getting one and rejoicing the riding world! All the best to ya., 👍

Geez , I really loved watching this video. Thanks Arturo , it was like going for a ride with you. I'm hoping to buy a gold wing in the near future and take up riding again when I retire. Thanks again!!!!

[@jameshine7840]

I also put the F 4 windshield on my wing, it’s about 4 inches wider. It took that wind off my shoulders that was putting pressure on them from being pushed back. The windshield , and the Heli bar risers are two must if you want comfort on long trips, just my opinion,

[@Lylemac59]

You're right on about California jacking up pricing. I test drove the 2018 DCT tour last weekend but man...they wanted so much for it and so I talked to a dealer in Arkansas who is over $7,000 less for the exact same bike. So I thought, fly to Arkansas and ride it back the 1,550 miles. Ugh.. Nice video. Thanks

I noticed your arms are straight out on the bars. I have a 19 DCT TOUR, my arms were the same as yours straight out. I found that very uncomfortable. I bought the Heli bar risers for $ 129 dollars which brings the bars back a couple of inches, now I have a bend in my arms which is so much more comfortable to ride. You owe that to yourself, you’ll love the difference, hope this helps! 😊

I appreciate this Video which I stumbled upon this evening. I own a Road King Special, Ducati Hyperstrada, Yamaha XSR900 and a CRF250L Rally. Traded in a 2010 GoldWing GL1800 Audio (only) in Arrest-Me Yellow on the 2019 RKS in stunning Scorched Orange and Denim. Harley does Great Paint and ignores Technology [yes, I realize they added MSDRABCD traction control suite for 20 Touring.] I sure do miss the GW reverse at the age of 75. Tossing Around three Ultimate Touring Bikes: GW DCT, Yamaha Star Venture Transcontinental and BMW K1600B Grand America. Each of these has Reverse and Storage, Storage, Storage. But that DCT is the sheet (I think). Haven't ridden any of the three yet due to Ohio's Shelter in Place restrictions. Appreciate your candor during this video. I do wish you were an ATGATT person.

