TRIP FROM TEXAS TO MICHIGAN AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW GOLDWING GL1800

[@robertlewis3712]

Buying a new bike, taking off for an 1100 mile trip with your son and trying to make the trip in a couple of days is a real adventure. Both of you will have years of “remember when we did” memories for your old age. I would have loved to have done this with my father. You are blessed .

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Thanks Robert. It was a blast and you are right. Memories to last a lifetime. Great experience and I think he grew up a little on our trip. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍 ride safe.

[@econewpower]

It's so cool that you took your young son on this adventure, it's something he will always remember and both of you will create an even stronger bond. The bike is beautiful as it is, no need to apologize for what you picked, it's great looking bike! I can tell your son really loves spending time with you, treasure every minute with him. How did David like the trip?

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Thank you so much for your comment 👍 . We had a great time and David loved the trip. He talks about it everyday since. And you are correct on spending time with him creates a stronger bond. I can tell you that any kid that rides on a bike for 1100 miles in 2 days is definitely going to be a rider when he grows up. Again thanks for the comment for watching and your positive support. 🙏 ride safe.

[@manuelflick7212]

Great video i feel like im part of the fam. I own a 2002 orange gold wing had it since brand new from 2002. I also am a Bikers for Christ member. I love the video..thanks bro.

[@ericdunlap1924]

You accomplished two main objectives on this trip. 1, You gave your boy a memory that he'll one day share with his children. 2, You instilled in your son a love of motorcycling. God bless you and yours and always...ride safe!

[@phillipternullo4934]

You’re a good man . Bringing entirely too many smiles on this young man’s face . lol. Good looking Gold Wing . Prayers for you’re wife and that you made it home safe and sound .

Thanks for sharing yours and David's ride with us. Love the Goldwing, nothing like it for comfort, power, smooth ride, reliability, etc. :) I had a 2008 in the pearl white color.

[@richardwheeler3768]

Mo, at the 13:40 mark you put it in perspective. You are putting your wife first which is admirable and important. I will be praying for you and your wife, and appreciate you spending time with you son...fatherhood is very important and often overlooked.

[@ronaldkirk1860]

Mo, I have met u, but I see ur a great father and husband. You're everybody's hero. Great job.

[@krispy1k]

Prayers for the wife. Hope she is doing well. Loved the "Get off me" to David. Lol I have yet to go on a big road trip on any bike but now having my wing I see something in the near future. My wife just had surgery yesterday so our plan to ride to Lake George, NY for Americade this year is out due to her recovery time into June. With that said I hope to get in a good road trip sometime somewhere by summers end.

Awesome bike. I drive to Canton, Ohio from Maryville Tn the first Saturday in March and bought a 1994 Goldwing and drive it back home. After 52 years on Harley’s, I am loving this Goldwing. My 70 year old body is thanking me everyday.

[@313GHETTOFABULOUS]

WOW! Your vid just popped up. This is deja vu. Wow. I made this same trip from Michigan to buy my 2015 Goldwing from this same dealership about this same time of year (early April) 3 years ago. Drove down with my old bike on the U haul trailer non stop 16 hours. Slept the night in the hotel a block away. Was at the dealership that following morning when they opened. Signed the paperwork. Loaded the new bike on the trailer and hit the road about noon and drove 16+ hours nonstop home. I really hope the wife is doing well. I know a bit of what she's dealing with. My wife and I did the full Michigan mitten perimeter ride a couple years ago. Hopping to do the Lake Superior ride this year. Hopefully we can connect at some point. I'm subscribed and will stay tuned.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

🤣🤣👍 reading your comment was like deja vu. Other then driving down. I flew, Well i appreciate you subscribing. And the comment. We rode to the bridge last year and I have been talking about doing a U.P. ride. It is beautiful up there. About 10 yrs ago I pulled my boat to the pictured rocks and put it in and boated around lake superior. It was a great experience now I want to ride that area. Absolutely please keep in touch. Sounds like you have the same bike 🤔Thanks again for watching and please ride safe. You can always email me at. [e-mail]

I will do this same thing one day, thank you for the motivation. I didn't think anyone would do this lol.

Road trip in a few weeks- gonna be about 5k miles in 2 weeks. Taking a 99 1500,my second 1500 wing. Great bikes! I travel alone it's the absolute best.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Al thanks for the comment. Sounds like you have a nice trip planned and on a great bike. I have an 88 GL1500. My dad has a 2000 SE. Nothing wrong with those bikes. Thanks for the comment and ride safe. 👍

[@craigdouglasmartens7037]

Hey. Thanks for this great channel. We hope and pray your wife is well. This Wing of yours on this video is anabsolute beauty. I'msure this bike will be perfect when you're finally done with her. I have never been privieged enough to own a motorcycle but when I do ( and I'm 61 now), it would be a Wing. South Africa is a beautiful country and the best way to see it is most probably on a Wing. That flat 6 and those sweeping lines ...

