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 .
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.
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 .
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Well thank you Krispyk. And prayers to your family as well. I hope all goes well with your wife and recovery time is fast. Thanks for watching and please ride safe. 🙏
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.
🤣🤣👍 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. mosmotorcyclejourney@gmail.com
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.
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 ...
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.
Well thank you for the nice comment. And yes you are very right about cancer. I finally got the wife connected to my camera so we are in the process of making a video. Thanks for watching and please be safe out there 👍
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.
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. 👍
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 🙏🏾
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.
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.
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 👍
@@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.
Just stumbled across your video. Praying for your wife. You are the definition of a real man! Awesome seeing you care about your wife, son, and talking about God. I happily subscribed and can’t wait to watch more. My wife is my best friend. I can not imagine the emotions you had!
Thank you Big sky. Sounds like you know how I feel. My wife is also my best friend and I can't imagine life without her. All things are possible if you have faith. Hopefully you subscribed so you will hear an update about her. Thanks for the kind words sir 🙏 very much appreciated. Ride safe and thanks for watching and the kind comments.
Stumbled across this video of you and David's trip from Texas back to home from picking up your GW. I like watching videos like yours (this one in particular) as I am saving some money to try and buy a GW Trike. So watching your videos gives me the chance to ride a bike without being on one.....lol.
I've just came across this video was really good. I hope your wife is well Mo..wishing you an family God's love an protection to be upon you at all times.!
I am in shock .!!!! I apologize, been little busy with work , i tap on you tube , bam there buying something new ......prayers , for the wife ....i love the color. ...silver ...
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 been so busy , with work , and landscaping around the house , you know , wife wants mulch, so got that done . Resting the back now . .....but no i have gotten back , making a call tomorrow, and get a final up date . ..... took a ride on the 86 , and just getting the last minute bugs out of her .......she's a project bike.
Awesome trip w/ your boy. He will always remember this trip. And so will U! Really like your channel. God be the glory that we can ride our wings when we want to. Its been so time since your video but I hope all is well with your wife. Prayers to ya both.
Before saying anything. Prayers to your wife and pray all is good. Congratulations on your Goldwing and nice road trip with your son. I am planning to ride Harley-Davidson trike from AZ To AK.
My wife and I are doing our first big Goldwing trip this summer from Ontario Canada to Nova Scotia, our east coast! 2500mi round trip. Best wishes to Shannon in all this, sending good vibes to you guys.
Thank you Colin. We need all the wishes. And very much appreciate it. Wow 2500 miles. That's gonna be a trip to remember. And you are all going to have a great time. 👍 that's like twice what I did. Wow. Thanks for watching and the kind words. Please ride safe and have a great time when you go.
Mo, thanks for another great video and I pray for your wife’s positive medical report. Like you, I bought a Gold Wing in Joplin, MO and rode it home to NC last month. Planning a trip from NC to CO at the end of July. Let me know if you plan any trips my way and I’ll buy you and the wife dinner. Ride safe and keep the videos rolling.
Thank you Douglas. And thank you for watching. So you bought a bike in Joplin? And then rode it home. 🤣 seems like alot of people do that. Well at least riders do it. Some people ship em. Lol. I bet that was a great ride. I appreciate the kind words and support about my wife. We should know anytime now if it is cancer. But the Dr. was very positive it wasnt. But we all know doctors can be wrong. 🤣🤣👍 i will keep that in mind if i ever come that way. I will definitelylet you know sir. Thanks for viewing Douglas and please be safe out there. 👍
Prayers for Shannon hope everything turns out alright and thanks to you and David for taking us along on the ride really enjoyed watching haven't had my bikes out yet haven't had any good weather it's snowing here tonight in New Brunswick Canada getting a couple inches good luck with the bike looks very nice take care and ride safe thanks again
Thank you Tom. Yeah its still cold here in Michigan. It goes back and forth. 65 one day then 35 the next 4 days. I'm so tired of the cold and I am ready for spring. We had some light snow yesterday so I know how you feel. Its coming as in the warm weather. Thank you for the positive comment Tom. We need all the prayers we can get. And thank you for watching. When you do get the bikes out please ride safe sir 👍 Hope our paths cross one day.
First time finding your channel, Here is all the prayers for your wife my friend. I will be doing the double this summer, Going from Columbus Oh. to Austin Tx. to visit my youngest brother and his family. Then the trip back, should be amazing.
Will be praying for your wife with Gods help everything will be fine. Congratulation on your new bike half the fun is the ride the other half is having your son with you. Just keep smiling and riding, stopping and checking out the views is just a reason to go back. Just want to say it looks great and if you like it I love it. Ride your ride and be as safe as you can just watch out for the moron. Stay safe my brother until next time, ride with pride and stay blessed.
Prayers to you and your family. Thanks for taking us along. I hope we can ride together some day. Got my son started riding. He's got a trip planned for us to western Montana.
Prayers for you and your family Mo! Wishing your wife a speedy recovery. I really hate to hear that. I would have rode my bike home too. Again, nice bike. Can’t wait to see those add on videos
Just picked up a '97 SE on the 22nd. but man! That orange is SO COOL of a color! It was windy in the thumb that day too so you weren't alone. Congrats on the bike. Prayers to you, your son and your wife.
Thank you Zlittle16. Sounds like a nice bike. I love the 1500s especially the SE. Great choice and yes it was windy. But I kept the wheels turning. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 ride safe my friend.
Good looking new bike, Mo! I've been working on getting the 1500 ready for my son and I to take it from Washington state to Montana. Can't wait to hit the road..