"Lmaoooo"...!!! What an awesome comment: "Naked we come into this world, and Naked we leave"... lol... And it's NOT EVER WRONG to OWN AN GOLDWING IN THE MEANTIME... Right..?? lol... Nicely said mate.. (PS: I've always liked to 'look' at the GoldWing and liked how people Customize their Bikes with lights, paints Stereo's and also even small trailers and small Campers.. Such a fun bike to do whatever You want with it... But, as I said.. I liked to look at it, and to see others GoldWing Bikes, But I've never ever felt like owning one myself.. Cos, I just felt they got bigger and bigger and further and further away from being a "Real Bike".. And some GW-Owners just didn't seem when to STOP 'Pimp'n' out their rides/bikes and it just got tooooo damn much on some and they just ended up destroying a nice bike.. And I've sort of had written off the whole GoldWing bike for myself to own... And the last Touring Bike I ended up owning myself was the "Honda 1300 Pan European" which was a very nice bike to Use and travel on as a Couple.. But, due to my health Issues I had to sell it.. But Now, with the (almost..) whole New GoldWing that's gotten a lot smaller and so much more sporty.. And it also looks a hell of a lot more Sporty too... And I've seen all these Vid's out on the KZbin, reviewing the New 2018 GoldWing.. And almost ALL have nothing but good things to say about it.. And those that are only trying to say and tell you the real truth about it, and they happen to say something negative about it too.. I just feel like they are only and really just Nit Picking this bike to shreds.. And it also feels like they are actually Struggling to even manage to come up with something Negative at all... And that also seem to be a common Thread thru all these Vid's and Clips and Reviews that is Made of this GoldWing Bike.. People (well, at least Most People anyway..), People just seem to be so Happy and Satisfied, and just So Pleased with the Whole Bike itself.. So, it really seem that Honda did a very Nice and Good Job about this, almost New Bike (I would certainly and almost go as far to say, and to call it.. A NEW BIKE.. as I just did just now, even some would prob not agree with me on that/this.. Well, it's Not far away from being a New Bike at least..) But some other thing I've come to notice when I've looked at all these Vid's and Reviews on the new Honda, 2018 GoldWing Bike, is that almost ALL and EVERYONE of them have some time or another Called it, or said it to be a "SMOOTH" Ride or a "SMOOTH" Bike.. So... "I wonder if it's "SMOOTH" or not"... lol... Another thing I also happen to enjoy and like really much about this New Honda GoldWing, is that it comes and sells with two different Options.. One more Touring and made for two people traveling over long distances on Holidays and Vacations maybe.. ANd one option is more Sporty and is made out to be a lot more sporty too.. And I really like that Option.. And I also (even though I've not yet tried it out and driven it myself yet...) I seem to like the New Auto Transmission it now got... And the gear changes on it really seem to be nothing but (here it comes form me too...) Nothing but "SMOOTH".. And when I saw and watched this Video too.. I've noticed when You/He drove over a Train Crossing...And the Bike almost didn't even take a notice that the Train Way was even there... It just ATE UP those Bumps as if they was/is Nothing at all.. And all of us that have ridden a few years on a Bike/Motorcycle, we know that a Train Passing (Especially in the wet..), it can actually be quite dangerous to have to do.. But, this Goldwing didn't seem to have any problems with it, or any kind of heavy and hard bumps at all.. It just seem to be the most Comfortable Bike you can ever have or own right now.. And to even Manage that, what Honda have done with this "Very Heavy Bike" is nothing but Amazing actually.. COs it all goes against each other.. Heavy to be Sporty... Comfortable but Sporty.. Etc etc etc.. So a BIG BIG KUDOS to HONDA for even managing all that into one Bike... Amazing.. And I totally get it, when even this "Harley Davidson-Man" say that he really LOVES it.. I totally get him for saying that.. And it also once again just Proves how GOOD and just how GREAT this "NEW" HONDA 2018 GOLDWING BIKE really is.. So, with (all..) that said.. Thanks for a very Nice (Long but not boring..), and Good Video and with a little Reviewing on the side there.. Cool and Fun and also Entertaining to see and watch.. And, You are Prob also very right when You say you live in "Bike-Riding-Heaven".. Cos, the Scenery beside and Around the roads you was driving on was just SO STUNNING TO WATCH.. ANd I had a Great Look around You as you where driving around... So, Beautiful.. But.. We also have some very Nice and/but.. Maybe not too good Roads.. But they are very Fun and Enjoyable to Ride on, and the Whole Nature around You is some of the Best out there in the Whole World.. Here in a little Land and Country called Norway..And once Bikers come here to drive and go thru the whole Country from "Bottom" to the "Top" (The top is the most Northern Point you can Go or Drive to in the Whole Europe, and is a Big, BIG TOURIST MAGNET to People all over the world, and it's called the NORDKAPP (or North Cape in English..) And bikers who have done the whole trip from the Southeast Point in Norway called Lindesnes.. And it's a Trip on about 2600 km, or 1616 Miles to drive.. And I even though Google Maps say it's done in about 39 hours.. I would rather use about a Week or even more and put in some things that are worth seeing and stay a few days extra in some places and Cities, to really SEE all things that's worth seeing and Staying there for.. And also, once in a while, get of the main road and take a smaller road and go on some of the many Ferry's along the way, and to go in and out of, and around of some of the Fjords is just also SOO COOL and AMAZING.. Just to see those BIG BIG CRUISER SHIPS go inside those very small Fjords and See that/their GREEN and BLUE Water in the Fjords, is also something You never will ever forget.. And You certainly will NEVER EVER REGRET you took the trip in the first place... And, it's also such nice Roads and Rides for a Biker and also for his Passenger (if he have one..) or his Companion to go on and Use.. At least, just once in a lifetime.. So and also, most and Many Bikers that have done the trip once, they always seem to come back and do it once and three times again, just so they can see and learn all there is along the way.. And I think it was the Travel Channel that Named it 1 thing You really should have on your Bucket List, and they also said it was 1 of the 5 Best and Nicest and Coolest and Most FUN ROADS and Ways to Go once in your lifetime.. What the other 4 Places or Roads was, they didn't say or Mention.. But I think that New Zealand from Top to Bottom was also one of them.. Well.. Anyway.. Once again.. THANX SO MUCH FOR A NICE VID.. AND FOR A NICE "NEW" BIKE.. CON GRATZ TO YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.. And also, Thanx for trying out something else than a "Harley Davidson" too.. I don't think that You will regret it once at all... But.. You will Prob. get/be in trouble with/from all the HD owners out there, that think you have betrayed them or something... When in fact.. "YOU ARE JUST BEING 'SMART' AND USING YOUR HEAD MORE THAN THEY ARE DOING... AND, ALSO.. SOME OF THEM ARE PROB. ALSO BEING KINDA JEALOUS OF YOU, STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF AND BUYING A BIKE THAT YOU WANT FOR/ON YOUR OWN.. COS...AFTER ALL.. LET's JUST FACE IT.. THE NEW 2018 GOLDWING IS A BETTER BIKE THAN MANY OTHER BIKES OUT THERE..(and I wouldn't have said this about the old bike that used to be.. But the new one.. well, that is something on it's own.. Right..??) So, GOOD LUCK TO YOU and YOUR NEW BIKE... (Well, we all know it's a HONDA... So, it will/won't probably NEVER EVER beak down on you if you just follow regular Checkups and Services.. You will have that Bike for LIFE BUDDY.. SO, (once again.. I have to say to You..) "CON GRATZ TO YOU AND YOUR NEW BIKE "Mr.Arturo Meuniot".. MAY YOU BOTH LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER" LIKE IN ALL STORIES OUT THERE.. AND DUE TO THE NEW AND FANCY TECHNOLOGY OF KZbin, I HOPE YOU WILL MANAGE OR TRY TO POST AS MANY VID's OF YOU AND YOUR NEW BIKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE... JUST "KEEP THAT CAMERA ROLLING BUDDY"... SO WE ALL CAN BE RIGHT BESIDE YOU IN A WAY...RIGHT... SO HERE, A BIG AND GREAT CHEERS TO YOU AND YOUR NEW TRIPS AND NEW ADVENTURE THAT's OUT THERE JUST WAITING FOR YOU AND YOUR NEW GOLDWING TO DRIVE INTO AND EXPLORE SOME MORE, REALLY, JUST HAVE A GOOD ONE Mr.Art"..??? lol...

