5 years ago I visited this page, and somehow, perhaps because you have a resemblance to my dad, somehow it impressed me. I can't put my finger on it but to this day I remember my impression when I ended up in this page. Well that inspiration did me well and about that same time I've been with my 1985 Honda Goldwind 1200cc, 300 hours of practice on it in 5 years; (I love practicing, was new aerobatic pilot when after high school for a little while) and I've not bought me a trailer yet but we are doing opther things. Had a bad heart attack last year valentine's day and two more surgeries, and while I've been on the bike now for close to 5 months, had a fall in front of my house and realized couln't lift it anymore, but I bought me a motorcyclwe jack that picks it up. Unfortunately, never again drop the bike, and last week finally I discovered why and how I fell down for the first time in 50 years riding, and today 05/17/21 I told my wife "I don't feel in fear anymore, this weekend did a lot of figure 8's and side to side turns plus others and I felt great, and today since the heart attack is first day without even thinking about it. So I chose today to come back to this page and I hope you, the wife and the Goldwing are in excellent shape and good health!
Picking up my GL 1200 tomorrow morning and can't wait, it's a 1986 and in good condition, watching this video has put me over the excitement realm and now I will have a hard time sleeping lol. It's suppose to rain but that's okay I just want to get it home and look at it sit in the driveway or garage for that matter. Thanks for the encouragement.
Joe and Brandy GORE Wow you got me excited too! Your going to love that bike. Their reputation are second to none and built like a battleship. Very reliable bikes. Quiet to ride. All good things to say about them. I used to be a Honda tech and worked on those on a regular basis. Well there wasn't many repairs but just service because they are that good. Ride safe my friend and enjoy you new bike. You'll remember this day for the rest of your life.
Thanks for the ride and the beautiful places to see. That is a really nice bike setup you've got going on. You and Kathy enjoy your week and thanks again. Levi~~
Thanks Levi. I'm having a hard time seeing this video on HD. I might have to make some changes to my set up or how I save it. Glad you enjoyed the video. We had a great day. Keep well my friend.
Al F Well thank you very much. Hoping to get another one up soon on the bike and trailer. Happy to hear you enjoyed seeing it. Thanks for watching and commenting. If you ride please ride safe.
I enjoyed your video of a casual day out. I'm here in Modesto, Ca. and I enjoy Goldwing Videos. Eastboud I'm an hour away from the Sierra Mountains and Westbound an hour away from San Francisco, Ca. and the Pacific coastline. Also, northbound an hour away from Sacramento, Ca. So I have a variety of choices for great scenery. But, I always enjoy seeing others locations such as yours. Keep up the great videos. Good job!
Thanks Jim. I told Kathy when I bought the Wing that is may be the last bike I'll ever buy and I think she's holding me to it lol. Stay well my friend.
I found ya'll by looking up GL1800 rides. The more I watched and listened the better it got. I am jealous of the scenery that you have there in NL. I just got my first GoldWing and the wife and I plan on many trips. Ride safe and when the weather breaks up there and the BOSS (KATHY) allows, load up the Wing.
David The Freak Thanks David. congratulations on your new Wing. Your in for a great time. They are sure fun to ride. Not to worry. As soon as it warms the boss and I will be out doing more video's. Ride safe my friend.
Awesome video! Just started my first real job later in life than i'd have liked and it's got me pretty down but have been looking at Goldwing's for the past few days and have seen trikes with mini-camper vans in tow and have thought to myself 'hell yeah, that's my kind of life!' Working in the week and cruising on the weekend for me in the future hopefully. All the best from Liverpool, England and thanks for taking us out on your beautiful bike!
MickMaan Well Mick as they say "better late than never". Sounds like your off to a good start so I'm betting you'll do it. If you have your health then that's the important stuff. Work towards your bike and jump on and enjoy the ride. Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep well man.
Great video Paul,looking at getting one as well,checking out all videos to get a feel for the wing,bit of an overkill for Ireland,but I still love them thanks.
New to your channel. Thanks for the video. I just bought a used 2010 Goldwing, it had 8,200 miles on it is all. I was fortunate to find such a nice Bike. Perfect condition with everything except airbag.
Rode bikes for 40 years. Used to wear shorts when I was young and bullet proof. As I got older I covered up in case of trouble, so road rash wasn't gonna be as bad. I enjoyed your ride. Never had a bike with reverse and I knew your ride today would show me that.
I took chances way back when because I was young and foolish. I now take chances because I simply don’t care. I’m going to enjoy life as I see it. If it kills me well so be it.We’re all going at some point. Thanks for watching.
Man that bike is smooth and beautiful Paul! Excellent choice for a bike. I own 2 Honda motor vehicles and a generator all are top notch engineering. Loved the vid, thanks.
Erated78 Thank you very much. I'm a big Honda fan as well. All I've ever owned for any amount of time was a Honda Motorcycle. I've had other brands but always went back to the Honda. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Charles. Great hearing from you. Don’t worry about your roads. There are places here in Newfoundland that the roads shouldn’t be called roads they are that bad lol. Keep well.
Man does this video make me miss riding. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in the mid 2000s. Can't believe it has been almost twenty years since I drove a car or rode a bike. I had my speed demon days, but now I would just love a relaxing ride with beautiful scenery and the wind in my face.