Oh wow. Thats going to be a ride to remember. I'm excited for you. Please ride safe on your trip and make some great memories. 👍 thanks for the comment sir 🙏
Hi mo, an epic trip collecting the new bike,well done to David, mission accomplished I say, bike looks great. 5 of us (inc my wife) are riding from uk to tavulia in Italy in July, 10day tour, can’t wait. Our thoughts are with your family. Be strong mrs mo, ps, subs are increasing and I’m glad for you.🇬🇧👍
Thank you Gary. Yeah subs are going faster then I thought they would. I must be doing something right. 🤔 wow a 10 day tour. Sounds like alot of fun. Wish we lived closer to one another. Would love to join you all. And it would make a great video riding in a different country. David did great with all we did in 2 days. I believe he will be a rider as well when he grows up. Very proud of him. My wife is doing alot better now. They removed and sent a polyp to the lab to be tested for cancer and will know in a day or 2. Thank you for your kind words and support 🙏 . As always sir ride safe, tell the wife we all say hi and take care. Thanks again for viewing. 👍🇺🇸😁
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 Glad to hear it. Yea, my M109R is down right now, need to correct something in it's Power Commander, Flash the ECU, Dyno it, and get some new spark plugs in, else I'd be riding already. It is too late for myself to ride safe: I wrecked my 1800 VTX, doing a hundred on a curve. Rest it's soul... along with my shoulder. Please always wear a helmet.
@@uvexeorozahagan5385 OMG. In glad you were ok other then the shoulder. That's a fast speed to take a spill. Bikes are replaceable. We are not. So thank God you are good to keep riding. 🙏 thanks for watching as well. Hope you replace her soon.
@@uvexeorozahagan5385 I love the boulevard m109. If I ever got another bike other then a goldwing it would be the blue or pearl white m109. Great choice. 👍 ride safe and thanks for the reply.
New sub, I seen the vid where you bought your Dad pearl.Prayers to the wife. Haven't ridden in 33 yrs, recently got interested in the Gold Wings.I kinda like the dct but we'll see.Happy trails you...
God will take you through the storm, praying for your wife and family, stay strong brother and that's a really nice wing you got there so with that said ride the wind don't let the wind ride you, get home to mama safe and sound.
Very nice video and hope the family gets well. I am in Pontiac Mi heading down to the Natchez trace trail. Then over to the Blue Ridge parkway. I leave Sat the 7th. Approx 3000 miles om a F6B goldwing. Just installed a Russel Day Long seat. I love the vid and it is great your son rides along. Enjoy and stay safe. Bob
Thank you Bob. You are just on the other side of the state from me. Im by South Haven. Sounds like you have an awesome trip planned the 7th and you are gonna have a great time. 👍 You are on the right bike for it, and you will enjoy that seat. Bob thanks for viewing and please be safe on your trip. Sounds like alot of fun.
Very interesting trip,I find it great as I'm riding r66 in September,with an experienced group,as it's a charity event to support children's health,coming from Ireland I'm trying to get my mind around the vastness of crossing from Chicago to los Angeles in 14 days.thanks fir your video.
Prayers for your wife. My wife just completed her chemo and will be starting radiation. She had Stage 1 breast cancer and caught it early Thank God! I hope everything works out fine for her.
OMG. I'm so sorry to hear this. And prayers to you and your wife. I'm glad to hear you caught it early. Thank you for watching and please keep safe. God bless 🙏
Glad you made it back home safely. Prayers for Shannon, hope she gets better quickly. Nice to see some different parts of the country. I am not too far from Choctaw county. About 50 or so miles west. Miss the BBQ in Texas, hope to get back down south soon. Anyway, great video as always, glad David survived. Keep the shiny side up brother. See you in your next video.
Thank you John. And thanks for the prayers 🙏 . I was very suprised with David. He will he a rider when he grows up. Your not too far from where I was? Yeah I would of spent more time down there and also let people know I was going to be riding a certain route but I needed to get back as soon as I could because I had to take her in to her appointment. Next time I guess. I will be back because that was fun and would love to do that ride again. John I thank you for you kind words and for viewing, please be safe.
FREAKING OUTSTANDING! You made a great choice in the bike, and driving on the road. I wanted a 2015 model, but I was to cheap to kick out the extra cash, and got a 2008. I sent you a email recently, and I understand about your wife take good care of her these things can be unpredictable. I'll be waiting to hear from you wish you could have stop by Louisville, KY, and talked, and rode north for a little bit. 11/2/2022
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.
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.
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
Good evening, young man. I watch your clips and enjoy them tremendously. Especially viewing how you spend time with your son. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. I am a pastor and we have great healing @ our assembly. I have prayed for your wife. And I believe and know that God will heal her. Never give up on hope, Sir. Trying to see if your goldwing is still for sale. If it is give me a text back or either on my Gmail. Once again enjoyed your clips. Be safe. Everything will work out just fine sir.
Great that you took your young son with you. Trips like that male for great memories. Nice bike too. I'm planning a semi-solo trip this summer from the Canadian prairies thru the rocky Mountains and northern British Columbia. Heading out on my own, meeting my wife in BC and then bringing her home with me on our new 2021 HD Ultra Limited. Total will be somewhere around 3000 miles over a period of 2 weeks or so.
Your 5th wing. It may not be your last. You have many more years of riding left in ya. However a goldwing is a great machine built to last and keep running. Thanks for the comment and please ride safe out there.
