    Wow, I’m shocked that you’re on this wing. I’ve had my DCT Tourer right at 5 years. I’m so excited for you. My experience was I waited forever for this bike to come in here in Lubbock, Texas. It finally did May of 2018. I watched for it forever. I test rode it only wondering who the hell would want a DCT. Not me, just curious I was. I never let the dealership have it back after that demo. Purchased it immediately. Now, 5 years later, I wonder who the hell would want a manual. I’ve been riding over 50 years, Goldwing since 1981. This is absolutely the most incredible, comfortable, luxurious motorcycle on the market to date. At least in my mind. I’m so excited for you, so excited to see upcoming content on this Goldwing. You’re awesome, your content is awesome and funny a lot too. Thanks for all you contribute to us old men on motorcycles. Ride on Sister… Ride on…

    @TheTexasBo Год назад +38

    One thing about the DCT that I’ve tried to describe to folks is how it seems to change the riding experience. It’s a difficult thing to quantify. You’ve obviously been riding long enough that your clutch and shifter operation are done almost on a subconscious level. With the DCT and without a clutch or shifter to operate, I seem to focus on different aspects of the ride. The DCT seems to enhance the experience. Still have a few H-D’s and a ‘15 Goldwing, but the ‘21 is difficult to leave in the shop. Have fun with it!

    • @danhorntx
      @danhorntx Год назад +10

      I agree Bo! I recently got a '21 Africa Twin DCT and I've owned several dirtbikes and ADV bikes before this one but no longer focusing on clutch work makes it so much easier to traverse terrain and enjoy the ride. Even when I'm just cruising down a regular road it frees you up to take in the moment a bit more and enjoy the ride that much more. I never thought I'd like the DCT until I got a really good deal on one and I fell in love with it. My other bike is an Indian Chieftain but I could definitely see a DCT Goldwing in my future!

    • @KurtisIsley
      @KurtisIsley Год назад +6

      I agree, Bo. I just bought a 2023 GW DCT 2 days ago and the DCT frees up having to think about what gear you are in or what gear you should be in. That portion of your brain that was devoted to shifting can now be applied to other, more important aspects of your ride.

    Congrats on trying the Goldwing. The reason Honda only sells that model with DCT is that when it came out, over 90% of the units sold were ordered with DCT. Once you get used to it, (I have DCT on my Honda CTX700) you'll love it. I am a DCT lover. Especially in traffic where it won't wear out your left hand. And it is beautiful, smooth, and powerful. The only thing you may miss from a Harley is the ability to rev-bomb it, and if you like the exhaust noise. You can get narrower after market seats, if you need one. Welcome aboard. 👍🏾 For a name? I'm partial to BBW.😋

Honda was smart to loan you this bike and can't wait to see more of this and longer rides, especially since Honda is not great at allowing test rides, at least not around here.

      I've owned over 50 bikes over the decades, including several Harleys and 2 Gold Wings now. Enjoyed the Harleys, but the GW's are just a far superior bike in all ways. No comparison is fair. Comfort, speed, handling, tech, sporting riding and long distance riding. The Wing just is better. I don't much like DCT, an old school gear banger here, but that's just my preference. If you end up with a Wing you won't be disappointed.

    The Honda Goldwing is the ultimate touring bike. It may not be the coolest, but it beats all others hands down. You will also find those Nikes becoming your favorite shoes to wear, but they are not cool either. The closer you get to 40, the less important "cool" becomes. That is just some fatherly advice. BTW, you rocked more "Dad" stuff in this video than I have my entire life. LOL Enjoy the ride!

