I had a short try with a motorcycle. He showed me how to start but not how to stop. So I went over a log and hit a fence. So that was the end for me 😂 if I were younger maybe I would try again

lovely day out for both of you interesting money-making idea doing photos with the aircraft, obviously popular

In 1943 a man Called Eric was ‘given’ a Manchester to fly and when he got the hang of it he was ‘given’ a Mk4 Lancaster and a New Zealand crew to do the job they’re known for. He was only just 18. He became an amazing flight instructor, obviously a natural, and he taught my husband to fly in the ‘80’s/‘90’s and he came to our wedding in 2007. An amazing and very interesting man.

That's an awesome day out, love going to flight museums. I originally come from a small place called EastLinton which is next to the old aerodrome at East Fortune where they have a museum of flight. I was there when Concorde arrived and also when the Vulcan Bomber landed, both still on show along with loads of other ww1 and ww2 planes and vehicles. Might be worth a trip up that way for a weekend away. I seem you laughing at the scooter, I bought one at the auctions last week, going to restore it, I have put a video on about it. However it won't be replacing the Gold wing lol. Keep up the videos guys. Catch you soon.

Anybody that dares to take their pride and joy to Skegness runs the risk of it not being where you left it, no matter how much sercurity you use. BE WARNED.

So glad RUclips recommended this video. What a lovely couple you are 👍 I've only ever been to Skegness a couple of times for a day out and I always enjoyed it, there's plenty to do there. Been a long while since I last went though. Lovely footage from your cameras and the sound is so clear when you're talking, I honestly thought you were doing a voiceover when I first started watching the video 👍 Enjoyed it, subscribed, all the best 👍

Hey friends... Does my Kentucky heart good to see a KFC in the UK.. and the front camera view is wonderful..

Long time since I have been down there, I used to go to Scarbrough, Filey and Bridlington alot, would take the kids to Haven Primrose Valley holiday park often. I remember many years ago I went to a show farm called Lightwater Valley, years later it turned into a fun park, I took our Youth Club there once back in the early 2000's , that was when I drove for First Bus. That was nice to see around Skeggy again, brought back some memories.. I like the camera setup, I have only got the one Go Pro but planning on another. I bought the DJI wireless mic's too which seems to work well even inside the helmet, saves the wiring. The Goldwing seems to be going well, no more hiccups? I think it is probably the best bike in the world to ride. A mate of mine who is a Harley guy took a shot of the Goldwing, after it he actually admitted he preferred that to his Harley, I think the Harley is just a show piece, no one can honestly say they are nice comfy bikes, but hey thats my opinion. Good to see you guys on the road, keep up the miles,,, Dan

Nice camera work!

Bracing is tourist board language for perishingly cold.

Looked like a great couple of days, great when the weather is nice as well. Thanks for sharing and the additonal camera seems to work well.

Looked like a great day out, well done and thanks for sharing and train lunch looked great 😊

Must admit I went to the Sena S50 which has mesh, you can connect multiple on the same mesh bandwidth. We go out with a dozen or more and all on the one mesh channel although I often pop off onto pair with my wife for privacy. Glad you got it all going though.

its easier if you use app on phone

Hi there, if you don’t mind me asking what intercom are you using, I’m getting my Goldwing next week and need to get hold of one🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

I expect the Bolloch ale was drinkable?

My husband was a motorcycle instructor for more than 40 years, when he listened to your story he was appalled at your instructors behaviour. I really hope, if you decide to have another go, you find a decent instructor who gives you the confidence to ride again !

Yeah sounds like you need a better instructor and to get back on the (iron) horse!

My wife loves to ride pillion but has absolutely zero interest in riding herself. I've tried, but I know now to not push it and just be grateful that she's happy to at least ride pillion. When we first met she hated bikes (she works in life assurance dealing with death claims), so it's a minor miracle that I've even managed to get her on the back of one! I have a friend who recently tried his CBT. It was bought for him by his partner as he'd always wanted to give it a try as he'd never ridden a motorcycle before. But he just couldn't get on with riding a motorcycle, said there was too much going on all at once and he just didn't feel confident or comfortable at all. And he has a pilot's licence and flies regularly! I said a very similar thing to both of them - give it a try, but if you don't like it and don't WANT to persevere to try and gain some confidence, then riding a bike is not for you. Learning aside (we all have to start somewhere), a motorbike is not the place to be if you're feeling nervous or anxious.

Have you thought about a trike? It's a truly nice experience! Best wishes to you both x

My wife had a very similar experience and is a happy pillion on my goldwing. Just grateful she will ride with me as I do love our jaunts out…..mainly to tea shops!

I think most who try to do it all too quickly often fail through nerves. You out really should do a couple of years riding untill you gain so much confidence you could ride without thinking about it. But if you try to do it all too quickly you won't have that confidence. Maybe getting another bike and spending that time riding for a 2 year period would get you through your test, but then look at pros and cons, such as do you really need to? Look at the expense? My wife has been riding since we first got married, her first bike was a Suzuki 50, then a Yamaha DT LC 125, this was back in 1982 onwards. Just recently she sold her Yamaha Bolt 950 as she hasn't used it in about 5 years as she has become too nervous. I think as you get older it does get harder to keep your confidence riding, knowing whether to ride or not is something only you will know.. Cheets

As I was so scared witless as a pillion I took my bike test before I ever drove a car. As I recall the CBT was just being introduced but I just squeaked in before that. I spent many happy years pootling around on various bikes before I took my car test. They were just introducing the theory tests then and I just squeaked in with my car licence before having to do that too. My last bike was a ZZR600, I enjoyed the biking and the community around it but left it all really and gradually became a softy car driver. I do miss it sometimes when the sun's shining but the state of the roads makes me think maybe not...