[@cewonz8884]

Prayers are with you and the family for your wife! Wish I could buy your bike. You take good care of your bikes! Hope your son enjoyed his trip! Blessings 🙏🏾

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Thank you Ce Wonz. Very much appreciated. David loved the trip and wants to do it again. 🤣🤣 he is going to definitely be a rider when he grows up. I am going to do an iron butt and take him with me for that as well. Again thanks for your positive comment and please ride safe. Thanks for watching as well.

[@GoingYooper]

Our thoughts are with you and your family my friend. An Amazing trip and time spent with the boy. Who must be a mad man to ride on the back of a bike and then do over 1000k to boot. Just awesome. Silver is good. I have the yuck gray/silver 02 but want a blacked out 15-18. Riding in heavy wind tip: Old biker trick, Point the knee on the side that the wind is coming from out at a 90* angle. The wind (from forward movement) will hit your leg and act like a sail. The drag will counteract the side blowing wind.holds me up good in heavy wind. I want to do the Iron butt with my son. We live in the UP off M35. Might loop the lake.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Thank you for the thoughts. Also the great tip with the sail. That never occurred too me but makes perfect sense and will do next time I'm in a strong wind like I was. It was scary for about 150 miles. But I kept the wheels turning. If you fo the iron but let me know. I'm kind of interested in doing it because I now know I can. The trip was alot of fun. Thanks again for viewing and your comment 👍

[@GoingYooper]

@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 I will for sure let you know. My son got his moto lic last season and he is ready for a big trip like that and so am I. More the better when it comes to motorcycle rides. Even if we just meet up for a few miles of highway be cool. My son is on a 09 Honda Shadow with low miles so stopping every 150 miles or so for gas. But thats a little over 200ish miles or so and good time to shake out the legs. I will let you know my friend. And yeah they leg trick works like a dream. One of them things I wish I learned about long ago. Game changer in fact. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.Take care brother and ride safe.

[@rinzler6757]

It was a pleasure to meet you and your son on this video. I'll be watching and looking forward to meeting your wife. Cancer is like that semi you said almost ran you off the road. It's scary when it happens but shrinks quickly in the rear-view mirror.

I like watching videos like yours (this one in particular) as I am saving some money to try and buy a GW Trike.

[@weirdshibainu]

I remember how people snubbed the gold wing when it first came out (many Harley riders still mock it) but the math is easy-do you want to ride? Or wrench? Goldwings are incredibly reliable and comfortable.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

OMG. YOU HIT THAT NAIL ON THE HEAD HARD. I was just telling my wife after we watched 6 Harley riders ride 450 miles on KZbin . They had to stop at 3 Harley shops, 1 clutch stopped working, 2 lost his gear shifter, and 3 was a rear tire. Now the tire can happen on any bike however the other 2 were just something i would not want to deal with. AND THATS THE REASON I RIDE A GOLDWING. And these were 2018 and newer Harleys. GO FIGURE. Now don't get me wrong I don't care what people ride. And I stand behind every rider because we all take the same risks. But like you said do you wanna wrench or do you wanna ride. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thatguyjimmie]

I purchased a 2018 dct wing last summer with only $7,500 Mi on it from an older couple. They bought it brand new and I've put at least that many miles on it in one season. I love to just get out and take an evening ride after work and improve on my motorcycle skills. If I had a son I'd be taking him all over too. I think he'll definitely more than likely get that bike handed down to him

Hey just found your channel I think it's great riding with your son on a long motorcycle trip on your goldwing also I did a long motorcycle I actually did it twice I rode from Philly to Sturgis about 1700 miles one way 3 days up 3 days back and I did that trip 2yrs in a row LONGEST RIDE EVER 😅 but I enjoyed every bit of it even though nobody wants to ride with me because they say it's to far but I enjoyed it anyway safe travels and and hope your wife stays healthy

[@wlingrell]