Grew up outside of Toledo on the back of dad's Goldwing, so that's my next bike. I'd like to see your experience in packing the bike and it's ability to store the gear that you need and how well it does it or doesn't. What is the bike missing? Do you need to supplement with any extra gear to make the bike work for you? How does it do with the dirt/gravel roads that lead into sites? Is it stable? Can you put all of your camping gear on/in the bike and have room leftover for a bundle of firewood (or is that a separate trip)?
      Also, like you, I have a short inseam...about 29 to 30 inches, so if you change the seat, what do you change it to? I've sat on a couple of new Wings at the showrooms, and am definitely on my toes...not the most comfortable feeling, so how are you overcoming that? And, how does it do around the city...in traffic/at stoplights, etc?
      What about lean angles? Not looking for numbers, but looking for feelings...does it feel heavy as you lean it? Is it easy enough to re-right the bike or does it feel heavy?
      Do you find the computer and high-tech stuff on the bike good? Is there too much? Is it too complicated? Too many menus? Not intuitive? How well does it integrate with an iPhone vs an Android phone? Do you care about stuff like that?
      Any insight into these types of experiences would be great! Thanks Jess and keep the videos coming...love seeing parts of Ohio...loving Southern California weather, but Ohio feels like home!

    BMW took the R18 back, but now you have this Gold Wing, just as the weather is turning for the sunshine. Not a bad turn of events. Right on!!

    Love the intro story. Took me a while to notice the shirt was a Law Tigers shirt. Nice twofer there! Don't make it your regular riding gear. ATGATT. Wear the gear, it'll save your rear!™
    Yeah, the Goldwings have a shit ton of torque. 10 years back or so, about 125ft lbs IIRC. Pre DCT.
    FWIW, I've never ridden a DCT, but I'm not interested in a bike with an automatic transmission.
    The wide seat makes for more all day comfort, but it does make for a longer reach to the ground than the seat height might imply.
    BTW, I wouldn't recommend you adjust the windscreen at highway speeds. Well, don't adjust it up. That's hard on the motor. Save it for when you're stopped or doing say... 25mph or less. Of course it's a loaner, so, I'm sure the motor won't burn out on you. Modern adjustable screens do have beefier motors (possibly), but I'd avoid it just the same.
    I know a couple of guys that can RIDE that own Goldwings. They love them. Great for clocking miles, they say. One of em is a Harley fan, too. The other wouldn't be caught dead on one. lol. Some people...
    Looks like I may need to see you soon at a MA meeting. My name is Ride and I am a Motoholic.
    Clamshell bags have their benefits. You just need to pack different. I have some clamshell Pelican bags on my F800GS. The lid drops down to like a shelf while I'm messing with my cameras, or digging for gloves, etc. Of course, if I don't put some things in bags and just shove em in the bag loose, well... I've never dumped half the contents on the ground at least. My Road King has top lids, so that's not a problem, but they're oddly shaped and hold way less. I just adapt.

    My 2018 Hawkeye blue DCT is called Sapphire. So glad you got to experience the Dad ride. I was grinning ear to ear knowing the sport mode would make you giggle. I hope you get to experience a longer ride. I cane from a 2003 Electra Glide Classic and I love my Dad ride. It is almost too easy to ride,.if that can be a negative.

    Congrats!! I just bought a 2023 Gold Wing DCT two days ago and I love it. I do slightly miss the fun of shifting gears on a bike with a manual transmission and I do miss extending my fingers and resting them on the clutch lever. But as others have said, the DCT allows you to focus more on other aspects of your ride: whether starting or stopping or taking a challenging curve, that small percentage of your brain power that was devoted to shifting gears on a manual transmission can now be applied to other, more important parts of your riding experience.

    I had a nearly new 1978 Honda GW 1000 back around 1980 ish. Have had many bikes since but since 2017 I’ve been scooting around on a Honda GW F6B. This past summer (2022), I probably rode past your region as I rode from Alberta across Canada to Yarmouth NS, took the ferry across to Bangor Maine then rode back along the northern states to Montana and back home to Alberta. It’s a great bike to ride!

    Awesome!!! The more touring bikes the better! Personally, the new Wings are a bit too sporty for me, but there's no doubt they're great machines! Also, one of my favorite parts of my Challenger is the adjustable windscreen. It's a better life and Harley needs to catch up in that regard! That said, no clue what Honda is thinking with the clam shell bags. Whhhhhy. Oh well, that blue is amazing! Beautiful machine!
