Hey Rich and Kate, sorry to hear about your troubles. Glad you were able to connect with Chris and Rich. Just goes to show you how great the biking community is. I once rescued a stranded biker in much the same way. I rode home got my truck and trailer and then took them to the dealers ship for repairs. Take care and safe travels. Dave
You summed it up Dave (Just goes to show you how great the biking community is.) We have a great community for sure. Rich and Chris are among the best. We had several ppl respond to a post on FB. The phone calls and texts, emails, etc. just amazing. One person took off work to come to our assistance, and others let us stay out there homes while waiting to get the bike fixed. We are grateful to be a part of the biker community. I know the ppl you rescued were truly grateful as well. Thanks Dave.
Your bad day on the road is better than a good day at work!
You got that right! I take the road day (Good or Bad) any day. Thanks for watching.
Hey y’all! Hate to hear about the bike troubles, but how awesome is it that Rich and Chris came to the rescue?! Love their content! Safe travels!
Hey Derrick...It happens, too bad we had to meet them on a breakdown. But it turned out to be a really great week.
Heck of a way to have a first meet up but so happy to see you are getting premium help. Good reminder that things do happen.
Yeah our first meet-up with them had to be a rescue lol. Have a great day OG.
Absolutely a blessing that you were so close to Rich and Chris, and that they were willing, and had the means to help out!!!!!
We were truly blessed for sure.
Well, well, finally see Rich & Chris alive and well but on a different channel!!!! Earl eh? On another note, I was having my scoot fixed (under warranty) and saw a blue scoot, thought of Jet Blue, and told the salesman I'd be back as soon as I got mine home. So I have Pokey Blue instead of Jet Blue 🤣 and NO, I'm not calling her that!!!!!
I just glad it wasn't something more serious to cause a delay.
Yup Rich and Chris are alive and well. Good people. Earl or is it Oil lol. Pokey Blue sounds good to me. Jet Blue is all good and back on the road. thanks for watching.
the fact a dealer never worked on a clutch! wow reliable !!! sorry you had to be that first one lol safe travels!
Yeah AB, we weren't going to be there test case lol.
I kinda feel bad clicking LIKE on your video, because I sure feel for you and any other rider that has a break down thats bad like yours. Hope you get it fixed in a timely manor so you can get back under way enjoying the ride. I too follow Rich and Chris, they and you folks have done and are doing what I've only dreamed of doing. I ride a 2016 Wing, it's my 3rd one. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that Dennis. Yeah, it's fixed and back on the road, rolling smoothly as ever. Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate it.
God is Good, glad you were able to hook up with Rich & Chris, nice seeing them again. Hopefully it won’t be too painful on the pockets to repair. Safe Travels
We are truly blessed. Rich and Chris are amazing people. Jet Blue is back on the road and doing well. It was a bad day that turned into a really good week. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Liv'n the life... sorry about the troubles. Sounds like you have a plan though. A little jealous you get to spend 6 months at a time on the bikes :-) Ride Safe Friends.
Thanks Robert …we back on the road thanks to a Wing specialist. We love the road life.
I'm glad yall weren't too far in the boonies when kakes Bike stopped and good people to help. Travel safe, kin folk!
Yeah, good thing they were nearby.
Thats a lot of work getting into the clutch on those Goldwings, hope it all works out quickly for you......JB..
Yeah Wayne, We saw a video on Partzilla. To much work for me. If we were home maybe I would give it a shot. "Maybe" lol
Man, that's a lot of miles on that clutch! At least it wasn't something major, luckily the clutch is a wearable component. Hope you two get that fixed soon and get back down the road!
Yeah Joe we have a friend in Cali that has over 200k on his bike with no clutch issues. So we are surprised that this happened. Hopefully, we are all good on my (Rich"s) bike.
I love watching your videos. I'm here in Sugarland Texas nextdoor to Houston. I have a Goldwing also and the wife and I just love hitting the road. Stay safe you guys. Oh and I'm so glad Rich and Cris came to your rescue. I have followed them as well.
That is awesome, we have family in Houston. We will be passing through on our way home in April. Hopefully, we can meet up for a ride or a meal. We are thankfully Rich and Chris were nearby. They are good people.
@BootsandJeansRiders We would love to meet up with you guys for a meal. I will keep April in mind and try following you to see when we can arrange this. Once again stay safe and may God bless.
Glad they came to help you get back on the road
What up Bentron. Yeah, we are fortunate we were heading to meet them when it happened. We also met a really good man in North AK who came to help us.
Stay tuned for the next video.
So sorry to hear about your troubles with Jet Blue. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get him fixed. Ride Safely!
Thanks for watching. Jet Blue was acting up that day. He is fine now and back on the road.
waiting for the next episode.......
It's coming, We made the best of a bad situation.
