@@pod-puretone it’s amazing how a big bike like these hold the line. Steady with zero wiggle. 👍🏻

@@royhall3760 sorry to hear that. That really stinks. Hoping to get back to that area next year..I was thinking of the fall but now I dk about that! Stay safe out there!

@@joeharley87 I could see that yeah. Next time I’ll just let the gopro record without the external mic. 👍🏻

@@BobLorentz-i5h it’s a great ride. We didn’t stop at the monument/viewpoint sadly.

@@TwoupwiththeTueys it’s been a really great bike thus far! Almost 38000 miles on the clock!

@@motorider4130 mine is a '94 1500 se with 60000

@@TwoupwiththeTueys nothing wrong with those 1500’s. Honda makes a great bike.

@@robgray_ yes I use ACP to use the routing app MRA (My Route App). It’s a fantastic app that is also available online where you can easily create routes and save them to your MRA account. I believe you can create a free account in case you are interested. They also offer options where you can purchase a lifetime account have access to their library of routes and many other options when creating your own routes. I should probably think about doing a video on this app/website.

Nice video. I'll be subscriber #359 😊😊

@@TwoupwiththeTueys we also went south on 28 to South Carolina which was really twisty!

I was actually surprised by it..had no idea of what to expect. Pretty cool to see something like that in person. Plus there’s a little visitor center.

@@motorider4130 Beautiful area. We have a big one like that here at Kerr Lake. Doing the Cherohala next trip so maybe we'll get to Fontana also. After all your time with the 6 speed, have you wished for the DCT?

@@Hogdriver88 sometimes yes lol..but I really enjoy shifting in the twisties. I know you can do that with the DCT as well but to me it’s not the same. I’ll probably switch to the DCT in about 2-3 years when I sell my 2018. Currently at 34,500 miles so I expect to hit at least 50k before that. Everyone I know who has the DCT loves it.

@@motorider4130 DCT is really good. Not the same as a manual, but still really good. I'm looking again and thinking of going back to the Tour DCT but I need to ride a 6 speed first.

So I’ve heard! We rode the moonshiner 28 all the way down into GA and SC..they paved the road in GA with fresh pavement! Also a ton of fun! We did end up riding NC 80 south -aka the devils whip - from where the BRP intersects. Looking forward to going back next year.

​@@motorider4130 We were right there at 80 but after 226A continued on to Maggie Valley and Wheels Through Time. BRP was excellent too. There’s a lot I need to cover out there!

@@Hogdriver88 agreed!

My wife and I were just there on June 30th. We rode the Dragon and Cherahola Skyway, missed the 28. Then went to the Dragon Slayer in Lynch, KY to Appalachia, VA on KY 160. Great rides!

@@TwoupwiththeTueys nice! I hear that 160 is awesome! Hoping to get back to NC/TN next year again!

Sorry for the late reply! I saw it this morning but forgot to respond. I think I may have gotten it at Harbor Freight? It’s been awhile so I apologize.

That’s fine. No one is forcing you to watch.

I believe it was Route 33 at the Germany Valley Overlook near Franklin WV. Great road if you can ride it. Beautiful scenery.

Stupid GoPro lol… not sure if the mic wasn’t connected or something else. I haven’t used it since then but I will doing a vlog next week at some point so we’ll see. Thanks for watching! Your HD is a pretty sweet ride!

​@@motorider4130 Thanks! I don’t hate it…. Then again, I don’t love it either 😆. I think DJI might be the way to go for a camera, along with their remote mic system. But more than I want to spend now unless GoPro puts me completely over the edge 🤬

@@Hogdriver88 😂😂 I’ll stick with hero 8 black for now. Thinking about adding an insta360 next season. We’ll see..I have other things I want to spend $$ on..haha

Yeah it was a cute town. The place we stopped to have lunch only serves breakfast and closes at 2pm lol. So we had a second breakfast while they closed up. Very friendly people all around. So the flashing snowflakes were happening bc my audio unit completely failed on me the day before on our way to WV. Thankfully I have an extended warranty and it was covered. Took about a month to get it done - between Honda and the dealer it took forever.

