I’ve been considering a new 2023 Goldwing. It’s between that and the K 1600 GTL… anyway, I feel like I pack light, and I wasn’t able to imagine taking my stuff with me on the bike. It’s shocking how much you can fit in there. This is making that buying trigger pull a bit lighter. I like the bagger look for the Goldwing, and that’s the main issue. It takes 2-3 minutes to pop the BMW’s trunk on and off. Honda says it’s a 7 hour job to install. Having the option to have the extra storage if it’s needed and not when it isn’t would be perfect.
I would extend toolkit. Spare oil filter, 1/4” drive sockets, gorilla tape, zip ties etc. There are some good suggestions on the forums. My tank bag has been handy for map, flashlight, coins and my wife’s G26.
Very interesting. Love the checklist- I rely on them for every adventure and check it off over a few days or a week. Great vid, very insightful and thank you!
I saved this video 4 months ago when I bought my Wing. I am planning some trips in the spring and was going to ask for a copy of your list but I do not see an email address unless I missed it somewhere. Is this list still available? Thank you….(Rob) EDIT: Disregard sir. I see your reply to G Randy Brown. I will use that address
Great video, well thought out. Any chance you can just link or post the packing list here? Would be great to cross reference it with the one I've been building for a while as well!
Great trip planning review. Really appreciate it. Funny. Whiskey amd cigars paired with the work out gloves.. lol. That said, I'm looking at the 21 wing. May like to do some camping off and on. Are there any channels you know that are good sources for that kind of thing?
I'm an old guy that just started riding again after 27 years and hoping to take a ride from southern New Nexico to Portland,OR to see my grandkids and kids (collecting camera/ drone footage etc along the way) ... this vid has nudged me a little closer to actually following thru sometime in August and I'd very much like to have a copy of your packing list but I can't find the address...did I just overlook it?
After 45 years of riding Gold Wings around North America, I to have a list. In my opinion, you must be a clotheshorse. Never seen so much wearables for a long trek. Also, need a small portable air pump and tubeless tire repair kit. Never needed it until a couple years ago, so be prepared. Hope the trip was good.
I have found that a great many areas of the states have absolute rubbish for cell phone coverage, so I like to be able to get to civilization for professional service, and the only way, if you have a flat in a remote area is to plug the puncture and put air in. Not hard to do at all. Try looking at something like Dyna Plug, and a small pump that runs off your bike battery. In my years, I have had two flats, one from a nail, and one from an idiot in the motorcycle shop that installed a new tire, with tube, and it felt unbalanced, and when I went out for a test ride it went flat, and I could hear something sliding in the tire itself, rear tire. Turned out he had left one of his tire irons in the new tire. Anyway, can’t wait for the border to open so we can travel down to the states again.
Just curious, what year is your Wing? I have the 2019 and I know both my old 2006 and 2012 had a lot mor room in the trunk and saddlebags. Nice job man
@@HowWeGoldwing … I didn’t realize Reda made one for the GW. I carry one on my Electra Glide if I know I will be riding in some long remote areas out here in the Southwest. I am going to check to see if my Harley can fits the GW GL1800
I've done a couple of times. This past trip, my wife was meeting me in a couple different places and riding with me in different parts if the country. This trip I had to plan out a little more than I normally would.
@jimmy morales In my experience, you can wing a day trip or an overnight trip. For the long haul, prepping is the difference between enjoying and overcoming. I like the adventure of seeing new things, being outside, and meeting cool people. Resolving for problems on the road because of lack of prep is a drag. My .02 cents- to each their own.
@@neilreid9005 You're absolutely right. I do tend to over plan tho.. As experienced as I am, I still make that mistake. But, youre right being prepared is everything, especially when you're on the road for 30 days.

A really thoughtful and detailed method of packing. Well Done!!

Great video and much needed. I have been trying to get an organized packing list for a year now.
Glad it was helpful!
Semper Fi. It seems we have learned how to pack for SHTF. 😁

Yes.. Check out Zoe on As the Magpie Flies. If you're planning any sort of off road or camping while riding, check her out.

Great Video, No tire repair kit or pump?
Awesome video man!
Thanks!
Saving this video. I’m an atrocious packer

Yeah, I tend to over pack. In reality I could have halved the amount of clothing I packed for that trip. I'm not patching tires tho.

No tubeless tire puncture repair kit?
Melvin INF and a compressor?
Nope!
It's easier to keep the AAA card close by..🤣🤣

Where do you get that Bento box?
I'm sure my wife found it on Amazon.
Two jeans a t-shirt let’s go.
Hi very good information. I can’t find your email in order asking for your packing list.

If the link below doesn't work.. Its called Reda.

@@wingandhog The one I'm using is the one I used in the Harley. I don't think there's specifically for GW
@@HowWeGoldwing ….. Yes. As I got to the end of that video, I thought the gas can looked exactly like mine. That’s good to know. Thank you!
Dude your kill me. Just ride.
So, just take off for a month, no gear or prep?
I think you meant, you're...killing me!