Hope all goes well with your wife. I'm also in Michigan. I'm going to take a trip in August. My job is shutting down then. I'm finally going to be able to go on a well deserved vacation. 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!
Wow Brian. Sounds like you have some big plans for a great ride. 👍 a ride like that will be something you will never forget. Thank you for your kind words for my family and I wish I was riding with you on a trip like you have planned. I guess I should look some of this up. 🤔 the mountains would be great to ride through. U have never done that. Anyways thanks for watching and the comment please be safe out there.
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
Will be taking my forth daughter on her long trip this summer. I have taken two of her sisters on their own trips and have greatly enjoyed them. This trip will start in Jul and has three main National Park stops. Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and Yosemite. We leave out from Deland, FL and heading to Glacier with overnight stops in Nashville, Kansas City, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, Devils Tower, Then Glacier. Three days there then off to Yellowstone. Spend three days in Yellowstone off to Yosemite with stops in Salt Lake City then down the loneliest hwy in America old section of Lincoln hwy 50 in Nevada. After Yosemite we start back to Florida. Via Death Valley to Las Vegas. Then to Winslow, AZ , next El Paso, TX on old route 666 now known as 191 in AZ. Next to San Antonio, TX with a visit to the Alamo then dinner at the Chart House revolving restaurant atop the 700'+ tower. Next New Orleans ghost tours, cajun food and coffee with beignet. Next Jacksonville, FL dinner with the other daughters and great conversation next morning back in Deland, FL for a total 9000+ miles 4 National Parks numerous points of interest and a life time of memories.
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
You are absolutely right. And you are welcome. I will the next video. 😅👍. I planned on a new intro for this video however it has been 35 degrees and i haven't had it out since. And I had alot of subs waiting for this video. So I just wanted to get it out there. Thanks for your comment 👍 and please be safe.
Really enjoyed this trip, good father son time. I would do this with my daughters with our GL1500 and 2003 FLHTPI that I had made as comfortable as the Wing. I'm contemplating the purchase of another GL1500 I found today. I think with the meds, back support I might get some more years. But I'm also trying to get another house north of M55, off of M18.
Thanks Dale. It was a great time and I had alot of fun with my son. I believe he is gonna be a rider when he grows up. I was very impressed he handled the 1100 miles in 2 days without winning 🤣🤣 . 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.
We been waiting for this video man. That's awesome that you brought your son with bet you guys had a blast. Hoping the best for your wife man. My wife is going through some medical stuff herself, she goes in for surgery in a few weeks yo have a bunch of tumors removed .
Well first of all I hope all goes well with your wife. Your family will be in our prayers. And thank you for your caring and support Richard. It's very much appreciated 🙏 . Be safe, God bless and keep in touch.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 hopefully everything will work out for both our families. I'm also hoping we will both be able to find some time this sumer to meet up one of these weekends. The only trip I have planmed so far for this year. Is going to visit by buddy up north in Land o lakes Wisconsin . It's about a five hour ride and I'm sure once I'm there we will do some more ridding up north. Hey if you have never ridden to Sturgis you need to. I rode up there a few years back with my buddie Just make sure you go when the rally isn't in town. It was a beautiful ride with nothing but open roads and great scenery.
@@Davidsmithisyourdad I hope so too Richard. And yes you have my email. So you can reach me anytime. Plus I can send you my number when you have some time this summer. We are not too far from each other. And would love too me up sometime. I have heard that before about Sturgis. And I think I will plan a trip that way this summer. At least drive thru. Thank you sir.
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
last year about the same time I picked up a 2019 gl1800 ( new old-stock ) flew to Iowa rode it back ( 360 miles to Michigan ) I have put over 8000 miles in that riding season and have no complaints, ride safe
It's not always that you get some alone time with your son especially when they're still young that's something you both will talk about years from now. Glad you made it home safely especially worrying about your wife the whole time. The bike looks to be in great shape but what do you expect it's a Honda I know I have one.. don't ride that often but I get out every now and then but can't go far as I have a bad back from a fall ten years ago and get really sore from setting or standing so I keep moving. Hope your wife has a clean bill of health afterwards. Be careful and ride safe my friend God love ❤ ya
Thank you Ken. I'm sorry to hear about your fall from 10 yrs ago. My father struggles with a simular injury and can't sit or stand too long. But atleast you can get out and enjoy a little time on it. Thank you for watching and the nice comment. I had a great time and it's been a week since I got it and this kid of mine is still talking about it. 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. But then again maybe i would have considering that would have been time spent with my Pops. Anyways please stay safe and ride when you can. 🙏👍 take care my friend.
Prayers for your wife my friend!! 🙏 I dont know what part of Michigan your located but ide love to meet up for a ride sometime this summer if your ever up near my neck of the woods!! Sending you and yours all the good vibez and good wishes. Keep the rubber side down and shiny side up 😎
I've been told "An Iron Butt ride on a 'wing is cheating" to which I replied YEP! best wishes for the wife.. and I can almost bet the kiddo loved the trip and will remember it for the rest of his life.. I remember riding behind my mom and my step-dad growing up (mom rode her own).. and I still love riding..
The kid loved it. And we just talked about the iron butt. And he said he would do it with me. He had a great time on the trip and wants to do that again. My dad got me into riding. However your either a rider or not. And i believe after that trip im a rider. And it's not cheating on a wing. Just riding in comfort. Yeah I was so comfortable riding back. Never knew the 2012-2017 were different then the 2001-2010 in ride, seat, and handling. Great bike. 👍 thanks for the kind words and please ride safe. Thanks for watching
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 I don't remember that much difference between my '08 and my '14 other than what could be attributed to used vrs new.. my '19 is different some good some not so much.. the seat being the not so much... but gonna get that fixed with a Russell Day-Long saddle and probably an aftermarket windscreen... I don't mind a bit more wind being down here in Texas.. and riding in the rain on the '19 I only get damp around the edges..