So sorry to hear about your health issues. Has a few myself these last few years. It must be terrible when you loose your freedom to drive especially when your used to having it. Life can give us some real curve balls but hey, we’re both here so no mater what we’re still winning. Thanks for watching. That’s an older video but folks seem to like it. I still have the bike and actually restored a 1980 GoldWing a few years ago to keep it company. God bless and keep well. flic.kr/p/292676L
@@7863348 Thank you for the reply. Yes it does suck when you lose that freedom to travel when and where you want. Still remember parking up for the last time and watching my just washed and polished car drive away. Last bike I rode was my buddies 99 Hayabusa while he was riding his custom Harley. Last bike that was mine was an 84 Interceptor. Rode that bike everywhere and all seasons. I was young and loved to ride. Oh yeah, both bikes are beautiful, but that 80 is so cool. You don't see many of them anymore. The lights under the saddlebags look really cool too! Hopefully one of these years they can fix my eyes before I get too old.
Hi Paul ... nice video ... I took mt VT750 Spirit for its first ride last week. It's been a cool spring so far but next week is looking at the 70's! While I love driving my bike I get motion sick watching a ride on video so I had to just watch the still moments ... It amazing how we think alike in so many ways ... probably why I am happy to have purchased a BX25 and discovered you on RUclips ... Kathy could pass for my wife's sister ...in fact one of the videos, Kathy's face was on a mirror of a bike in your museum while running the camera ... I had to do a double take ... thanks to both of you for being who you are ... good people! ... BTW ... if were to be dropped in your area of the world without know where I was placed I would swear it was Maine! Beautiful countryside no mater where you look!
Bill Amore Great you got out on the bike. I'm like you, I get motion sick even editing the videos and I hate a camera on a helmet. I got a shoulder harness coming for the GoPro so maybe that will make it better. So Kathy got a twin lol. Cool. I bet your loving that BX. Fantastic machine too. Thanks for your kind words but in reality it's the good folks like that keep us eating to do the videos. I've heard Newfoundland compaired to Maine in the past and I'm ok with that comparison. Some great folks are from that state.
Just almost 3 years late in watching this one Paul! (But I am catching up slowly). Lovely video, I enjoyed the scenery and of course the exchanges with your wife - how she puts up with you!). Lol!! I have always yearned for a Goldwing, never a Harley, and would have loved a customised trike - however to own one over here would be most impractical as it rains more than it is dry, so that would be quite miserable and secondly, around West Cork, the roads are awful and apart from being full of pot-holes, a lot of the lanes are just wide enough for a car, with many severe twists and turns and steep hills, so that also is a no-no and even if I could have one, I am now so riddled with Mt Itis (Arthur, better known as arthritis!) I could not get my leg over, but I love watching videos of them. Yours is a beautiful colour, very striking. All the best.
Wow that video is back a bit there. We do things a little differently now but I'm glad you liked it. More of this as soon as the weather breaks. Our weather and roads are much like yours. Even for us it's hard to justify having the GoldWing but it's a 2003 model we purchased new and customized it so it's a fun machine to jump on after a tooth day's work. I've had Harley's but I kept going back to Honda and eventually stayed with them. I even worked for them for a few years. Arthritis is bad stuff. I've had it in my neck since I was a teenager but I've managed to cope over the years. Thanks for watching and commenting. Great hearing from you across the pond.
I go to Newfoundland every year, as my wife grew up in Mount Pearl. I've been on all the roads in your video. It made me want to come back even more. If I get to ride up there, I'll have to send you a message so we can go ride somewhere.
hi paul loved your channel but loved your bike even more up until last year i had a 1200 wing which was built in marysvile and from there it went to canada and around 1995 got shipped to the uk were in 2002-3 i bought it and jest loved it keep up the good work god bless and ride safe dave poole
+David Poole Thanks David. It's hard to compete with a GoldWing. I haven't seen one yet that I didn't like. Great machines. Wish I had more time to ride. This summer it's been crazy with work both professional and personal. Hope your still riding. Ride safe.
***** Thanks task. We enjoy riding but we hit some bad weather for the last three weeks. It's supposed to be a very nice day this coming Saturday so we may head out again with the camera. Ride safe my friend.
Nice bike, nice wife, nice life ha ha ha. I had a GL 1000 exactly 30 years ago in Australia. Your video really brings back the memories. Although mine was a boat anchor compared to what you have now, but we didn't know any different. I like your idea of a beach ha ha, more like an unused quarry full of water. If you get a chance go for a ride in Australia up the coast, only 4000 kilometers from Melbourne to Cairns (Google maps). Best scenery and fantastic weather. Great video. Cheers
Greg Waugh Thanks Greg. We love it here. That beach is not typical of all the beaches here. It's just one of thousands. If you consider the North Atlantic an unused quarry I think most would disagree.
No, it's "You" the "Wife", "Bike" an "Trailer", can never forget the trailer! Looks Great! I'm stocked buying a 88 Goldwing this last Friday an can't imagine excitement for you with this newer rig? Congrats!
Congratulations on your new bike. Great model. we bought ours new back in 2003 and it’s still like new. also restored a 1980 GL1100 GoldWing a few years ago and love it. Ride safe.
