You're on one of the best road bikes there is. Honda knew what they were doing and over the years they perfected it. It is the Cadillac of the bike industry when it comes the luxury.
Right on RG. Thank you for watching and it was such a blast to ride with friends. A little secret I came back alone 1500 miles and the excitement of the new bike (GW) was the reason I was able to do that. Will bring that video out soon as well.
Welcome back, Z. Yes, that little ticking sound is normal. Very nice commentary and good long ride. I just got back from a Texas run at 668 miles. I ran 80 to 85 and got 165 miles per tank. Nice to see you up and running on RUclips.
@@GoldRyderOne thanks Mac. Good to know that ticking sound is normal. I saw your video on it and I’m glad that little jump you had from the debris didn’t cause any serious damage to Snowee.
Indeed. Mac came out to visit a bunch of us in North Texas Texas for our weekly Sunday Cruiseman & Robert White Moto breakfast gathering. He did that haul in one shot. Both ways. A beast. 😂 It’s now moved to the first Sunday of every month. You are always welcome Panda Express! Bring yourself or some friends whenever you like. We’d love to have you.
Yeah, kinda got the same vibe, when you know, you know. Some really nice rides in that group though…and that exhaust on that Silver GW…sounds pretty cool for a Metric bike. There is one thing that I would love to have on my RoadGlide…is that power adjustable windshield….very cool for the more local rides to be able to bring that WS right down….and when Touring, on those bad weather and cold days….being able to adjust in demand is imho is something that HD should’ve had available on the RG and SG long ago….Indian saw the market for it….HD always seem to be a little 😮behind the times 🤔
I don’t care if it is 30 outside, watching this makes me want head out riding anyway! I can’t right now because my GW is sitting at a Honda dealer getting a factory recall done that replaces the internal primary drive bolt.
Thanks for the video! I will be riding from Augusta GA to Sturgis next summer. Be sure to check the gear oil in your final drive. Many owners say it was not properly filled from the factory.
Thank you. I think The dji mic2 I have is too close to my mouth I need to move it sideways a bit it almost sounds muffled at times. I have the magnet it comes with velcroed inside the helmet and the mic snaps on to that.
I agree with you who gives a crap whether it’s a Goldwing or a Harley you still riding and having fun just get there safely in the suit on the gold wing like some jeans and the leather jacket on the Harley you’re still getting there
(3:50) I normally pack my bike 2 days before, including trailer & fueled. (but, every day) go through, my check list, tires, oil, general inspections, safety chains, lights, blinkers, brake lights
Awesome vid! I'll be making the Sturgis trip from the ATL area in 2026. I love my Road Glide but your Goldwing looks so comfortable... Might have to switch teams 😅
Stay off the slabs, see America take some secondary highways and back roads you will find it more interesting and relaxing. When going west try Hwy 2 or Hwy 12.
Agreed, however sometimes time restraints don’t allow…but if there is a bike to do it on..as a RG owner…GW would definitely be the ride to do it on ….as far as the ride goes….not too crazy about mid controls am a fwd controls type of rider…but with the hwy pegs that have out for the GW these days…almost as if you had fwd controls Just wouldn’t be looking fwd to replacing the air filter 🤔
Man the matt green does look sick but its only on the bagger and I think Dubai only gets the tour right? I lived in Dubai for 12 years never saw the GW bagger there. Thanks for watching.
Sorry guys, maybe a stupid question, but what are you driving on the left side…? In my country is it forbidden… left lane is thought for overtaking and afterwards we have to drive back to the middle lane… obviously you don’t need to:) how it works in the USA please? Many thanks 🙏🏻
I enjoyed the ride! Will be looking forward to day 2 and 3. The F6B that you did the Sound on can you find out what Brand/Type bag that is? I believe it is the Nelson Rigg Weekender, Thanks.
Thanks for watching, and yes I am working on the next video - the bag on the grey GW was Nelson Rigg NR-250 Route 1 Traveler Lite Tour Trunk Bag. The weekender sits right in the middle of this one and the day trip bag i have.
Good job. Nice video. If you decide to do an “iron butt”, plan it out before hand. Don’t do it spontaneously. Pick your ending location and plan from there
for me personally the DCT feature defeats the purpose of riding a motorcycle. You're 100% right Honda and HD are 2 different experiences. I took a hard look at Honda and Indian before I purchased my new 2024 FLHTX Honda came in second but didnt like the DCT feature
@@scottscaneh thanks for watching. Just an fyi I got the DCT because I have a Harley as well. You can also opt for a 6 speed manual on the Gold wing and it’s cheaper.
Why I have seen so many goldwings turning Auto Start-Stop feature off? Isnt it more convinient on motorcycles? usually you dont want them in cars due to AC but in motorcycles seems kinda non-issue, so what gives? why disable it?
@@adonistandug7270 thanks for watching. The console liner worked fine as far as I remember but there were times on super hot days the phone did get hot especially with car play going.
It’s funny. I watched your channel years ago when it had a different name because of the Ryker. Now here I am again because we both bought identical Goldwings 😂 I had NO idea that you didn’t have to do a break in oil change!!! The dealer even told me to bring it in after 600 miles. I was so confused when I looked at the service intervals in my owners manual. I thought they must be typos. Thanks for the info!! One question though. Does Honda fill the oil themselves from the factory or is that up to the dealer? If it’s up to the dealer then it’s possible they used break in oil?
Hey thanks for watching. I found out as my dealer mentioned that to me before I looked at the user manual for the DCT only. The manual I think you have to get an oil change done at 1k. Not sure on the part where Honda fills or dealer does. I always thought that the dealer fills the liquids on the GW but could be wrong.
That mount is from Traxxion Dynamics called the Axxion Camera Mount for 2018+ Honda Goldwing. But beware you will have to modify by cutting a small part of the unpainted plastic cover that covers the screws on the mirror. Not a big deal but I didn't know that when I purchased this as it was supposed to come with a modified plastic cover 'until supplies last', and it didn't when I bought it. LoL
Just got my 2024 Goldwing” in October as of now I only have 1,400 miles. So while I was watching this video I was thinking shouldn’t I be getting an oil change? 😂
I know man been busy with work and family. Plus I need to buy a laptop to edit videos to make it easy since I still use my phone to edit and compressing hours of videos down to this time was overwhelming. Thanks for watching and good to hear from you.
Probably one of the most dangerous bikes out on the hwy if every rider is playing around with all the buttons every 2min….GW’s make Cellphone look like child’s play when it comes to distractions 🤣 Not to mention…riding in a group, everyone should be throw out the hand signals…just a gaggle of riders Don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful bike…but Holy Distractions Batman!
@ true..and would imagine the novelty would wear off, except for the basics …but still….how far these bikes have come is truly amazing and frightening (especially out of warranty) at the same time lol
Yeah it was cool actually, I was able to get some accessories installed and saved a bit of money. Surprisingly they had a few GW vendors at the Harley Dealership. Next one though is definitely on my Road Glide.
@@carlosnoriega113 hey hey don’t hate on the Tesla now. It has saved me a lot of money on my daily 79 mile commute to work. I also have a gas guzzler in the driveway and a Harley. I balance it out. Appreciate you watching the video.

