New Mexico to Canada (and back) on the GoldWing....Episode 1

That was one of the best trips of my life I was 79 I had a 2010 gold wing I left from Beverly Hills Florida to Fairbanks Alaska. It was a real adventure and every way. My trip was 14,000 miles in four months. When I came back to Route 80 I won’t West Route 70 began and then I went back over the Rockies and into Florida. The trip was a dream come true. I pulled a camper behind Bike. I have no problem with either one Bike or the camper.

That sounds like the trip of a lifetime for sure!!!

Just ran into your channel, enjoying this series .. (new subscriber here) These older Goldwing's are a heck of a deal for long travel. I'm looking for one myself now, use to ride and have owned many bikes in my day but a Goldwing 1500 is on my short list now.... never ridden a Wing...but wont fork out the big $$ for a new one. Thanks for the Inspirational travel Vids... yes the mic when riding needs work but great stuff.... keep it up !

[@twobikesandadrone]

Thanks for the feedback! Mic quality is much better now, thankfully. Be patient and you'll find a great deal on a 1500 I'm sure!! And you won't ever have to worry about buyers regret because it's the best bike on the planet!! You might as well get yourself a shop manual now, so you can get familiar with the 1500.....not because you'll have to work on it all the time, but so you won't be intimidated by having to remove pieces to do routine preventive maintenance stuff. The only downside to a 1500 that I can see, is that it probably won't be possible for me to trike it out when I get too old for two wheels (since companies won't be making those kits any longer)....so I may have to get another one that's already triked, or get an 1800 trike.

I've been enjoying your goldwing trip immensely. As the owner of a 2000 model year golden, I just completed a 1500 mile trip a few weeks ago. Cannot beat the value of these machines. I will bet that your 87 runs like a new machine. Anyway, great video

[@twobikesandadrone]

Thanks Brad! It's actually an '89, not that it matters really! So you have the last of the 1500s right? If mine ever kicks the bucket, I may have to look for one of those myself!! Glad you're enjoying the videos; it really means a lot to hear that. I sure wish I had a better mic at the time, since there's an awful lot of wind noise at times, but overall, they give a good idea of what a long trip like that can be like, I think. Again, thanks for the feedback!

[@goldwingmoments]

Hey my friend, just found your channel and decided to sub. I like the two bike system and drone. Your video was great viewing. Thanks for sharing.

[@twobikesandadrone]

I sure do appreciate you taking the time to tell me that! Still figuring it all out but recently got a new drone and hope to incorporate that into more of the videos. Wish me luck 😄

[@goldwingmoments]

@@twobikesandadrone , I have a dji Mini 2 as well but have only tested it once. I hope to do more drone video as well. Have fun with it.

[@twobikesandadrone]

@@goldwingmoments I love finding new GoldWing pages and just subscribed to your channel as well. Looking forward to checking out your content!!

[@goldwingmoments]

@@twobikesandadrone , thanks so much. We all try our best to share information that will help each other. Have fun out there.

[@twobikesandadrone]

@@goldwingmomentsExactly!! And it gives us more excuses to ride….not that we need any! 😄

[@mikesimpson9565]

The one thing I have noticed is harly davidson has allot of breakdown on the long road . Where the my favorite goldwing seems to last and last. Even with proper care on both brands .

[@twobikesandadrone]

I'm biased of course, but after 170,000 miles I couldn't agree more. Honda just knows how to overbuild things so that they'll last longer, and the GoldWing is proof of that!!

[@stefanm67]

I'm on episode three now and really enjoying this series. Thanks for uploading it. I really enjoyed the Breaking Bad ones too. I've subscribed and told my sons about the channel so hopefully they will too. Hi from the UK. 🇺🇸 🏍 🇬🇧

[@twobikesandadrone]

Thank You! My mic wasn’t the best for the Canada trip, and I think my editing skills have improved a bit since then….but I’m glad you’re enjoying it!! What part of the UK do you hail from?

[@stefanm67]

​@@twobikesandadrone Near Dover. On the South coast. I often travel past Lakenheath in Norfolk though. Were you there during your service?

[@twobikesandadrone]

@@stefanm67 I've been to Lakenheath at least once, and to another small base that was over there at the time.....but not Mildenhall. Can't remember the name. Also took a 24-hour ferry ride over there once, with a bunch of Brits that had just come back from an alcohol rehab place of some kind. Or at least some of them had been there. This is in the mid-80s, so it's been a while 🤔😄 Anyway, that was a very eventful ride, since they were definitely making up for lost time!!!

[@mitchjimmy2962]

Goldwing is a beast I have a 95 what did you use for a phone holder

[@twobikesandadrone]

It's a Kuryakyn, but I like the Ram Quick Grip that I have on my other bike a lot better. The Kuryakyn has held up for at least 5 years though (can't remember exactly when I got it), so there's something to be said for that I guess.

blablavbla

[@user-bu2en3cl6s]

The BMW is garbage. Of course you took the Goldwing.

[@twobikesandadrone]

You clearly have BMW issues, but I WILL say that the only reason I took the Wing was because it's more comfortable and has better protection from the elements. The GS is far from garbage, and is the better all-around bike as you well know I'm sure, but I'm curious why you have issues with BMWs?

[@disfiguringthegoddes]

If it's garbage then I wonder why BMW sell so many and it is so popular. Here in the UK the GS is consistently a best seller. I love the Goldwing, by the way.
