    Them “Katie-Dids” are loud. We have them in the evenings…then the bull frogs come out. Can’t even have a conversation 😂

      Man I wish we’d get some damn rain so the bullfrogs would get loud. It ain’t rained in over a month.

    I think more folks are going with GoldWings. On the used market, it's a lot of bike for the money. Heck, on the new bike market, they're a deal compared to HD and Indian. I happy to see more GW content as well.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you Eric! Yes sir, used Wings are a steal and they last forever! Bike prices are astronomical as of late! Thanks for watching my friend!

    I'll answer your question with a question. Are people finally waking up to the fact that the GW is THE premier motorcycle, with incredible power, speed, features, reliability, comfort and VALUE relative to anything else on the market of equal use? My fellow Valkie, Rick, catches hell all the time from his motorcycle club because he rides a Valk (even though he owns a Harley too) and they ask him why. That's like the age old Harley meme - if I have to explain, you wouldn't understand. Rick even toyed with riding his Harley on this ride, but then said "Nah, I think I'll ride the Valk for reliability's sake". 'Nuff said!
    I enjoy seeing you having a little sippy for a change! Yeh, I saw you looking at me! 😃
    Rick and I are getting fired up for our trip. We've both bought a bunch of riding gear from Amazon. I have new shoes on the princess and the BrakeAway cruise. All that's left is charging the gadgetry and packing. Kick stands up next Thursday morning. We're hitting Wheels Through Time, then Cherokee NC for two nights, then Tail of the Dragon, then home. I will be worn out and have a painfully sore butt, but it will be the ride of my lifetime. Five days of riding, sightseeing and enjoying life.
    I haven't posted any videos in months because I'm so frustrated with the audio side and have such fits getting things to work with an outboard mic. So I'm bringing both GoPros with me to put one on the helmet and one on the bars. I hope to have some good stuff, but even if the videos don't work, I'll at least have some professional shots from the Dragon and a thousand good stills from my cell.
    Glad you got some time to yourself. Hope when work changes to so many hours you still find time for #1. It's important. Tongue click and fingers pointed back atcha! 🏍🏍🏍🍺😜🥃☝👍🕶😎👉🎧🍔

      You and Rick might make some guys sour when you prove to them that the Valkyrie is more American than their Harleys, lol! I'd much rather have a Wing or Valk than a bike from a woke 'bud light' company owned chiefly by a WEF affiliate, aka Blackrock ( * cough* HD *cough* ). Anyway, ride safe on your trip man, and above all, have fun! Keep the rubber down, MLLH&R.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +2

      Man Craig I can always count on you to show that flat 6 cylinder love! The Valkyrie and the Goldwing are 2 very amazing machines that just perform so well! I hope you’re doing well my friend and I hope you get those audio issues sorted out. Thanks for your continued support and for the feedback!

    Cross shopped a Goldwing with the road glide/street glide. Ended up with a ‘21 Goldwing bagger! Stock power is better and handles like a big sport bike. My other bikes are a CB1100 and I had an Indian FTR. The jump to a Goldwing felt natural

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +1

      That’s awesome! You have a great stable of bikes. The Wing is just a great machine. Thanks for watching!

  • @GoofyBastard
    @GoofyBastard 11 месяцев назад +3

    The Goldwing is a great bike. When I was looking for new bikes earlier in the year, I considered one. Then I decided I didn’t need to go with a full touring bike.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +1

      You got a badass bike though! If the Wing was louder I’d be totally content. That’s my only issue. Thanks for watching sir!

    Got a 2023 cause the manufacturer has had my 19 for almost a year now. Hate the sound without the egg exhaust on it. But good news is that it is built and I should have two sets at the end of the month. Then I will be able to have all I need for the website as the get production line up. Almost here.

  • @truckinbiker
    @truckinbiker 11 месяцев назад +4

    If you break it down by price vs power and reliability.. Goldwing is gonna win every time. No it doesn't have the prestige, but it doesn't have the price tag either. Great videos man

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you my friend. I completely agree that pound for pound the Wing is the top dog! It just doesn’t look as pretty as the other bikes do!