OOOOH... Thanx... (That was a very fast response..), But, You're so very Welcome "Mr.Arturo"...You did a very nice (Little..) Video for us all to see and watch.. But.. My answer also became so much longer than I really had intended it to be also.. So/And, for that I'm actually Quite Sorry to You for, and fao all that to even happen at all though.. So Sorry... But also a Great Big Thanx to You too..

Great video...I've been thinking about trading my 2019 Heritage for a 2018 or 19 Gold Wing. I'm looking at one with manual clutch and one with DCT. Thanks for the video. Liked and subbed!

[@HolyBibleOpen]

Heritage costs less than my 2018 Dct Goldwing. Would trade if closer to costs.

[@JP1970]

@@HolyBibleOpen It is looking like I'm leanig toward the 2018 manual "new." Haha, weird, but yeah, brand new. There will be some negative equity rolled into the new deal, but Honda Financial is offering .99 financing, which will save me some money on the loan.

Question: Would you have anywhere near as good a pension from the Bridge & Ironworkers Union IF You Lived Anywhere Other Than California, New York, New Jersey or Connecticut ?

[@HolyBibleOpen]

The pension is based on hourly pay. Each union district negotiates their pay. The Golden Gate Bridge has its own pay scale and is different from the union pay. Both are based on cost of living.

[@davidfalgout7304]

DID you sell the GW? What didn't you like about it? Why do you prefer the HD?

[@HolyBibleOpen]

Sold. I love all motorcycles but Harley is stepping up in engine design. Tons of modifications for them. Plus Americana in heritage.

Hey there, Arturo. Hope you’re doing well. I just want to know after 2.5 years if you’re still loving your goldwing and if you would buy it again knowing what you know about your bike. I know no bike is perfect, but is there anything about the goldwing that you really can’t stand? I’m torn between two bikes and I just need the last bit of info to make up my mind. Thanx much for your time. Stay safe. A fellow rider from Vegas

[@HolyBibleOpen]

I still love it. Only have 1000 miles on it. May sell it. I added the highway pegs to it, the only thing I thought it lacked. Have too many motorcycles at the moment. Thank you for commenting.

Hello Arturo , Just subscribed to your channel. Any input on that drone sound ? Others have reported ? I know you were breaking in you’re engine . Riders have mentioned the bike makes some type of annoying sound at speeds between 60 to 75 ??

[@HolyBibleOpen]

I did not have any sounds on this video that annoyed me. Will do another video examining this issue. Thank you for commenting.

Look into the Goldwing Road Riders Association, world wide almost 700 chapter internationally. A real class act and their education program has been recognized by the govt. as the best in the country. Nicest people you will meet, around 70K plus members. Look at Cruiseman video he has the same bike and he had his seat redone in Texas, he says will make a huge difference.

[@rcabc9366]

Good review. Thank you and appreciate it. Have to say, though, Calif homeowners have taken a hit on mortgage interest write-off, but shoulda mentioned it was the current federal administration (2016/2020) that was responsible for that one, not the Calif governor. So wondering ... who exactly is the goofy one? Rhymes with rump. Be safe.

Hello from a fellow NorCal rider. Have you taken your Goldwing on a very twisty road, yet? Something like the Hopland Rd (Hwy 175) that you almost rode in this video. I'm curious how much one has to wrestle this bike on such a road, if at all.

[@HolyBibleOpen]

Mark Heinig So far, I have not had any wrestling situations. tight turns are a breeze.

[@BBryker]

Great and awesome video watched it start to finish. Congratulations on the new bike safe riding enjoy it. By the way you were talking about some stretched out foot pegs I do believe. There is a website called www.wingstuff.com you will find anything and everything related to your 2018 Honda Gold wing DCT. 😎👍🏻

I am considering the go wing and the Indian Hondas name is synonymous with reliability I like the looks of the Indians but know nothing about them never rode one

[@HolyBibleOpen]

I like the weight being low on the Goldwing. The Indian brand is making a comeback. I like them. I mostly own Harleys and love all motorcycles. My advice is to watch youtubes on the motorcycles you like and see what they say about them. Both of your choices are good ones. Thank you for commenting.