I hope all is going to be well with your wife. I went through the same thing a couple of months ago. It only takes very very little blood for the test to test positive. There are many things that cause very small amounts of blood in the stool other than cancer. We always think of the worst. I love the color of your new bike. I am not that crazy about orange but that is why they make different colors, everyone has their own likes. I am 70 yrs old and still riding my old 1986 Honda 1200 Aspencade. I just can't get rid of it. It runs like new and still looks like new, I have never let the stealership touch my bike. I have had absolutely no problems with it. Tires and brakes and oil changes have kept it running great. I haven't even had a stator issue. I didn't add a bunch of lights on it. Wiring is all factory except for hardwiring the 3 stator wires. Oh and I forgot batteries. I even had a battery last me 6 years, the average lasts 5 years if you are lucky and take care of them. I have fun just polishing it. Goldwings are the best. Enjoy your new bike. Stay safe and the best to you and your family.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Wow. Thank you Wayne. You are correct sir about a small amount of blood. She went in and they removed a polyp and sent it too the lab to test for cancer. We have not got those results yet however the doctor was quit positive about it not being cancer. But you know doctors 🤔 I will tell you my second bike was a goldwing 1986 GL1200 Interstate. I rode the crap out of that bike and the only thing that ever failed beside replacing a battery was the stator. GO FIGURE. And that was in 1994. So it lasted 7 to 8 years. I rode that bike from Michigan to Mexico and back. 1 heck of a great ride and memories I will never forget. Too me it's still one of Hondas best bikes. I don't know why they stopped making it or only made it for 4 yrs I believe. They been making the 1800 for 21 yrs now. I hope my wife don't read this. The orange bike was a very nice looking bike for being 20 yrs old and since my wife was footing the bill I let her pick the color. This new one, I picked the color. I was ready for a change. Not that I didn't like the color because it does look great in the sun. Anyways you keep riding your 86 Aspencade. It's a great bike. 👍 thanks for watching and the comment. 1 more thing. How many miles do you have on you 86 now and what color is it? Mine was black.

Im thinking of doing an iron butt ride and my son said he will do it with me. Looking at another 1500? That's the bike that got me into the 1800. I still have a 1500 and very much enjoy it. 😉 thanks again for viewing and the comment please ride safe. And take care.

You say you bought another GoldWing..... is there any other motorcycle out there? My older '07 is triked, the wife & I did the Iron Butt National Parks tour in '17, 52 parks & monuments in 37 states, 33K miles. Took the better part of the year, but what fun we had. Prayers for a good outcome on your wife's colonoscopy. They're not bad once you get over being violated "back there". But better to know. My last PSA test showed some abnormalities in blood composition. I have a blood cancer, rare, but not leukemia. Only 2/1000 folks have it. Being treated, but it is weekly. So our riding will be closer to home for a while.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Thanks for the comment and you are right. There is no other bike out there. Well there is but not for me. Wow that must of been a trip to remember? 33 thousand miles and 37 states. That's what I would love to do. That just separated the bike owners from the bike riders. Because you sir are a bike rider. Thanks again for you comment and please ride safe out there. Praying that all goes well for you and your family. And thanks. Wife is all good after her test. Box test gave a false positive. Ride safe. 👍

I'm going to do start to the east. Want to go to New England motorcycle museum. Drive though Boston, Salem. Then go to the wheels through time in North Carolina. Then probably ride through the southern belt. Head out west, to see the mountains! Have a great day! Keep the two wheels down!

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Wow Brian. Sounds like you have some big plans for a great ride. 👍 a ride like that will be something you will never forget.

U have never done that. Anyways thanks for watching and the comment please be safe out there.

[@keeptwowheelsdown]

I have rode all over the USA. I haven't went on a cross country ride in 8 years cause of work. One of my favorite things to do, is ride out west. The views are amazing. I've got two possibilities for company on this trip. Time will tell if they are serious, also if they can get time off work. If your family situation changes, the more the merrier! Even if you can only do the eastern part. Have a great weekend! Remember keep the two wheels down! P.s I'll be praying for your wife

Best wishes and prayers for your Wife. I think it's wonderful you are sharing your journey's with your son. I have some to remember with my Father, who passed at 90 years old. Priceless memories for sure. As far as the wind. I experienced severe unstable cross winds on a ride to Death Valley a few years ago. Fortunately my Wife was not with me on that trip! RV's and Semi's blew over, like you experienced. In fact a fiberglass boat blew off it's trailer and landed about 80ft off the road. I look at these experiences as a learning curve. Since then we have hit some pretty strong cross winds on trips. She asks how I'm doing, and I reply, it's OK honey. This is nothing like the Hwy 395 that time on the way to DV! Every ride is a learning experience, for sure. Corventure Dave

He found out what an iron butt was and now he is asking to do that with me🤔 I personally think this kid will be a rider when he grows up. And your right its not always you get that alone time with your kid. I don't think I could of sat behind my dad and rode 1100 miles in 2 days.