@@mnewstadt1 well Mitch. Maybe that's the difference. 🤣🤣 new over old. My 02 is 20 yrs old and the seat I have now is way more comfortable then my 02. They also did a minor suspension upgrade in 2012. Front and rear. So I'm told fron honda. It seems to have a more controlled lean. But maybe it's just because its newer. I was told the 2018 and up had a hard seat. Anyways thanks for the reply and enjoy your day and weekend sir. Ride safe.
thoughts and prayers for your wife and your family (new subscriber 12 min into your vid soo far ) just bought my first goldwing and saw u have a lot on them
Well thanks for subscribing and following along. What kind or I should say year goldwing did you get? And congrats 👏 on the purchase. Thanks for watching 👍
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.
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 RUclips . 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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a trip planned from Dallas to San Diego LA, Vegas, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma then home. 4000 miles and I’m doing it iron butt style in 3 days. Funny part is I’m leaving the wing at home and taking my Burgman. All my riding buddies say I’m crazy so I’m going solo. My only concern will be sleeping next to the bike at rest stops 😳. Love the new ride! Hope your wife is doing good and I’ll keep you all in my prayers.
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.
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. 👍
All the best to your wife MO and just so happened we are planning a trip in the next 2 months between June and July leaving out of North Carolina stopping by Oklahoma City on our way to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming for one week and I pray all goes well for your wife as seems to be daily someone's going through the same thing that your wife is that I know but I will keep you in my prayers and I have an 06 Goldwing that I have also redone but I'm going to keep it for a while I also do not like the new Goldwing I will keep an old one as long as I can😁
Hello from the DFW Metromess. Yeppers on the IBA, I was never interested. Then they did one nearby and a charity would benefit, so finish or not it would help others. And yes I made it. Ride safe.
We usually do two or three long trips a year. This week I’m riding my wife’s bike from Ontario 🇨🇦 to Florida. She is flying down. Mine spent the winter there and we are riding home together. Then in September we are shipping the bikes to Colorado and riding Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Two weeks and then we ship them home again.
Wow Peter. I was amazed at what I did. You got me beat in 1 trip. 🤣🤣. Well please ride down safe. I never rode in Colorado before. I bet thats a great state to ride in. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍 please take care.
Hi Mo, what a great trip for you and your son. I’d love to do a ride with you, I also have the orange 2007 GL1800. I’m in southern illinois and am planning a coast to coast trip next spring.
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 .
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.
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 .
Thank you. Very much appreciated. Made it home great. Loved the ride. Thanks for watching 👍
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
Mo, I have met u, but I see ur a great father and husband. You're everybody's hero. Great job.
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.
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.
Well thank you Krispyk. And prayers to your family as well. I hope all goes well with your wife and recovery time is fast. Thanks for watching and please ride safe. 🙏
My prayer to wife I have a black gl1800 Goldwing and old gl1500 red one I love them both...b safe
Father and son trip, just awesome, the memories will be beautiful and the bike is beautiful!
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.
🤣🤣👍 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. mosmotorcyclejourney@gmail.com
I will do this same thing one day, thank you for the motivation. I didn't think anyone would do this lol.
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.
Mo, man my heart goes out to you and your family. I'm sending prayers 🙏🏾 up for your wife bruh. Take care and God Bless.
Thank you Jon. Vary much appreciated. You be safe as well sir. God Bless
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 ...
Prayers for your wife. Me and my brother bought GWs! Love them. Don't know if we'd be brave enough to travel 1100 miles. lol
Thanks for the prayers 🙏 . It was a great trip and would do it again if I could. 🤣🤣 thanks for watching and please ride safe.
Always a blessing getting to ride with your son
Prayers for Shannon. Beautiful Gold Wing.
Thank you Albert. And thanks for watching
Awesome video brother. Congrats on the new and improved wing. Prayers for the wife. I will keep you guys n my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.
Thank you Into the sunset. It's a nice bike. And thank you for your kind words and support. It's very much appreciated. Ride safe. 👍
Praying for your wife 🙏 and congratulations on your new ride awesome video
@@dennisjohnson294 thank you Dennis. That is very much appreciated 🙏
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.
Well thank you for the nice comment. And yes you are very right about cancer. I finally got the wife connected to my camera so we are in the process of making a video. Thanks for watching and please be safe out there 👍
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.
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. 👍
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 🙏🏾
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.
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.
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 👍
@@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.
Just stumbled across your video. Praying for your wife. You are the definition of a real man! Awesome seeing you care about your wife, son, and talking about God. I happily subscribed and can’t wait to watch more. My wife is my best friend. I can not imagine the emotions you had!
Thank you Big sky. Sounds like you know how I feel. My wife is also my best friend and I can't imagine life without her. All things are possible if you have faith. Hopefully you subscribed so you will hear an update about her. Thanks for the kind words sir 🙏 very much appreciated. Ride safe and thanks for watching and the kind comments.
Absolutely I subscribed and hit the bell. I am following you now.

Enjoyed your ride. Beautiful bike. Prayers for your wife.
Thanks Dannie. Very much appreciated 🙏 thanks for viewing 👍
Thanks for the inspiration. My son is 4, and I hope to do the same sometime in the future. Great choice on bike too!