Oh man! What a meet up! Thank heavens for Chris & Rich, ❤ and you having an emergency fund! When you attempted to go up that ramp with Jet Blue my heart dropped. So glad you did not hurt yourself. My bike will only go 20mph in limp mode. So you are lucky Jet Blue did 40mph. Now on to part two of your adventure. 😊
Rich and Chris are fantastic people, we had a great time with them. Yeah if that ramp would’ve been higher, I would’ve been in trouble. Thanks again for watching.
Uh, er, um, a 150k miles, and the Honda needs a little TLC ?? That's actually a pretty amazing stat 😃👍 I sure hope you're back on the road quickly.
Yeah Wayne, We talked to friends that have over 250k on his GW and the clutch hasn't given him any problems. Happy Holidays
While we all know shit happens out there on the road, still really sucks that you guys are going through this!! Luckily you knew people that were willing to rescue you guys!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!!!
Yeah GB it was a bad day but turned out to be a good week. There are some awesome people ut there and Rich and Chris are among the best. Merry Christmas!
👋🏾 Hey guys, I just happened upon your channel and took a look for a few minutes and I was compelled to hit just about every button except the “report” button!!! As a Honda Rebel 1100 DCT rider with Goldwing aspirations, your content definitely appeals to me. I hope everything will continue looking up and I can’t wait for the next installment! Merry Christmas!!! 👏🏾 🙏🏾👍🏾✌🏾
Welcome aboard! We appreciate you coming along for a great ride. When you get your Gold Wing, you will absolutely love it. We are happy that you are aspiring to get a wing. We love ours.
Thanks for checking us out.
I hope everything works out Mate , wonderful people helping you out Mate 😎 You did well riding it at 40 miles an hour. Have a great Christmas.
Yes...It all worked out. Have a great Christmas as well.
I was lucky enough to meet Chris and Rich some time back, such great folks!!!
Yeah Patrick, they are truly great folks.
💩 happens! How true! Good luck.
Poop Happens LOL. Thanks for watching.
😂😂 Jet Blue is acting a fool😂😂
Dang blue, you are treated so well😢
Two wheels Big Life are back on the scene 😮 that's awesome news.
Yeah, Jet Blue didn't want to act right lol. Fortunately, we were headed to meet with Two Wheels Big Life, so they were close by.
oh man. I hope the other shop can get to it and get you guys back riding.
We went to a GW specialist 500+ miles away. Fixed and back on the road.
I like watching there channel and got some value out of there content..... they comig to help out was awesome..... that's unfortunately the things that happen.....good stuff
Hey Slappy, man they are really good people. They treated us right and we had a good time, despite having bike problems. (BTW they are back posting videos.)
I know it is not fun when a breakdown happens, but how is it you make it look fun? LOL! Great that you had a contact to help out... looking forward to the next video!
Yeah, It was a frustrating day that turned out to be a good week. We made the best out of a bad situation. The next video coming soon
This HD rescuing Goldwings is becoming an epidemic.lol. I was also rescued by HD riders. Curious of whether the bike gave any warning? Jet Blue have served you well at a 150K. Didn’t think a clutch could go that long. Treat him/her to a new clutch. Merry Christmas to you both.
"This HD rescuing Goldwings is becoming an epidemic" Yeah Rich we saw your video lol. There was no warning at all. It started that same morning. We know several people with over 200k miles and never had a clutch problem. I (Rich) have 180+ miles, and not experiencing any indications of clutch failure. 🤞🏼
Glad it was a fixable thing. Clutches go. I had a friend he would burn through a clutch quick he did a lot of drill team stuff on his GL1800.
Yeah Pete, it's fixed and rolling like a champ.
Oh yeah, the "friction zone" riders. That is not a cheap fix!
I love the channel! What helmet communication you guys are using? Keep doing great things🙌🏾
Thank you so much. We use Sena 50s communications.
@twowheelsbiglife shout of appreciation to you as, “Here you come to save the day!🎼 🎵 🎶” for the Rich and Kake @bootsandjeansriders 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah fortunately we were already heading to meet up with them. But Jet Blue didn't want to act right lol.
What a way to meet up, they are good people for sure. Hoping all worked out
Hey BoDean52, How are you? Fortunately, we were headed to meet with them and they were close. Yes, it all worked out.
Wow!!! I have a 2k1 and had to replace my clutch in April this year. When i heard the symptoms, i knew the clutch was gone. They kept my bike 2 months at a cost of about $1900.
How many miles did you have on your 01 when the clutch failed?
Hey Pete...Man, 2 months, that's a lifetime lol. Same question as TheMattymatt52 asked...How many miles were on the bike when it failed?
I have the same question as @@TheMattymatt52
life on the road
Yup...Life on the road. If it can happen...It will happen. LOL
See ya in the next episode!!
Cool! The day was bad, but it was a good week.