@@motorider4130 Nothing wrong with 2 breakfasts! I think you may have mentioned this in a previous video.... glad you got it sorted. I've read that the radio wasn't covered by the extended warranty - couldn't imagine paying for that repair.

@@Hogdriver88 me neither..somewhere in the neighborhood of 3500!

Yes the issue has been resolved. Unfortunately I had to have the audio unit replaced. Thankfully I have an extended warranty which I was not sure would cover it..however Honda did replace it saving me $$. Everything is back in working order. 👍🏻

just wondering, why are you not sure if Honda would cover the radio under extended warranty?

@@juliusebanculla3649 I called them and asked them directly. It states in the warranty that’s not but there have been more issues like mine cropping up lately. I gave it a 50/50 shot it would be covered.

@@motorider4130 doesn’t honda warranty covers the front to back of the bike? is it just limited warranty? please excuse my ignorance, but i’m coming off of a harley roadglide & as far as our warranty, if anything goes wrong on the bike, anything at all, the warranty covers it. i’m just concerned with honda on the stuff that is not covered under warranty & what are they. hmm..

Uh no..why would you think that?

I would cry, always got my way.

What can I tell you. I still think Honda is reliable and wouldn’t trade it for anything. Luckily my part was covered under extended warranty so I wouldn’t be too concerned with that aspect. I think you would still be fine with a goldwing.

Wait until you see the next few vids…the roads in WV were amazing. Thanks for watching!

@@motorider4130 I look forward to seeing them. My three favorite places to ride are NC anywhere west of I-77, Virginia west of Richmond and most all of WVA!

Thnx. Yeah it starts and rides like usual but I cannot switch modes at all..thankfully it’s in Tour mode as the default lol. Everything else works as it should minus the audio/nav which is a huge part of the bike. I’m hoping it’s something really easy to fix but I’m not 💯 on that.

Hey Craig..thanks for the comment. It’s actually not the original battery. I had to replace it about two years ago. Tested the battery today. 12.4 volts when turned on and 14.4 when running. Plus it had been off the tender for about 24 hours.

@@motorider4130 Ok. Please let us know what they diagnose it as. I haven't seen where you lose the TFT display as well as the stars displaying

Thanks for the info. I did test the battery today with a voltmeter.. everything looked good and in range. Approx 12.4 when the bike was on but not running..14.4 when the bike is running. I also swapped out all the fuses in case that was the issue. Nothing has changed thus far. I’ll keep posting my progress.

Thanks! It was a pretty cool looking town. Apparently it was a big railroad hub at one point in the past so I’m sure there must a historical record of it. I can’t wait to get back to NC next next year. 👍🏻

I know! I wish we had stayed in NC instead lol. Planning our next trip to be in NC/TN 2024. Can’t wait!

nice video keep it up

Lol absolutely way better than honda nav. I mainly use the Garmin when doing multi day trips and google maps for more local riding if needed. Over 3 years on the wing with really no issues. Added the Russell Day Long seat last season and it truly makes it an all day machine. I see you were in WVA..nice scenery there!

Love my Zumo XT..works great and is pretty reliable. Every now and again I have it on the wrong setting when I use an imported GPX file 😂. Best road I’ve ridden since I started riding 10 years ago.

Sweet! Hope you guys have a fantastic time! 🙏👍🏻

@@motorider4130 are you not near there

@@TheBlueBikeDoyle no sir..I live in New Jersey… not exactly around the corner…not that it couldn’t be done. I have heard about VAMM but never really investigated it to be honest.

@@motorider4130 it's good get together. 👍👍

Well it’s been almost two years and I’ve had no issues with the grips.

Yes the micro clutch switch on the left side went bad and Honda covered it. It took a month of back and forth between the dealer and Mother Honda..

On backroads and highway riding I usually get any where from 48-50 mpg. On highways I use cruise as much as possible..it seems to help quite a bit. When coming to a stop always downshifting for engine braking with brakes. When cruising backroads I try to keep it between 4-5th depending on the road..6th when cruising along at around 50. The low end torque is great for not shifting too much.

@@motorider4130 Ok thanks. I’ve read some comments that claimed they got over 80 mpg, but I’m wondering if they confused their units of measurement.

@@GeneralSirDouglasMcA that would be pretty insane to get 80mpg 😂 never heard that before.