Hi Poul. I'm writing to you from Denmark. It's a hell of a video you put out there. I like it a lot. I, myself and my wife, ride a old beemer R1100RT. it's the same feeling I think. Regards to you and your wife.
is100456 Well hello. Yes it is the very same feeling. I love the old beemers. I love all motorcycles. Thank you for viewing our video. Sat hi to your wife for us and ride safe my friend. Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada
Beautiful country side up there. One of these days I am going to have to make a ride up North. For those of you not wanting to drop the money for a trailer...I have a great alternate...especially for a short local trip like this... Carry-all rack and receiver hitch bracket
This is a cool video. Very pretty country up there in Canuckyland. I cannot believe how much peace and quiet your wife gives you during the ride. Mine never shuts up! LOL
Nice bike, nice trailer. Your bike is really fast. It goes from CBS to Bay Roberts in just a few seconds, impressive. BTW, the CBS gas war does not usually extend to the Long Pond Ultramar. Just the Esso and Irving Stations near Manuels Bridge and the North Atlantic Station at Villa Nova Plaza. Regards...
It is coming on October here in Texas, time to get my Goldwing out and start some riding. Been stored all summer long and now finally the weather is cool enough to ride. Finally it is only in the high 80's.
Funny how differant places have differant riding seasons. We only have a few more weeks left and the Wing gets put away for the winter. Bikes up here don't get a lot of use due to the short riding season. You can find a 20 year old wing with very little miles on it and looking as if it was just bought new. Happy to hear your soon heading out on yours. Ride safe.
Paul, I just treat he'd your oil change video on the goldwing when I spotted your "Bay Roberts NL Canada" in the closing roll credits!! I have a RUclips presenter from Clarenville NL name is Pastor Les Chymist (his secret identity). He has a RUclips channel called "cruisin' the narrow road"! It's about motorcycle Trip's and shows great views of the NL area. Love the Canadian accent you speak with! Now I have 2 RUclips channels from that region, can it get ANY BETTER than this? Have a FABULOUS day today, and, say "hi" to your better half please!🏍️👍😎🐻🤓🇺🇸 Doug
Pretty nice to see a mechanic that actually makes money ! big diff in camera mics , like using a snap on rachet as compared to harbor freight lol Kiddin aside u have some nice shop and equipment
+craig dalzell Thanks. We've done ok I guess. As for the audio and video. We've come a long way with newer and better equipment since the making of that video.
Very nice video Paul,i have exactly the same bike,its a great bike,red and beautiful with a peak trailer.Lots of kuryakin on my bike to.Keep well my friend.Kind regards,Kjell from Norway
nb840fly Hey Kjell these red bikes are the fastest lol. They sure are nice bikes. You ride safe my friend and thanks for commenting. Great hearing from you.
Thank you very much. We appreciate you being here. We hope you have a great long weekend. I’m typing this from Cape Spear, Newfoundland which happens to be the most Easterly point in North America. Keep well.
hi Paul , im from Montreal Canada . i like your vids ty. im still looking for a 1800 GoldWing once ill get my deal on one maybe ill visit NFL. nice place . ty again for all your vids
John P Sweet! I'm using some inexpensive mic I got off Amazon on my vids. Would like to go to a Wireless Sena Bluetooth set up, but not ready to spend the $$ just yet! Ride safe!
Great video Paul Short . How well does that trailer work for you? I would like to get something similar for my bike, but I do not think that the bike I have is made for it, and I was wondering what do you suggest for a 2014 Honda CTX 1300 Deluxe as far as a trailer is concerned? I talked with my local Honda dealer where I got the bike from, and they told me that trailer only fits the Goldwing. It is the same color as your bike.
This is about as far from my "style" as possible (I ride a honda shadow that i custom bobbered myself) BUT I love it, and it shows what ridings all about - whatever you prefer right? Also - I LOVE those old gas pumps. Seriously cool.
That was a nice video of your country side, glad to see you both take a little time off from all the work you do. When you select reverse, it sounds like it's running on the starter, is that the case? I noticed on most of the video that there was a solid yellow line on the road, are you allowed to pass on it? I noticed also as to how many buildings are real close to the roadway, around here you just don't see that, any way the scenery was beautiful and you had a nice picnic and time off from work. Thank for another great video and have a great day.
Hi John. Glad you enjoyed the video. You got a good ear my friend and your right, the reverse on a GoldWing runs off the starting motor. It sure helps when backing out a 1100 lbs plus bike with a trailer in tow, Over the years around here the roads got wider making the buildings get closer to the roads. I'm so used to it that i hardly noticed it until it was mentioned. There are homes so close to the roadways here that if you step out of your door you could get hit by a vehicle. I guess it makes it all a little bit unique. Yes painted lines on the roads everywhere. Solid line means no passing but people still do it anyways. ;)Have a great weekend and thanks for watching.
Good Afternoon, Paul. My father was stationed at Argentia for 3 years. I was wondering if you every take the wing up that way and if you do would you video some of that area. My father really enjoyed watching this video with me and seeing some of the places we visited over 40 years ago. Thanks Paul and Kathy. Have a great day.....