  • @freebirdsgarage
    @freebirdsgarage 11 месяцев назад +3

    Lol Whisper wagon...you're right on everyone moving on the Goldwing. It's the best bang for the buck full touring you can get. Hard argue with facts, but your Goldwing will always be the OG when I see any out and about.👊

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +2

      Whisper Wagon is too quiet but I love it! Man I appreciate the support and the kind words Jay. The Wings are a great value and are worth a look.

  • @tjclarke4604
    @tjclarke4604 11 месяцев назад +3

    I am a big fan of the Wing. You are right, hard to beat the sound of the twin, but at the end of the day, I don't really care about sound, that flat 6 is the champ. I have a Wing and a Valk, dang man, they both get more attention than any of the others at shows.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +2

      The Wing is absolutely amazing! Hard to beat it and the Valkyrie for what they are able to do! Thanks for watching TJ!

    I paired it down to pursuit and goldwing. What pushed me to the indian side was that honda wouldn't let me test ride it or the used one they had. Every time I go into indian they will throw me keys to any new or used bike they have. Honda is 5 minutes from my house, and Indian is an hour and I still ended up with the indian. To this day I still haven't gotten to ride a goldwing sadly because I bet they are great.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +2

      Man the Pursuit is really the one bike that has tempted me to leave my Wing. They are an amazing bike. Honda pisses me off with their test ride bull crap. Wings are great bikes but people gotta ride them to find out. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

    @MinnowMoto 11 месяцев назад +3

    Those bugs are crazy. They were all over Maryland last year. Gold Wings are great looking bikes. With the Honda Brand behind it, you know they will run forever. Are they all DCT now? I think I would have to ride one before signing on the dotted line. Those F6Bs are sharp looking.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +1

      So they still have the non DCT where you get a manual clutch and transmission. But plenty of Wing riders love that DCT… I do not! Yeah the cicada bugs around here are a major annoyance! Thanks for the comment and for watching sir!

    I installed the Goldstrike highway pegs last night, good stuff 😎 Coming from the V-Twin world its a BIG ass change riding the 2018 Wing, but I love the thing and my wife, she's like queen of the world sitting up in that passenger section 🤣

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +1

      Those Highway pegs make a huge difference! Yeah, coming from a v-twin to the flat 6 cylinder is a huge change. My wife loves mine too! Says it’s crazy comfortable. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

    The Cicada's sound didn't come through so all is good!!! Either that or didn't hear them due to tinnitus which sound like them anyway... 🤣

    @jd9308 11 месяцев назад +1

    I'm better late than never Smitty. I to am behind a lil' bit too! I can see why maybe more Wingers are sailing down the roads. You can't beat the motorcycle you get for the price point. It's ready to roll around the world straight outta the box! They're just to big and heavy for my old to try to ride anymore. I go with the small cruiser class. That way if I drop it I can pick it back up myself lol! Try and stay cool in hot Tx and stay safe on that Wing Cadi!

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you JD! I’m with you, when the time comes a Wing is too big for me to ride I’ll go with a cruiser or a Goldwing Trike. As long as you’re riding and happy then that’s what matters. Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!

    I take it your wanting the pursuit for the V-Twin? As for Sturgis 2025, that will be great to see.. PM s videos of Sturgis are always great... I would imagine you would have to book the cabin now for 2025 just to be sure.. whenever the wife and I book vacation up north we booked the cabin a year in advance at least.. great video. Look forward to more content when you got time. Big guy!

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад

      I like the Pursuit for the v-twin sound and feel. But the Wing is just too smooth for me to walk away from. Oh I’m booking it ASAP. Right now they won’t let me book it 2 years out… but I’ll get it done quickly for sure! Thanks for watching and for the feedback Jack!

    Honda has always made better bikes and with the popularity of the Goldwing and the Shadow you would think there would be more channels on here representing Honda but all you find is HD, it is hard to find moto RUclips channels that are not HD even shadetree at times goes to being more about HD. The V65 Shadetree has now that is an awesome bike I remember them when they came out back when I was... younger, I like Chey's new Goldwing, a little jealous, I have to say I really thought she was going to buy the white ST1300.

    • @BigSmittyRiding
      @BigSmittyRiding  11 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah, the HD's dominate the RUclips scene. Honda does make great bikes that are extremely dependable, powerful and have great handling. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
