Beautiful roads and scenery. Quite different from up here in the Northeast. Keep on riding and posting!
that sounds like its engine is burning
Yes. At that RPM I expect so.
Welcome back and thanks for posting your trip. Always great to see your environs in sunny San Diego from here in rainy UK. I have a question or two, did you make that long journey to San Francisco you spoke about in an earlier video? Any other trips planned? Thanks again
@@chris-way Thanks. Great to hear from you! No. I have yet to do the SF trip. My thinking was to do it by the end of the year. After the AZ ride earlier which was 7 hours one way. I will be sure to break up the SF ride to smaller segments to reduce the stress on my butt and hands which AZ trip exposed. My plan is to film the better segments of the SF trip to post to UA-cam. Anyhow hope all is well with you😀
Thanks for posting this, having only ridden a manual GW I have been waiting to see the DCT GW ridden this way.
Do you have to carry your helmet, gloves and jacket around with you after you park up? and do you miss not having a trunk to put your kit in?
The gold wing does provide a place to lock your helmet to the bike. And I am able to squish my leather jacket into the side compartment and lock that up. But. Most often I park nearby where I can see the bike, and leave my helmet and jacket sitting on top. Like when at lunch. Thanks for your question. Stay safe.
@@SDWalta I look forward to your next video. Thank you!
Not much of a "review" here. Just someone riding his bike
Yes I try to just focus on what I like about the bike and some mods I added. There are a ton of more specific reviews on UA-cam that cover the more technical specifics. Thanks for your feedback. Stay safe.
Nice bike! Did you get the dealer to install the risers and the highway pegs?
No. I did it myself. There are easy to follow UA-cam videos for so many of the gold wing tasks.
😛
Literally just bought the same Wing as yours. She's a ripper.....!
Very cool!!! Congratulations!! Stay safe !😎
Orange county?
Why do the shifts seem so jerky when you get on it, seems like its lurching forward a lot in the beginning of the video? Is that normal?
Good question. It’s due to just taking the RPM’s to red line. So when I paddle shift to the next gear , it really jumps. Take care stay safe!
My friend, I have to point out how impressed I am with the fact that, the very first thing you did, was blow that red light at the very beginning of ride 😂👍 Nice review… Hope to get one very soon.
Thank you very much!😀Stay safe!
Mt wachhsett! I used to live in Leominster ma. Too funny. Love your insights! Thanks for sharing. Ride safe.
Great to hear from you! Yes the new grips are perfect for hand fatigue. I still battle with white knuckle syndrome. Where while the larger grips did help I still grip it too tight. I work on relaxing my grip every ride. I agree sport mode is crazy fun and demands max concentration 😀 Take care man Ride safe
You are living the good life and that is what retirement is all about. The WIng will keep you young. I love my 2023 bagger DCT and I hope I can keep on it until at least 80 like a gent I met riding an old gen Wing at Mt Wachusett. Ride safe and often.
Nice ride, great scenery and very good sound and video. While riding my new bagger DCT last year I noticed hand cramping due to the small grip size. I had the same issue with my 2016 KTM1290 SA so I bought some sharkskin grip puppies that worked great. But for the Wing I wanted something that looked good so I got myself the same goldstrike grips for Christmas that you have . They look great on your bike and now I'm happy I got them. We still have cold weather up here in the northeast but when it warms up I'm putting them on. That sport mode is ferocious and I only use it sparingly. Ride safe and often!
i like the real world video truly gives a feeel what the bike is really liike
Used to live in SoCal, miss the weather and geography not the prices or the politics but this was a good video to "feel" the Goldwing on familiar roads.
Did your aftermarket windscreen make a big difference? I just bought a 2023 DCT and am wondering if I should get the F4. Thanks.
Yes. For me it was a big improvement for 2 reasons. Much better wind protection. And so much easier to keep clean because it doesn’t scratch. Now I can see how most people would be fine with the stock shield. I am extra bothered by wind. It makes me feel less control. If you are at all uncomfortable now, I wouldn’t hesitate to get a shield with more coverage. I am happy with the F4, but I would think there are others just as great. Stay safe!
Thanks again for the ride-along with a sunny blue sky day in December that I rarely see.
Thanks! Yes San Diego weather does take the bite out of winter 😊.
Thanks for a great vid calms me down😂glad to hear your eye is in good shape after the operation greetings from sa.
Thanks Johnny ! Stay safe !
@@SDWalta greetings for the season hope you will have a wonderful time with family be safe💪👍
Missed your vdos...great you are better 🙏🏼
Thanks ! I appreciate your thoughts. Stay safe !
What brand of backrest do you have? Thanks. Great video.
Thanks! The backrest is the honda part number 08R70-MKC-A10. Stay safe.
@@SDWalta appreciate that.
Like your riding vids greetings from south africa
Thanks! Great to hear from you! Hope to visit your part of the world some day. I have been busy golfing. Will get some more videos up at some point. Stay safe !
@@SDWalta 👍👍
I love my 2023 Goldwing. I got it almost 10 months ago, and I've ridden over 13,000 miles on it. The DCT is a bit quirky and takes a bit of getting used to when stopping at a light. (It jerks a bit when downshifting.) I always ride in manual mode, so I can decide when to shift gears. This will be the last bike I'll ever own.
Yes! What an amazing ride I agree! About the jerky down shifting. I don’t feel that. It seems pretty smooth. Have you tried doing the steps to calibrate the DCT? Maybe that will help. In any event I too won’t be riding anything else 😊 Stay safe!
Does this have Apple Car Play?