Thanks Matthew 👍. It was a great time spent with him and memories to last a lifetime. Thanks for watching and the comment. Be safe.
Mo love the video and channel. Your a brave man. That’s a long distance to ride. 👍👍❤️
Thank you. Very much appreciated.
Stumbled across this video of you and David's trip from Texas back to home from picking up your GW. I like watching videos like yours (this one in particular) as I am saving some money to try and buy a GW Trike. So watching your videos gives me the chance to ride a bike without being on one.....lol.
I've just came across this video was really good. I hope your wife is well Mo..wishing you an family God's love an protection to be upon you at all times.!
I am in shock .!!!! I apologize, been little busy with work , i tap on you tube , bam there buying something new ......prayers , for the wife ....i love the color. ...silver ...
Thanks Edgardo 👍 I was wondering where you been. Haven't heard anything from you lately. I hope all is well. Hopefully you got your bike back by now.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 been so busy , with work , and landscaping around the house , you know , wife wants mulch, so got that done . Resting the back now . .....but no i have gotten back , making a call tomorrow, and get a final up date . ..... took a ride on the 86 , and just getting the last minute bugs out of her .......she's a project bike.
@@edgardomatos7742 oh yeah. I have a honey do list as well 🤣🤣👍 . Hopefully they are close to having her set for you.
Awesome trip w/ your boy. He will always remember this trip. And so will U! Really like your channel. God be the glory that we can ride our wings when we want to. Its been so time since your video but I hope all is well with your wife. Prayers to ya both.
Before saying anything. Prayers to your wife and pray all is good.
Congratulations on your Goldwing and nice road trip with your son. I am planning to ride Harley-Davidson trike from AZ To AK.

My wife and I are doing our first big Goldwing trip this summer from Ontario Canada to Nova Scotia, our east coast! 2500mi round trip. Best wishes to Shannon in all this, sending good vibes to you guys.
Thank you Colin. We need all the wishes. And very much appreciate it. Wow 2500 miles. That's gonna be a trip to remember. And you are all going to have a great time. 👍 that's like twice what I did. Wow. Thanks for watching and the kind words. Please ride safe and have a great time when you go.
Mo, thanks for another great video and I pray for your wife’s positive medical report. Like you, I bought a Gold Wing in Joplin, MO and rode it home to NC last month. Planning a trip from NC to CO at the end of July. Let me know if you plan any trips my way and I’ll buy you and the wife dinner. Ride safe and keep the videos rolling.
Thank you Douglas. And thank you for watching. So you bought a bike in Joplin? And then rode it home. 🤣 seems like alot of people do that. Well at least riders do it. Some people ship em. Lol. I bet that was a great ride. I appreciate the kind words and support about my wife. We should know anytime now if it is cancer. But the Dr. was very positive it wasnt. But we all know doctors can be wrong. 🤣🤣👍 i will keep that in mind if i ever come that way. I will definitelylet you know sir. Thanks for viewing Douglas and please be safe out there. 👍
Prayers for Shannon hope everything turns out alright and thanks to you and David for taking us along on the ride really enjoyed watching haven't had my bikes out yet haven't had any good weather it's snowing here tonight in New Brunswick Canada getting a couple inches good luck with the bike looks very nice take care and ride safe thanks again
Thank you Tom. Yeah its still cold here in Michigan. It goes back and forth. 65 one day then 35 the next 4 days. I'm so tired of the cold and I am ready for spring. We had some light snow yesterday so I know how you feel. Its coming as in the warm weather. Thank you for the positive comment Tom. We need all the prayers we can get. And thank you for watching. When you do get the bikes out please ride safe sir 👍 Hope our paths cross one day.
First time finding your channel, Here is all the prayers for your wife my friend. I will be doing the double this summer, Going from Columbus Oh. to Austin Tx. to visit my youngest brother and his family. Then the trip back, should be amazing.
Thank you Henry. Very much appreciated. Sounds like you have a long one planned. That's gonna be alot of fun. Be safe sir and thanks for watching 👍
Wow ! - what a Journey and you are a good story teller 👏👏👍
Will be praying for your wife with Gods help everything will be fine. Congratulation on your new bike half the fun is the ride the other half is having your son with you. Just keep smiling and riding, stopping and checking out the views is just a reason to go back. Just want to say it looks great and if you like it I love it. Ride your ride and be as safe as you can just watch out for the moron. Stay safe my brother until next time, ride with pride and stay blessed.
Envy, envy,envy I wish I could but work and family enjoy your self life is short

Got my son started riding. He's got a trip planned for us to western Montana.
Prayers 🙏 and Good Vibes your way to heal Mrs Mo.
Take care brother.
Thank you Timothy. Thanks for watching as well. Be safe. 👍
Prayers for you and your family Mo! Wishing your wife a speedy recovery. I really hate to hear that. I would have rode my bike home too. Again, nice bike. Can’t wait to see those add on videos
Thanks Albert. 👍 that was the best choice for me and it was alot of fun. Be safe sir.
Just picked up a '97 SE on the 22nd. but man! That orange is SO COOL of a color! It was windy in the thumb that day too so you weren't alone. Congrats on the bike. Prayers to you, your son and your wife.
Thank you Zlittle16. Sounds like a nice bike. I love the 1500s especially the SE. Great choice and yes it was windy. But I kept the wheels turning. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 ride safe my friend.
Good looking new bike, Mo! I've been working on getting the 1500 ready for my son and I to take it from Washington state to Montana. Can't wait to hit the road..