Thomas Ratcliffe Well that's nice. Glad you and your dad enjoyed it. I only live an hour from Argentia. I'll make it a point to get over there and do a video for him. Tell him we said thanks for his service.
Love out love it love it!!!!! Beautiful drop dead beautiful bike. My question and I know you're a Honda guy I get it but, have you ever ridden the BMW dresser? Btw I think every video you make should with a ride! As always thanks for taking us along!!!
+n3qdz Thank you. Yes I've pretty well tried them all. I've owned almost 50 bikes in my lifetime but I grew up on Honda, worked for Honda and that's why I own a Honda today. Glad you enjoyed the ride. We got some cool plans for filming on the Wing this coming summer ;)
Hi Paul, What a great day out riding with the wife, building great memories is what life is all about. Love the set up with the trailer too, very nice. I'm aiming for a Goldwing for my 40th next year, cant wait. Have subscribed to the channel, mainly as I love Goldwings and gonna check out your mustang vid too. I apologise if I am wrong, but can I hear an Irish accent, it really sounds like I can every now and then in this video? Kind Regards, Paul from the UK.
Paul Osler Hello Paul across the pond lol. Oh in for a real treat when you get your Wing. They are an exceptional machine. I've never had an issue with ours and it purrs like a kitten. My ancestors are from Britain but I've been told I had an Irish accident in the past so there must be something to it. I used to speak french at one time. I was raised by a French Canadian so I just might be all messed up lol. I'm hoping to have a new Wing video up soon. We plan on another trip this week or at least we hope if the weather holds up. Thanks so much for your subscription. We really appreciate it. When you get your wing get a red one. They're the fastest :)
Its a great accent, easy on the ears unlike some of us over here, lol. Look forward to next Goldwing video and def looks good in red. Cheers guys, keep up the good work with the vid's. Regards, Paul.
I have had a motorbike for over 30 years still have one but am unable to ride it as I lost a leg 4 years ago and just can't bring myself to sell it but I never ever rode without leathers I have seen too many people with really bad gravel rash but hey keep safe and ride many more years.... god bless all you bikers out there...........................................
Sorry to hear about your health issues. Don't give up on your bike. There are trike kits available for just about everything and I've worked on many of them and rode all of them and I'd be going in that direction if I had leg issues. A lot of folks with knee problems went the trike kit route and are very happy with them. As for leathers. We I'm 57 years old. Been riding since I was 10 and believe me I know the risks and if you don't believe me I have the scars to prove it lol. Even at 57 I'm a risk taker. I guess it makes me feel alive. I sure hope you find a way to get back on your bike and I pray that you do. Bless you and yours sir.
Hey I wasn't trying to preach each to their own and I hope you have many more years of enjoyment as for a trike not sure having never ridden one it doesn't seem to look the same. God bless.....
Good morning Paul, Stephen Coffey is my name, I'm from Dublin, Ireland. Was thinking of going touring in the USA next year, maybe buy a goldwing, tour and then ship it back to Ireland.. Not sure where to go yet ??. Do you have any suggestions re bike sales ?. Many thanks.. Stephen. .. Stephenxcoffey@gmail.com
Thanks for the tour Paul and Kathy. I've never been to Newfoundland but what a beautiful province. Gorgeous GoldWing with all those personal touches. What is that little computer do-dad by your right hand? Isn't your view a little bit obstructed of your side mirrors by your iPhone on the left side and the computer display do-dad on the right side?
Keith Brettell Thanks Keith. We like it here. The do-dad is a Garmin GPS. It's intergrated in to the sound system and over rides all other audio when a voice command is given. No obstruction at all. Everything is well inside my line of sight so there's no obstruction.
Love the scenery, very much like parts of the Norwegian west coast. Is that a Garmin street pilot 2820? Had one in my truck for several years and very happy with it.
***** Thank you Tommy. I'd love to see Norway some day too. The Garmin is a 2610. Very reliable unit. It's never been off the bike. Thanks for watching. We really appreciate you taking the time to comment as well.
kevin neel I guess it's all in what we are looking for in a ride. I have worked in a noisy environment all my life. From equipment operating to shop repairs. I have owned a few Harley's and although I liked them I always went back to Honda. I work on both products in our shop and I see way more Harley's for repairs than Honda's but I will admit that the GoldWing don't have the "Cool" factor that the Harley has but at my age I don't factor in the "cool" factor anymore lol. I still say "It don't matter what you ride as long as you ride" .
Hello Paul, this is the second time I have watched this clip, but I just noticed your cruising foot pegs. What brand and model are they? They look like they ought to be quite comfortable. Thanks
Paul, greetings from Tampa, Florida. I enjoy your videos and love looking at your bike. Question on your driver floorboards, how do you like them vs. the stock footpegs? I have a 2016 and looking to change to the same. Thanks and keep posting.

Congratulations. Your going to love that thing. Just wait until your snow melts ;)
Ride safe.
Great video Paul,looking at getting one as well,checking out all videos to get a feel for the wing,bit of an overkill for Ireland,but I still love them thanks.
hi Paul,
love the way you adapt to anything,,,,, come to new Zealand and you'll make a fortune...
safe riding

New to your channel. Thanks for the video. I just bought a used 2010 Goldwing, it had 8,200 miles on it is all. I was fortunate to find such a nice Bike. Perfect condition with everything except airbag.