Yes. I actually use Apple car play a lot. The navigation is much better and music options are excellent. The one quirk is that I have to disconnect then re connect the cable to my iPhone after shutting off the bike, then starting it up again. Else it won’t provide Apple car play as an option on the bikes display.
Love your video. I’ve been debating getting either a DCT Wing or a manual, but after watching this I think the DCT is the way to go. What brand of after-market windshield did you get? It looks like it might be a big improvement over the smaller OEM unit. Thanks much!
ThAnks for your support. I have the F4 customs windshield. It’s the 20 inch wide clear version. The extra width is great. Plus it can be cleaned with a wet cloth. It won’t scratch. You will love the DCT. !
I don't like it, your in 4th gear befor you even get across the intersection.
Yes it will shift really quickly in tour mode. But in sport mode it will hold each gear longer and run up the RPM’s. Best of both worlds.
Can I ask which luggage rack you have on the back?
Honda Rear Luggage tie down 08L72-MKC-A10 KIT,RR CARRIER Partzilla.com
So it only holds for a few seconds when you release the brake lever, but to stay put on a hill you have to continually hold the front brake lever- like most bikes. Other bikes with Hill Assist you squeeze the lever once and let go and the brakes hold till you accelerate. BMW RT has this on the newer bikes.
Nice ride. thanks
your left hand still thinks there's a clutch lever LOL
Old habits die hard !
It all comes with time slow speed maneuvering is an issue even for the pro DCT is hard
Thanks for the feedback! Yes. In all the research I have done it supports your view. Time and practice. I have noticed I am getting better. DCT requires that nice touch between foot brake and throttle. And trust to lean the bike at slow speeds. It’s a work in progress 😀. Stay safe !
quick question does honda recommend letting off gas when shifting manually in sport mode?
Good question. In using paddle shifters on cars , it was not expected to let off gas between shifting. Same with automatic transmissions. So I just expected the same from the DCT. Though I did back off the throttle when going at it hard. I was worried of red lining it.
10:35 That’s exactly what I told my daughter when I gave her my old bike. Ride like you’re invisible! Some people simply don’t register motorcycles when they drive.
You are a great dad! 😀
That is a great color scheme!
Yes I agree They did a good job with this version of the bike. It is super easy to clean and stays looking clean even when it collects road dirt. 😀
Awesome vid. Love this.
Thanks! Great to hear from you 😀
😒 *promo sm*
Sir...why only 360p this time ☹️ ❓
Hmmm. Could be this. When I upload to UA-cam it first processes the standard definition version. And makes that public. Then it takes another hour or so to process the high definition version. So. Try waiting a couple hours after notification so you can view the higher quality version. Let me know if that works. Thanks !
@@SDWalta Will definately try again...Thank you 🙏🏼
Long time again no vdos ? Just thought about you and your bike as I woke up for the morning...an hour ago !! Was happily surprised to see you in my notifications 👍
Thanks for the feedback ! I am very motivated by the support of our family of members. You guys are awesome 😀. Stay safe ! More to come.
@@SDWalta Still smiling from ear to ear since you put it into "aggressive" mode 😁
Want to sell ?I live in San Diego.
Nice to hear from you 😀Hmmmm. Sell what???
Thank you for the nice video hope to get the same bike by xmas.
Awesome!! You will love it ✅😀
Windex and paper towel? Maybe plain waterand a microfiber towel instead?
Yes. That makes sense. I will try it 😀 Thanks!
Yes. Only used water and micro fiber towel and it worked perfect. Great tip ! Thanks!
Thanks for the ride, I enjoyed the scenery and your calm voice explaining the surroundings. Greetings from holland.
Great to hear from you Bram in Holland😀 thanks for the feed back! Take care.
Nice review keep up the good work
I watched your vlog’s for a long time and enjoyed then all, i had a 2006 gold wing a I loved it. I had lost my legs so all I do is enjoy your videos thank you and your bike is bitchin. Thanks again
So great to hear from you! It is like a family here with all of us sharing a common love for Gold Wings and motorcycles in general. Thank you SO much for your kind words!
Subscribed a while back because you seem to be a genuine guy with a nice point of view and great attitude, without any of the petty complaints most UA-camr GoldWing owners have. At least, the ones I've seen videos of. Thanks a lot for the ride, amigo. Appreciate it. Warm greetings from Belgium.
Thanks for your kind comments. I enjoy hearing your thoughts. It's most awesome to share thoughts about such an epic motorcycle 😀 we have a fun group of UA-camrs here. Stay safe !
Nice ride! How's your tail rack? Can you hold a decent sized bag on it? Are tie-downs fairly secure/solid? Slow turns / uturns.....practice practice practice!!! 😊 Greg on Motojitsu is the best guy to learn from! Find yourself an empty parking lot and practice in-between parking lines!
Yes. The tie downs have been excellent. It can hold quite large stuff. I have a variety of different tie down bungie cables of different lengths. It works great very secure. Yes. You are correct about both, practice, and MotoJitsu! Stay Safe!
lemme know next time you're up in Prescott, we'll go wingin
When you get on your bike…. Do you step onto the peg and then swing your leg over or do you swing your leg over while flat-footed on the ground? I have a low-rider Harley and want a touring bike…. but I have a really bad hip.
Yes. I step on the peg, then swing my leg over the backrest. Stay safe!
Try getting on the high side footboard. It's better for you, giving much more clearance to lift your foot over the seat. Watch how motor officers get on their motors. I only board my bike on the high side ever since I saw that.
@@gmbmesa to be honest… I never thought foot-boards were built to handle a guys entire weight. I’ve always thought they were there just to rest your feet on. I have never once stood on the foot boards of my Harley.