You need to lookup motorcycle lessons Uk RUclips channel…. Female instructor based in Nottinghamshire. She is great to watch and you get to see how she trains…

I have started riding again so I could ride my partners bike if he had a problem.. I used to have a bike years ago so already have my full bike licence.

My dad and brother were motorbike mad. Dad thought motorbikes were unsuitable for girls, so he bought a Lambretta and taught me to ride down the farm lanes before I was old enough to get a learners licence. I passed my test first time - I'm talking over 60 years ago now. I went miles on that Lambretta and loved it to bits.

I’ve always been around motorbikes. My first hubby was a very longtime, confident motorcyclist and we clocked up loads of miles. I eventually took my own test and drove around on my own ER 500 for a couple of years but I really preferred being a pillion, never as confident and comfortable as he was. Second hubby is more a car man and I haven’t ridden for years. Daughter and her partner are big bike people and she does track days on some huge bikes. You have to have the natural confidence especially now a days. Cars, and people, are a lot faster!

Friend, Honda makes a rebel 1100 that is DCT (automatic) and might be your size.. I hope you get the courage to try again..

I so enjoy the English countryside; please continue to share. Hello from Kentucky..

What a wonderful tour! I haven’t been over to the UK for a long while …. It is time to go back. Thank you for the lovely nudge.🤓

Lovely video.... thanks guys another cracker👌🏽👏🏽👌🏽 I love watching these with my wife, I must seriously consider a Honda Goldwing, absolutely beautiful bike👍🏽💙😊

That was a nice tour and history lesson. Can't believe how green everything is in the UK, over here everything is a bit dry and a little colder as the start of June is the beginning of our winter, not that it gets really cold. I was listening to you mention the fuel and additives, in the UK most fuel is refined at the same refinery, so no matter what brand you get it is really all the same. Years back when I worked in Scotland I used to work for First Bus South East Scotland. I did a review on fuels that we used and also on whether Bio Diesel was worth swapping to. I contacted Scannie, Volvo and Denis on the use of Bio fuels in their engines. To cut a long story short I ended up having our area switch to Bio Diesel for a year to test it. The results were really good that First Bus UK made the switch too.. I got no recognition for it, but everyone knew it was me..that's my wee claim to fame. Anyhoo, another good video, catch up with you guys again in the next one.

good fun X

Great videos guys, really helped us make the decision to buy an imaculate used goldwing, i unexpectedly fell in love with the goldwing around 12 months ago, we will take possession when we return home from bali in 2 weeks,

Hello from Indiana. Sorry to hear that your GW had an issue. I have an 08 with 94000 miles. Just routine maintenance and one recall. Great video. Have friends in Kimberly, would love to ride in the UK. I have owned three GW. 75, 98, & 08. Loved all of them. Best regards & safe riding.

I used to keep my 2nd Gen off the road during winter months, but we decided not to SORN the wing, as some days can be beautiful in winter months, and we would dress for the temperature and get out. You do not have to SORN if you decide not to ride during the winter.

Awww, did you make a little video?

I use E0 fuel all the time here in France even though some of my bikes will run on E10. The reason being that E0 petrol has a higher calorific value than E10 which results in higher MPG. In the UK Esso is still available ethanol free in certain areas, even though by law like France it must be marked up as E5.

I have a Triumph t120 and Im looking at a GW so that I can take my girl with me on long trips. Ive taken the Bonnie on 800 mile trips no problem. But Im 6'3" and need the entire seat to myself hah. The GW is a Cadillac and it seems to be the way to go. Cheers from Las Vegas, and safe travels

Springtime at last… I only use E5 in my o2 wing… it’s a rip off price though… 160 a litre at my local esso

Driving in the USA on vacation our rental SUV was an E95 engine, and E95 fuel was one dollar cheaper and the SUV returned 21 in stead of 22 mpg. My 2013 2nd Gen GL1800 ran with no difference when on E10. My better insisted that a Blue Tour DCT looked beautiful, so in October we swapped, and the DCT runs with no problem on E10.

I use E5 in my older 90's bikes (one is carbs) and E10 in the newer ones. I don't why people say supermarket E10 is bad. Tesco, for example, always used to be supplied fuel by esso. Supermarket fuel will come out of a major brands refinery. Why would they bother producing a lower quality fuel for supermarkets?

I ride an older bike (92) E5 for me.

pleased to see you back on the Bike Johnathan. Looking forward to your videos. Ref the E10 just about every bike has no issue with the fuel. There was a list on the Government site at the change over, but like all Gov sites there were vehicles on it that were classed as not suitable , when manufactures were clearly stating the engines were ok up to E15, of course there were the ones listed as ok when they were not ok. My V900 was ok with E10 as is my new bike 21 Plate Goldwing tour.

I just picked up my new (to me) goldwing two days ago, just in time for a bit of nice weather here on iom 😁 ..you just know they'll be digging that nice bit o tarmac up for utilities soon enough, lol.

Hubby says they seem to have cured the issues with newer vehicles but E10 in older, classic or vehicles that sit for long periods, even lawnmowers, would benefit from fuel draining or putting in an additive. We do with all ours that sit for overwintering.

Your bike will be fine on E10 mate, the only issue that it really causes are that the ethanol attacks things like unsuitable o rings and rubber pipes, also it absorbs more water than E5 but as long as its in a relatively sealed system you will be fine.

In your area, are you able to find pure gas or ethanol free gas? In Texas you can find it scattered around. We also have this certification at select gas stations called top tier gas and they are tested often. Another option is to get your gas at new brand name station. In my area the most common gas has 10 percent ethanol in all three grades. The grades I’m talking about are regular mid grade and super.