Congrats on the new Wing. It will give you many years of trouble free riding. Great bikes. Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
What a gorgeous rig. You obviously love taking care of it.
Thank you. I try my best to keep it in tip top shape.

Man that bike is smooth and beautiful Paul! Excellent choice for a bike. I own 2 Honda motor vehicles and a generator all are top notch engineering. Loved the vid, thanks.

Hey your welcome. Thank YOU for watching. We really appreciate it.
Thanks great video, looking at wings at the moment,very popular here in Ireland, roads a bit small but still good fun to be had.
Thanks Charles. Great hearing from you. Don’t worry about your roads. There are places here in Newfoundland that the roads shouldn’t be called roads they are that bad lol. Keep well.
Wow what a great goldwing!
Man does this video make me miss riding. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in the mid 2000s. Can't believe it has been almost twenty years since I drove a car or rode a bike. I had my speed demon days, but now I would just love a relaxing ride with beautiful scenery and the wind in my face.
So sorry to hear about your health issues. Has a few myself these last few years. It must be terrible when you loose your freedom to drive especially when your used to having it. Life can give us some real curve balls but hey, we’re both here so no mater what we’re still winning.
Thanks for watching. That’s an older video but folks seem to like it. I still have the bike and actually restored a 1980 GoldWing a few years ago to keep it company. God bless and keep well. flic.kr/p/292676L
@@7863348 Thank you for the reply. Yes it does suck when you lose that freedom to travel when and where you want. Still remember parking up for the last time and watching my just washed and polished car drive away. Last bike I rode was my buddies 99 Hayabusa while he was riding his custom Harley. Last bike that was mine was an 84 Interceptor. Rode that bike everywhere and all seasons. I was young and loved to ride.
Oh yeah, both bikes are beautiful, but that 80 is so cool. You don't see many of them anymore. The lights under the saddlebags look really cool too! Hopefully one of these years they can fix my eyes before I get too old.
Hi Paul ... nice video ... I took mt VT750 Spirit for its first ride last week. It's been a cool spring so far but next week is looking at the 70's! While I love driving my bike I get motion sick watching a ride on video so I had to just watch the still moments ... It amazing how we think alike in so many ways ... probably why I am happy to have purchased a BX25 and discovered you on RUclips ... Kathy could pass for my wife's sister ...in fact one of the videos, Kathy's face was on a mirror of a bike in your museum while running the camera ... I had to do a double take ... thanks to both of you for being who you are ... good people! ... BTW ... if were to be dropped in your area of the world without know where I was placed I would swear it was Maine! Beautiful countryside no mater where you look!
Bill Amore
Great you got out on the bike. I'm like you, I get motion sick even editing the videos and I hate a camera on a helmet. I got a shoulder harness coming for the GoPro so maybe that will make it better. So Kathy got a twin lol. Cool. I bet your loving that BX. Fantastic machine too. Thanks for your kind words but in reality it's the good folks like that keep us eating to do the videos. I've heard Newfoundland compaired to Maine in the past and I'm ok with that comparison. Some great folks are from that state.
Just almost 3 years late in watching this one Paul! (But I am catching up slowly). Lovely video, I enjoyed the scenery and of course the exchanges with your wife - how she puts up with you!). Lol!! I have always yearned for a Goldwing, never a Harley, and would have loved a customised trike - however to own one over here would be most impractical as it rains more than it is dry, so that would be quite miserable and secondly, around West Cork, the roads are awful and apart from being full of pot-holes, a lot of the lanes are just wide enough for a car, with many severe twists and turns and steep hills, so that also is a no-no and even if I could have one, I am now so riddled with Mt Itis (Arthur, better known as arthritis!) I could not get my leg over, but I love watching videos of them. Yours is a beautiful colour, very striking.
All the best.
Wow that video is back a bit there. We do things a little differently now but I'm glad you liked it. More of this as soon as the weather breaks. Our weather and roads are much like yours. Even for us it's hard to justify having the GoldWing but it's a 2003 model we purchased new and customized it so it's a fun machine to jump on after a tooth day's work. I've had Harley's but I kept going back to Honda and eventually stayed with them. I even worked for them for a few years. Arthritis is bad stuff. I've had it in my neck since I was a teenager but I've managed to cope over the years.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Great hearing from you across the pond.
pretty hard to beat these Goldwing for travel and ultimate enjoyment.
I go to Newfoundland every year, as my wife grew up in Mount Pearl. I've been on all the roads in your video. It made me want to come back even more. If I get to ride up there, I'll have to send you a message so we can go ride somewhere.
Cool. If you get out this way again look us up. Would be happy to ride with you.
Ride safe.
Nice video sir.. i really enjoying it..i'm waiting for your next journey..thank you for the video
Refresh company

Hamada Elmasre
Thank you very much. glad you enjoyed seeing it.
If you ride then ride safe and keep well.
All the best to you and yours 2015.