Nothing like a good haul on. Gold Wing with good friends. I am smitten with the DCT! Great job out there. Videos are solid. Life is good.

@roadglide it was a wonderful time, Road Glide. Z, if you go, I'll run with you. No more than 350 miles per day, or I will just meet you there.🤣
@@roadglide thank you for the invite roadglide I might just do that one day. Maybe next year one of the long weekends.
@@GoldRyderOne LoL I hear ya. We can definitely plan that out in future.
This was a nice video! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Awesome video...but it seems some of those guys never rode with a group before. I hope y'all get to Sturgis safely

Thanks for watching and the tip. I have since had it serviced and all was good. But I do remember hearing that from people.
Yep.. mine was low by more than 2.5
They even didn't adjust tire pressure.
A month old 24 dct.
Is there going to be a day two video?
Great video!
Thank you for watching.
audio is great! i'd imagine the wind control is exceptional on this bike, did you have to do much with the microphone adjustment or placement?
Thank you. I think The dji mic2 I have is too close to my mouth I need to move it sideways a bit it almost sounds muffled at times. I have the magnet it comes with velcroed inside the helmet and the mic snaps on to that.

Welcome back. You've been away. Cheers
Thank you - been super busy with work but will try to edit all these videos I have so I can post them.
@@RideAboutNow Life happens my friend. 👌
Great video. Loving the GW. So bloody tempted to get a Matt Green down here (Dubai) but don’t think the dealer brings that colour at all.
Man the matt green does look sick but its only on the bagger and I think Dubai only gets the tour right? I lived in Dubai for 12 years never saw the GW bagger there. Thanks for watching.
@ ah nice. Small world indeed - you living in Dubai. Yes they don’t bring the bagger down here.
Great Video! Could you tell me what bag you have on the top case? Is that a Saddleman? And, what size? Thanks and keep the video coming!
Thanks for watching. It's a Nelson Rigg Route 1 Day Trip Backrest/Sissy Bar Rack Bag, got it from Amazon. Great quality for the price.

The sound you are hearing is more than likely is the fuel injectors. lOl
@@tennwingman3350 thanks for watching. I hear it on other GWs as well. Just seems loud compared to other touring bikes.

Panda's are from China, Gold Wings are from Japan. I think got the bike name wrong.