CLUTCH??? I've NEVER seen a clutch worn out on a GL1800. Most Honda dealers can't fix anything on a Goldwing, past oil, air filter, brakes, tires. They won't take the time to use the factory manuals and special tools to diagnose a problem, just start guessing and changing parts. A very expensive way to tackle a problem on a G/Wing. Good Luck!
Neither have we. I know people that have over 200k on their wing and never had any problems with the clutch. So true about the dealers, fortunately we found a specialist and we are back on the road.😊
@@BootsandJeansRiders could it be that the clutch has fried due to excessive slow speed maneuvres you ve been doing with it? Goldwings do go for 150k+ miles easy, but you dont see much if any owners doing slow speed exercizes religiously like you guys..
@@devianthousend that could have been the reason it went out. Maybe she was the unlucky one.
@@BootsandJeansRiders so how much did the clutch replacement cost at the end of the day?
Hoping all worked out Merry Christmas.
Thanks Derrick...It did, all worked out. Merry Christmas
Doesn't matter what it is. They all brake down eventually.
Amen to that Andy.
I can understand if someone really needs to use the restroom NOW, but to block the roadway in the process is very inconsiderate. Probably the same type of folks that park in the emergency vehicle area in front of the store, because they think they are so dang important. They also park in the handicap spots, when they are not handicapped. Yeah, the rare occasion when a Honda breaks down, Harley riders like to laugh. But the reality of it is that I see at least a half dozen Harley's broke down on the side of the road every year, just in this area of TN. I haven't seen a Honda, Kawasaki, etc broke down even once. Bummer that it happened to y'all, but at last she wasn't riding somewhere alone at night in the boonies. Glad y'all found help.
They were really inconsiderate...Kake went inside the restroom and asked them to move to the parking stall. Yeah Honda rarely breaks down, but when they do, hardly anyone likes to show it on video. We are fortunate that great people came to our rescue. For sure (at least she wasn't riding somewhere alone at night in the boonies.) Thanks Tenn.
Anyways seems like breakdowns happen just as the weekend starts!!!!
Oh so true, And this was a holiday weekend...Thanksgiving weekend. (videos are late)
My Gold Wing did the same and it was the fuel filter clogged. New filter and it ran like new again.
I see you saw the other video lol
Wow, sorry for your troubles. I have the same bike. And I do a lot of road trip in myself. I guess then things can happen. Just wondering how much it cost so that I will maybe have enough saved up LO L. 😮L😮😮😮😮
The first dealer couldn't fix it. The 2nd dealer wanted $2600+ (ouch!) and that was before they looked at the clutch. Finally, we took it to a GW specialist 500+ miles away (Wing Nut) in GA. New clutch parts and labor, around $700. Jet Blue is back on the road and feeling fine.
God is good. That's not bad. Put you in the right place at the right time.
And you call your bike. Jet blue and I call mine blue bayou
There is a ‘how to replace the clutch’ video on Revzilla channel, but I’m sure you’ve already got it fixed by now…
Yeah, we watched that video, (very detailed.) If we were home maybe, just maybe we would have attempted to work on it ourselves. However, I probably would have made the problem worse lol. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.
A Honda shop that has never worked on a clutch😮 That says a lot about the quality of the Wing.
Big shot out to Two Wheels Big Life🎉
I believe you are so right about the quality of the wing. Mine's is an 08 with 145,000 miles, still looks and rides superbly well.
"A Honda shop that has never worked on a clutch😮 That says a lot about the quality of the Wing." So very true.
@@TheMattymatt52 Yes the reliability of the GW, is unmatched. One in a Million (Jet Blue) isn't bad. Too bad we had to be that one lol.
How did you eventually get the bike on the trailer?
Keke rode it to the dealer, and Rich covered her rear with the truck. The first dealer never worked on a GW clutch, so we decided to take it elsewhere. The dealer was kind enough to let us use his ramps, which went over the top of that high metal bar.
Hate to see bike broke down. Can i ask what brand is your white tow behind cargo
Kake is towing a Can-Am 622 trailer. and I tow an Anspen classic camper.
@@BootsandJeansRiders thanks for getting back to me fast I really enjoyed watching yall. One more question if you don't mind that canopy and that tent you put up hanging on the canopy what is the name of that tent and where do you get it at
Is her bike a DCT
No isn't. 2015 Gold Wing F6B Deluxe.
I think you blowed this issue way out out of proportion for this video. You are out for views, not facts.
Fact...Of course, we are looking for views, everyone who posts videos is looking for views, regardless of the topic, it's what YT is all about...Sharing videos. I have no idea what you were expecting. But nothing on this video was staged. The fact is, we were having problems. As you can see, at the beginning of the video, were were leaving camp having a great time. Perhaps you were looking for tragedy or misery, expecting/hoping to see the worst. I don't know because there are no facts explaining your comment. Yes, we were having a bad day and fortunately good people came and helped us out.