Love the video seeing the country side take a week off.....life is too short
hi paul loved your channel but loved your bike even more up until last year i had a 1200 wing which was built in marysvile and from there it went to canada and around 1995 got shipped to the uk were in 2002-3 i bought it and jest loved it keep up the good work god bless and ride safe dave poole
+David Poole
Thanks David. It's hard to compete with a GoldWing. I haven't seen one yet that I didn't like. Great machines. Wish I had more time to ride. This summer it's been crazy with work both professional and personal. Hope your still riding. Ride safe.
The bike looks great but that trailer is awesome! Thanks for the ride stay safe ...
***** Thanks task. We enjoy riding but we hit some bad weather for the last three weeks. It's supposed to be a very nice day this coming Saturday so we may head out again with the camera. Ride safe my friend.
Thanks for the ride. I envy your setup, nice bike nice trailer. I subbed.
Thank you very much. Thanks for your sub as well. Ride safe.
Nice bike, nice wife, nice life ha ha ha. I had a GL 1000 exactly 30 years ago in Australia. Your video really brings back the memories. Although mine was a boat anchor compared to what you have now, but we didn't know any different.
I like your idea of a beach ha ha, more like an unused quarry full of water.
If you get a chance go for a ride in Australia up the coast, only 4000 kilometers from Melbourne to Cairns (Google maps). Best scenery and fantastic weather.
Great video. Cheers
Greg Waugh
Thanks Greg. We love it here. That beach is not typical of all the beaches here. It's just one of thousands. If you consider the North Atlantic an unused quarry I think most would disagree.
Paul Short Sorry mate was kind of joking, it all looks great.
Hi Paul, I enjoyed the ride. Beautiful country.
Bryan
+Bryan D. Boothby
Thanks Brian. Much appreciated. Ride safe.
That's got more gadgets than in my house even the trailer is decked out, nice video and bike
wayne rooney
Thanks Wayne. Most GoldWing owners like gadgets lol. Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
No, it's "You" the "Wife", "Bike" an "Trailer", can never forget the trailer! Looks Great! I'm stocked buying a 88 Goldwing this last Friday an can't imagine excitement for you with this newer rig? Congrats!
Congratulations on your new bike. Great model. we bought ours new back in 2003 and it’s still like new. also restored a 1980 GL1100 GoldWing a few years ago and love it. Ride safe.
Hi Poul.
I'm writing to you from Denmark. It's a hell of a video you put out there. I like it a lot. I, myself and my wife, ride a old beemer R1100RT. it's the same feeling I think. Regards to you and your wife.
is100456
Well hello. Yes it is the very same feeling. I love the old beemers. I love all motorcycles. Thank you for viewing our video. Sat hi to your wife for us and ride safe my friend. Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada
Great video really enjoyed it cheers from cheshire england.
zzzpip
Hello from across the pond. I'm so happy you liked the video. Thanks for watching. Cheers from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland,Canada.
Beautiful country side up there. One of these days I am going to have to make a ride up North. For those of you not wanting to drop the money for a trailer...I have a great alternate...especially for a short local trip like this...
Carry-all rack and receiver hitch bracket
Beautiful country you have there!
+Jake Schisler
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to yell back, good info. Steve
No worries! Ride safe.
Very nice video & Bike....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video really enjoyed. thanks
Great video Paul - Really enjoyed it :)
Deepu Sunny
Thank you Deepu. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Ride safe.
You know you work hard !you deserve to play hard ! be safe on that bike because I love your videos!
Thanks man. Still working hard and harder finding time to get on the bike. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice looking goldwing
Awesome video man! When I grow up I want to be just like you! lol that's a great bike, seems like a lot of fun.
Dinsdale Drummond
I wouldn't wish that on anyone lol
Beautiful Bike and Trailer. Will trade my V star in for Goldwing next. Great Vid
'Beautiful bike and trailer,' .......and filly.
This is a cool video. Very pretty country up there in Canuckyland. I cannot believe how much peace and quiet your wife gives you during the ride. Mine never shuts up! LOL
tellmeitsnottaken Thanks. Oh I have to admit, she's the perfect passenger.We do enjoy our rides. ride safe bud and careful out there.
Paul Short We just bought a Wing…we do not have passenger communication headsets yet…not sure if we will or not…we both enjoy the peace/quiet as well.
More trips please!!
Greetings again from the uk
roamer
Sure will. I just have to wait until the snow goes away lol.
Keep safe over there. ;)
thanks for the ride on the wing really enjoyed it
Glenn Crawford
Your kindly welcome Glenn. Thanks for joining us.
you guys are like the nicest people
SplinterAce
Well thank you very much :)
Nice bike, nice trailer. Your bike is really fast. It goes from CBS to Bay Roberts in just a few seconds, impressive. BTW, the CBS gas war does not usually extend to the Long Pond Ultramar. Just the Esso and Irving Stations near Manuels Bridge and the North Atlantic Station at Villa Nova Plaza. Regards...
Great job,thumbs up!!
lilkoon9 Thank you very much.:)
It is coming on October here in Texas, time to get my Goldwing out and start some riding. Been stored all summer long and now finally the weather is cool enough to ride. Finally it is only in the high 80's.
Funny how differant places have differant riding seasons. We only have a few more weeks left and the Wing gets put away for the winter. Bikes up here don't get a lot of use due to the short riding season. You can find a 20 year old wing with very little miles on it and looking as if it was just bought new. Happy to hear your soon heading out on yours. Ride safe.