Oh wow. Thats going to be a ride to remember. I'm excited for you. Please ride safe on your trip and make some great memories. 👍 thanks for the comment sir 🙏
Hi mo, an epic trip collecting the new bike,well done to David, mission accomplished I say, bike looks great. 5 of us (inc my wife) are riding from uk to tavulia in Italy in July, 10day tour, can’t wait. Our thoughts are with your family. Be strong mrs mo, ps, subs are increasing and I’m glad for you.🇬🇧👍
Thank you Gary. Yeah subs are going faster then I thought they would. I must be doing something right. 🤔 wow a 10 day tour. Sounds like alot of fun. Wish we lived closer to one another. Would love to join you all. And it would make a great video riding in a different country. David did great with all we did in 2 days. I believe he will be a rider as well when he grows up. Very proud of him. My wife is doing alot better now. They removed and sent a polyp to the lab to be tested for cancer and will know in a day or 2. Thank you for your kind words and support 🙏 . As always sir ride safe, tell the wife we all say hi and take care. Thanks again for viewing. 👍🇺🇸😁
The Lord will protect you and your wife and family. Just Give it to him! God. Bless brother from La coste Texas
I'm glad to see you enjoying the majestic Goldwing.
I did and am today. Finally some warmer weather here in Michigan. Thanks for watching and please ride safe. 👍
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 Glad to hear it. Yea, my M109R is down right now, need to correct something in it's Power Commander, Flash the ECU, Dyno it, and get some new spark plugs in, else I'd be riding already.
It is too late for myself to ride safe: I wrecked my 1800 VTX, doing a hundred on a curve. Rest it's soul... along with my shoulder.
Please always wear a helmet.
@@uvexeorozahagan5385 OMG. In glad you were ok other then the shoulder. That's a fast speed to take a spill. Bikes are replaceable. We are not. So thank God you are good to keep riding. 🙏 thanks for watching as well. Hope you replace her soon.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 Replaced her 2 months after, with an 1800 2015 M109R Boulevard.
Thanks amigo
@@uvexeorozahagan5385 I love the boulevard m109. If I ever got another bike other then a goldwing it would be the blue or pearl white m109. Great choice. 👍 ride safe and thanks for the reply.
New sub, I seen the vid where you bought your Dad pearl.Prayers to the wife. Haven't ridden in 33 yrs, recently got interested in the Gold Wings.I kinda like the dct but we'll see.Happy trails you...
Prayers for the wife. Sorry to hear your selling your 2002 wing. Love that orange bike.I am on a 800+ miles right now.
Thank you for the prayers. Very much appreciated. Sounds like you got the wheels turning so please ride safe D. Rider. Thanks for watching
God will take you through the storm, praying for your wife and family, stay strong brother and that's a really nice wing you got there so with that said ride the wind don't let the wind ride you, get home to mama safe and sound.
Thanks Brandon. Very much appreciated. I like your wind theory. And your right. Thanks for watching and the kind words. Ride safe.
As always, another great video. Nice looking ride.
Very nice video and hope the family gets well. I am in Pontiac Mi heading down to the Natchez trace trail. Then over to the Blue Ridge parkway. I leave Sat the 7th. Approx 3000 miles om a F6B goldwing. Just installed a Russel Day Long seat. I love the vid and it is great your son rides along. Enjoy and stay safe. Bob
Thank you Bob. You are just on the other side of the state from me. Im by South Haven. Sounds like you have an awesome trip planned the 7th and you are gonna have a great time. 👍 You are on the right bike for it, and you will enjoy that seat. Bob thanks for viewing and please be safe on your trip. Sounds like alot of fun.
Very interesting trip,I find it great as I'm riding r66 in September,with an experienced group,as it's a charity event to support children's health,coming from Ireland I'm trying to get my mind around the vastness of crossing from Chicago to los Angeles in 14 days.thanks fir your video.
Wow Charles. That's a long trip. However you have 14 days to do it in. You are gonna have alot of fun. Be safe and thanks for watching 👍
Prayers for your wife. My wife just completed her chemo and will be starting radiation. She had Stage 1 breast cancer and caught it early Thank God! I hope everything works out fine for her.
OMG. I'm so sorry to hear this. And prayers to you and your wife. I'm glad to hear you caught it early. Thank you for watching and please keep safe. God bless 🙏
Glad you made it back home safely. Prayers for Shannon, hope she gets better quickly. Nice to see some different parts of the country. I am not too far from Choctaw county. About 50 or so miles west. Miss the BBQ in Texas, hope to get back down south soon. Anyway, great video as always, glad David survived. Keep the shiny side up brother. See you in your next video.
Thank you John. And thanks for the prayers 🙏 . I was very suprised with David. He will he a rider when he grows up. Your not too far from where I was? Yeah I would of spent more time down there and also let people know I was going to be riding a certain route but I needed to get back as soon as I could because I had to take her in to her appointment. Next time I guess. I will be back because that was fun and would love to do that ride again. John I thank you for you kind words and for viewing, please be safe.
FREAKING OUTSTANDING! You made a great choice in the bike, and driving on the road. I wanted a 2015 model, but I was to cheap to kick out the extra cash, and got a 2008. I sent you a email recently, and I understand about your wife take good care of her these things can be unpredictable. I'll be waiting to hear from you wish you could have stop by Louisville, KY, and talked, and rode north for a little bit. 11/2/2022
I just came across your video and need to say how good it was. I am now a subscriber . Michigan viewer.
Thanks again Larry. Where abouts are you in Michigan. I'm just south of South Haven.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 , I live about 10 minutes west of Detroit.
@@larrynance9361 not far at all after 1100 miles 🤣🤣
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.
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.
I loved your video! To get the WIng you want you have to be prepared to travel. I traveled two days to get mine! Love you bike brother its beautiful!
Nice bike.
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
Prayers to you and your wife. I am interested in your bike.
Good evening, young man.
I watch your clips and enjoy them tremendously. Especially viewing how you spend time with your son. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. I am a pastor and we have great healing @ our assembly. I have prayed for your wife. And I believe and know that God will heal her. Never give up on hope, Sir. Trying to see if your goldwing is still for sale. If it is give me a text back or either on my Gmail. Once again enjoyed your clips. Be safe. Everything will work out just fine sir.
My thoughts are with your wife, yourself and your family Mo.
ride safe!
Thanks Peter. 👍 very much appreciated sir. Ride safe and thanks for viewing.
Great that you took your young son with you. Trips like that male for great memories. Nice bike too. I'm planning a semi-solo trip this summer from the Canadian prairies thru the rocky Mountains and northern British Columbia. Heading out on my own, meeting my wife in BC and then bringing her home with me on our new 2021 HD Ultra Limited. Total will be somewhere around 3000 miles over a period of 2 weeks or so.
glad you had a safe trip I have my 5th goldwing and I'm sure my last I'm 74 great bikes be safe
Your 5th wing. It may not be your last. You have many more years of riding left in ya. However a goldwing is a great machine built to last and keep running. Thanks for the comment and please ride safe out there.
Hope all goes well with your wife. I'm also in Michigan. I'm going to take a trip in August. My job is shutting down then. I'm finally going to be able to go on a well deserved vacation. 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!
Wow Brian. Sounds like you have some big plans for a great ride. 👍 a ride like that will be something you will never forget. Thank you for your kind words for my family and I wish I was riding with you on a trip like you have planned. I guess I should look some of this up. 🤔 the mountains would be great to ride through. U have never done that. Anyways thanks for watching and the comment please be safe out there.
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
Will be taking my forth daughter on her long trip this summer. I have taken two of her sisters on their own trips and have greatly enjoyed them. This trip will start in Jul and has three main National Park stops. Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and Yosemite. We leave out from Deland, FL and heading to Glacier with overnight stops in Nashville, Kansas City, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, Devils Tower, Then Glacier. Three days there then off to Yellowstone. Spend three days in Yellowstone off to Yosemite with stops in Salt Lake City then down the loneliest hwy in America old section of Lincoln hwy 50 in Nevada. After Yosemite we start back to Florida. Via Death Valley to Las Vegas. Then to Winslow, AZ , next El Paso, TX on old route 666 now known as 191 in AZ. Next to San Antonio, TX with a visit to the Alamo then dinner at the Chart House revolving restaurant atop the 700'+ tower. Next New Orleans ghost tours, cajun food and coffee with beignet. Next Jacksonville, FL dinner with the other daughters and great conversation next morning back in Deland, FL for a total 9000+ miles 4 National Parks numerous points of interest and a life time of memories.
What a fun ride . Looks like u guys had a great time
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.

Thank you for taking the time to edit and upload the video. Looks like you have to update your RUclips avatar and intro too.
You are absolutely right. And you are welcome. I will the next video. 😅👍. I planned on a new intro for this video however it has been 35 degrees and i haven't had it out since. And I had alot of subs waiting for this video. So I just wanted to get it out there. Thanks for your comment 👍 and please be safe.
Really enjoyed this trip, good father son time. I would do this with my daughters with our GL1500 and 2003 FLHTPI that I had made as comfortable as the Wing. I'm contemplating the purchase of another GL1500 I found today. I think with the meds, back support I might get some more years. But I'm also trying to get another house north of M55, off of M18.
Thanks Dale. It was a great time and I had alot of fun with my son. I believe he is gonna be a rider when he grows up. I was very impressed he handled the 1100 miles in 2 days without winning 🤣🤣 . 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.
We been waiting for this video man. That's awesome that you brought your son with bet you guys had a blast. Hoping the best for your wife man. My wife is going through some medical stuff herself, she goes in for surgery in a few weeks yo have a bunch of tumors removed .
Well first of all I hope all goes well with your wife. Your family will be in our prayers. And thank you for your caring and support Richard. It's very much appreciated 🙏 . Be safe, God bless and keep in touch.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 hopefully everything will work out for both our families. I'm also hoping we will both be able to find some time this sumer to meet up one of these weekends. The only trip I have planmed so far for this year. Is going to visit by buddy up north in Land o lakes Wisconsin . It's about a five hour ride and I'm sure once I'm there we will do some more ridding up north. Hey if you have never ridden to Sturgis you need to. I rode up there a few years back with my buddie
Just make sure you go when the rally isn't in town. It was a beautiful ride with nothing but open roads and great scenery.
@@Davidsmithisyourdad I hope so too Richard. And yes you have my email. So you can reach me anytime. Plus I can send you my number when you have some time this summer. We are not too far from each other. And would love too me up sometime. I have heard that before about Sturgis. And I think I will plan a trip that way this summer. At least drive thru. Thank you sir.
That was epic and 🙏 for your wife!
Thank you Samuro. And thanks for watching. 👍 be safe.