Paul, I just treat he'd your oil change video on the goldwing when I spotted your "Bay Roberts NL Canada" in the closing roll credits!! I have a RUclips presenter from Clarenville NL name is Pastor Les Chymist (his secret identity). He has a RUclips channel called "cruisin' the narrow road"! It's about motorcycle Trip's and shows great views of the NL area. Love the Canadian accent you speak with! Now I have 2 RUclips channels from that region, can it get ANY BETTER than this? Have a FABULOUS day today, and, say "hi" to your better half please!🏍️👍😎🐻🤓🇺🇸 Doug
I was in port au port a few years ago was very nice visiting the island Take Care
Cool. Small world. Glad you enjoyed it here.
Pretty nice to see a mechanic that actually makes money ! big diff in camera mics , like using a snap on rachet as compared to harbor freight lol Kiddin aside u have some nice shop and equipment
+craig dalzell
Thanks. We've done ok I guess. As for the audio and video. We've come a long way with newer and better equipment since the making of that video.
lard jeez by'e i knows where ya to!!! From Country Road meself. watching this from up here in Cambridge On.
Great video!!!
LOL. Well you sure would know where we are. Keep safe out there.
Great videos fun free exciting

Great video! Thanks for sharing! :)

Love you guys!!!
Thank you very much. We appreciate you being here. We hope you have a great long weekend. I’m typing this from Cape Spear, Newfoundland which happens to be the most Easterly point in North America. Keep well.
Great Bike Great Scenery and a GREAT looking wife what more can you ask for take good care of each other y'hear :)
Steve G
Thanks Steve. Kathy and I appreciate that ;)
Love the bike, very fun
Just picked up a naked 1980 GL1100 GoldWing. Been working on it for two weeks. I'll put a video up on it soon. Thanks for watching.
hi Paul , im from Montreal Canada . i like your vids ty. im still looking for a 1800 GoldWing once ill get my deal on one maybe ill visit NFL. nice place . ty again for all your vids
+joe gravel
It should be easy to find a GL1800 in Montreal. You like NL and I love Montreal ;)
Can't beat a Wing. My wife loves it!
HI, Mike. I saw your comment on the Go pro mic. I`m using a Mini USB Professional microphone, it works great. Thanks for the feed back brother.
John P Sweet! I'm using some inexpensive mic I got off Amazon on my vids. Would like to go to a Wireless Sena Bluetooth set up, but not ready to spend the $$ just yet! Ride safe!
ñice riding take care terry
You seem like a man who has it all. God Bless you and your wife. Stay safe.
From Ontario
excellent video
*****
Thanks Pablo ;)
that was a grait video mate well done good man
+vat vat
Thank you very much.
all good mate hi from australia
Great video Paul Short . How well does that trailer work for you? I would like to get something similar for my bike, but I do not think that the bike I have is made for it, and I was wondering what do you suggest for a 2014 Honda CTX 1300 Deluxe as far as a trailer is concerned? I talked with my local Honda dealer where I got the bike from, and they told me that trailer only fits the Goldwing. It is the same color as your bike.
This is about as far from my "style" as possible (I ride a honda shadow that i custom bobbered myself) BUT I love it, and it shows what ridings all about - whatever you prefer right?
Also - I LOVE those old gas pumps. Seriously cool.
Maybe Kathy could have a camera as well.Would love to see your scenery while your watching the rd. Ha! Greg Holmes.
gopha533
Well there's a thought.
That was a nice video of your country side, glad to see you both take a little time off from all the work you do. When you select reverse, it sounds like it's running on the starter, is that the case? I noticed on most of the video that there was a solid yellow line on the road, are you allowed to pass on it? I noticed also as to how many buildings are real close to the roadway, around here you just don't see that, any way the scenery was beautiful and you had a nice picnic and time off from work. Thank for another great video and have a great day.
Hi John. Glad you enjoyed the video. You got a good ear my friend and your right, the reverse on a GoldWing runs off the starting motor. It sure helps when backing out a 1100 lbs plus bike with a trailer in tow, Over the years around here the roads got wider making the buildings get closer to the roads. I'm so used to it that i hardly noticed it until it was mentioned. There are homes so close to the roadways here that if you step out of your door you could get hit by a vehicle. I guess it makes it all a little bit unique. Yes painted lines on the roads everywhere. Solid line means no passing but people still do it anyways. ;)Have a great weekend and thanks for watching.
Good Afternoon, Paul. My father was stationed at Argentia for 3 years. I was wondering if you every take the wing up that way and if you do would you video some of that area. My father really enjoyed watching this video with me and seeing some of the places we visited over 40 years ago. Thanks Paul and Kathy. Have a great day.....
Thomas Ratcliffe
Well that's nice. Glad you and your dad enjoyed it. I only live an hour from Argentia. I'll make it a point to get over there and do a video for him. Tell him we said thanks for his service.
Love out love it love it!!!!! Beautiful drop dead beautiful bike. My question and I know you're a Honda guy I get it but, have you ever ridden the BMW dresser? Btw I think every video you make should with a ride! As always thanks for taking us along!!!
+n3qdz
Thank you. Yes I've pretty well tried them all. I've owned almost 50 bikes in my lifetime but I grew up on Honda, worked for Honda and that's why I own a Honda today. Glad you enjoyed the ride. We got some cool plans for filming on the Wing this coming summer ;)
Hi Paul, What a great day out riding with the wife, building great memories is what life is all about. Love the set up with the trailer too, very nice. I'm aiming for a Goldwing for my 40th next year, cant wait. Have subscribed to the channel, mainly as I love Goldwings and gonna check out your mustang vid too. I apologise if I am wrong, but can I hear an Irish accent, it really sounds like I can every now and then in this video? Kind Regards, Paul from the UK.
Paul Osler Hello Paul across the pond lol. Oh in for a real treat when you get your Wing. They are an exceptional machine. I've never had an issue with ours and it purrs like a kitten. My ancestors are from Britain but I've been told I had an Irish accident in the past so there must be something to it. I used to speak french at one time. I was raised by a French Canadian so I just might be all messed up lol. I'm hoping to have a new Wing video up soon. We plan on another trip this week or at least we hope if the weather holds up. Thanks so much for your subscription. We really appreciate it. When you get your wing get a red one. They're the fastest :)
Its a great accent, easy on the ears unlike some of us over here, lol. Look forward to next Goldwing video and def looks good in red. Cheers guys, keep up the good work with the vid's. Regards, Paul.
I have had a motorbike for over 30 years still have one but am unable to ride it as I lost a leg 4 years ago and just can't bring myself to sell it but I never ever rode without leathers I have seen too many people with really bad gravel rash but hey keep safe and ride many more years.... god bless all you bikers out there...........................................
Sorry to hear about your health issues. Don't give up on your bike. There are trike kits available for just about everything and I've worked on many of them and rode all of them and I'd be going in that direction if I had leg issues. A lot of folks with knee problems went the trike kit route and are very happy with them.
As for leathers. We I'm 57 years old. Been riding since I was 10 and believe me I know the risks and if you don't believe me I have the scars to prove it lol. Even at 57 I'm a risk taker. I guess it makes me feel alive.
I sure hope you find a way to get back on your bike and I pray that you do. Bless you and yours sir.
Hey I wasn't trying to preach each to their own and I hope you have many more years of enjoyment as for a trike not sure having never ridden one it doesn't seem to look the same. God bless.....
Hanks. No I never took it as preaching at all. I think you'd enjoy a trike.
Love Your video. My next bike will be a GoldWing.
Thomas Carlson
Thanks. Ride safe.
+Thomas Carlson Yup mine too, my wife has just signed off on it. Just not canary yellow. :-(
Beautiful rig....
Thank you
Good morning Paul,
Stephen Coffey is my name,
I'm from Dublin, Ireland.
Was thinking of going touring in the USA next year, maybe buy a goldwing, tour and then ship it back to Ireland..
Not sure where to go yet ??.
Do you have any suggestions re bike sales ?.
Many thanks..
Stephen. ..
Stephenxcoffey@gmail.com
Good idea but you might want to talk to an American about it because I'm in Canada. Ride safe.
What a beauty!
Thank you.
Thanks for the tour Paul and Kathy. I've never been to Newfoundland but what a beautiful province. Gorgeous GoldWing with all those personal touches. What is that little computer do-dad by your right hand? Isn't your view a little bit obstructed of your side mirrors by your iPhone on the left side and the computer display do-dad on the right side?
Keith Brettell
Thanks Keith. We like it here. The do-dad is a Garmin GPS. It's intergrated in to the sound system and over rides all other audio when a voice command is given. No obstruction at all. Everything is well inside my line of sight so there's no obstruction.
Nice video !
Thanks Michel ;)
the title, I wish it could be my future
I hope it will come to you. Never give up. We all have our dreams.
Love the scenery, very much like parts of the Norwegian west coast. Is that a Garmin street pilot 2820? Had one in my truck for several years and very happy with it.
***** Thank you Tommy. I'd love to see Norway some day too. The Garmin is a 2610. Very reliable unit. It's never been off the bike. Thanks for watching. We really appreciate you taking the time to comment as well.
Very nice bike
Thank you 😊
I love the sounds of harleys going by.
Me too.
Great video though. I loved it.
I told GF we was getting rid of harley for a honda. She said hell no
kevin neel
Thank you!
kevin neel
I guess it's all in what we are looking for in a ride. I have worked in a noisy environment all my life. From equipment operating to shop repairs. I have owned a few Harley's and although I liked them I always went back to Honda. I work on both products in our shop and I see way more Harley's for repairs than Honda's but I will admit that the GoldWing don't have the "Cool" factor that the Harley has but at my age I don't factor in the "cool" factor anymore lol. I still say "It don't matter what you ride as long as you ride" .
Hello Paul, this is the second time I have watched this clip, but I just noticed your cruising foot pegs. What brand and model are they? They look like they ought to be quite comfortable. Thanks
Paul, greetings from Tampa, Florida. I enjoy your videos and love looking at your bike. Question on your driver floorboards, how do you like them vs. the stock footpegs? I have a 2016 and looking to change to the same. Thanks and keep posting.
Hi Rich. I like the floorboards more than the pegs. Very comfortable and they have the cool factor as well lol. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