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
Great video 02 goldwing rider here...orange pearl.
last year about the same time I picked up a 2019 gl1800 ( new old-stock ) flew to Iowa rode it back ( 360 miles to Michigan ) I have put over 8000 miles in that riding season and have no complaints, ride safe
I have watched few videos I really enjoyed the ride from Texas back home
It's not always that you get some alone time with your son especially when they're still young that's something you both will talk about years from now. Glad you made it home safely especially worrying about your wife the whole time. The bike looks to be in great shape but what do you expect it's a Honda I know I have one.. don't ride that often but I get out every now and then but can't go far as I have a bad back from a fall ten years ago and get really sore from setting or standing so I keep moving. Hope your wife has a clean bill of health afterwards. Be careful and ride safe my friend God love ❤ ya
Thank you Ken. I'm sorry to hear about your fall from 10 yrs ago. My father struggles with a simular injury and can't sit or stand too long. But atleast you can get out and enjoy a little time on it. Thank you for watching and the nice comment. I had a great time and it's been a week since I got it and this kid of mine is still talking about it. 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. But then again maybe i would have considering that would have been time spent with my Pops. Anyways please stay safe and ride when you can. 🙏👍 take care my friend.
Great ride. , Enjoy the bike
Prayers for your wife my friend!! 🙏 I dont know what part of Michigan your located but ide love to meet up for a ride sometime this summer if your ever up near my neck of the woods!! Sending you and yours all the good vibez and good wishes. Keep the rubber side down and shiny side up 😎
I've been told "An Iron Butt ride on a 'wing is cheating" to which I replied YEP!
best wishes for the wife.. and I can almost bet the kiddo loved the trip and will remember it for the rest of his life.. I remember riding behind my mom and my step-dad growing up (mom rode her own).. and I still love riding..
The kid loved it. And we just talked about the iron butt. And he said he would do it with me. He had a great time on the trip and wants to do that again. My dad got me into riding. However your either a rider or not. And i believe after that trip im a rider. And it's not cheating on a wing. Just riding in comfort. Yeah I was so comfortable riding back. Never knew the 2012-2017 were different then the 2001-2010 in ride, seat, and handling. Great bike. 👍 thanks for the kind words and please ride safe. Thanks for watching
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 I don't remember that much difference between my '08 and my '14 other than what could be attributed to used vrs new.. my '19 is different some good some not so much.. the seat being the not so much... but gonna get that fixed with a Russell Day-Long saddle and probably an aftermarket windscreen... I don't mind a bit more wind being down here in Texas.. and riding in the rain on the '19 I only get damp around the edges..
@@mnewstadt1 well Mitch. Maybe that's the difference. 🤣🤣 new over old. My 02 is 20 yrs old and the seat I have now is way more comfortable then my 02. They also did a minor suspension upgrade in 2012. Front and rear. So I'm told fron honda. It seems to have a more controlled lean. But maybe it's just because its newer. I was told the 2018 and up had a hard seat. Anyways thanks for the reply and enjoy your day and weekend sir. Ride safe.
thoughts and prayers for your wife and your family
(new subscriber 12 min into your vid soo far ) just bought my first goldwing and saw u have a lot on them
Well thanks for subscribing and following along. What kind or I should say year goldwing did you get? And congrats 👏 on the purchase. Thanks for watching 👍
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.
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 RUclips . 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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a trip planned from Dallas to San Diego LA, Vegas, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma then home. 4000 miles and I’m doing it iron butt style in 3 days. Funny part is I’m leaving the wing at home and taking my Burgman. All my riding buddies say I’m crazy so I’m going solo. My only concern will be sleeping next to the bike at rest stops 😳. Love the new ride! Hope your wife is doing good and I’ll keep you all in my prayers.
Sorry to here about your wife. Hope everything is ok with her. Congrats on the new wing.
Praying for your wife and you and your son.
going to follow your journey Mo . stay safe my Friend 👍
Praying for the wife. Declaring and decree God healing over her entire body.
Also declaring traveling Mercy’s for you.
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.
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. 👍
All the best to your wife MO and just so happened we are planning a trip in the next 2 months between June and July leaving out of North Carolina stopping by Oklahoma City on our way to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming for one week and I pray all goes well for your wife as seems to be daily someone's going through the same thing that your wife is that I know but I will keep you in my prayers and I have an 06 Goldwing that I have also redone but I'm going to keep it for a while I also do not like the new Goldwing I will keep an old one as long as I can😁
Ya’ll are in my prayers brother .
Hello from the DFW Metromess. Yeppers on the IBA, I was never interested. Then they did one nearby and a charity would benefit, so finish or not it would help others. And yes I made it. Ride safe.
Planning on running from south side Virginia to Indian River Michigan and back for fathers day!
That's going to be a nice trip. 👌 thanks for the comment and please be safe.
Great journey Mo some of which you Did with out gloves
I still love the 2012 to 2017 Goldwings. It hard for me to like the newer goldwings because I heard good and bad things about it.
We usually do two or three long trips a year. This week I’m riding my wife’s bike from Ontario 🇨🇦 to Florida. She is flying down. Mine spent the winter there and we are riding home together. Then in September we are shipping the bikes to Colorado and riding Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Two weeks and then we ship them home again.
Wow Peter. I was amazed at what I did. You got me beat in 1 trip. 🤣🤣. Well please ride down safe. I never rode in Colorado before. I bet thats a great state to ride in. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍 please take care.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 Bonnie like Arizona the best. We may retire down there when the time is right. She likes the heat.
Hi Mo, what a great trip for you and your son. I’d love to do a ride with you, I also have the orange 2007 GL1800. I’m in southern illinois and am planning a coast to coast trip next spring.
