Wonderful video. You are a clam rider who enjoys the day of riding. Our wings can go to the moon and back, no issue. It's surly a work horse. The DCT for a place like that is superb.
Thanks AI! They say it’s all about the journey.. the Goldwing brings you peace of mind as soon as you kick back the kickstand. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Loved it . I own a 2018 dct and will not think about going back to a manual shift or any other bike . 11years ago rode on my Valkyrie in Montana and Canada and been wanting to do it on my goldwing asap
MHA! That’s Adventure bike territory and the Wing handled it like a champ. Absolutely beautiful footage as always. I know exactly where Mt Evans is. There’s a yearly bicycle race to the top. The fastest time wins. One rider at a time. Saw some cyclists on your way up. Altitude is thin air with less O2 for oxygenating working muscles. That’s a fact. The Wing sounds great. And that’s what I love about the Wing. You don’t hear it. Looks like the altitude had no affect on the engine. You’re right, bike geometry is great, not breaking traction with a steady throttle and brake application according road constitutions gets you safely through a ride. Nice job out there. Next up the Pike’s Peak trip. Ride safe and ride often. ATGATT.
Thanks Mr Glide! Glad you enjoyed the video.. I thought I was going to bounce Mrs High off and into Summit Lake.. That area was worse then usual in my opinion and the Wing handled it with no problems.. we had so much fun and it was surprisingly empty for 4th of July weekend.. Happy 4th to you and yours!
I've taken mid sized scooters, my CTX700 up there. I havent' taken the rebel 1100 up yet, but I can't wait. A goldwing is my fantasy bike, and I am determined to own one at some point. It's just so darn smooth (and should be for the same price as an Accord).
Great views..thanks! Really starting to wish my '21 Goldwing was also a DCT .. really missed it on yesterday's ride though a bunch of small towns (get tired of freeway riding) .. also needed the walking speed forward/reverse yesterday too when I parked uphill in a crowded lot at my favorite restaurant/bar. Base model manual does not have that feature.
@@MileHighAdventures YRW, I love seeing new places especially natural, and natural landscapes. I love environments like Alaska, Canada, Siberia Russia, and much more places on our planet. I'm an adventurer man.
Nice video, the views were like beautiful paintings, the mountains the clouds in the background. I myself own a Goldwing Wing manual transmission , it seems that the DCT also do is works aswell . I might also switch from manual versie to DCT someday. Thanks for this video, great job. ✌
Superbe vidéo, joli paysage 👍 J’adore cette moto 🏍️ J’ai possédé la 1000 GL de 76’ Et la 1500/6 de 83’ Mais actuellement à la retraite (en France) c’est devenu impossible (pays corrompu) ! Alors je continue à rêver ✌️ Merci !!!
Amazing video writing the very same bike here on the West Coast of Florida of course is a different experience though I have actually been on that road before on an older BMW going up that mountain is one thing but coming down is another anxious to hear how the DCT did on the way down because with the weight of that bike even though six piston calipers won't be able to save your life going down that mountain without the transmission two-up with luggage I'd love to hear about break feet on the way down because you and I know going down those mountains is infinitely more scary than going up I appreciate your channel very much the very best to you and your family, always
@@MileHighAdventures the last time I was riding and you were beautiful state I think I ate about 35 bugs because my mouth was open the entire time, in awe of the beautiful topography. I appreciate what you are sharing with us and you are certainly one of the reasons I have a 2022 tour DCT in my garage and I'm enjoying it every single chance I get to go out and ride. The very best to you, always. Greg. Thank you for taking the time to reply
Awesome Video!!! I greatly appreciate your effort in making this. As a flat land rider, those switchbacks give me that uneasy feeling. I know theres a nasty switchback between Alma and Breckenridge. Im curious how the DCT behaved on the descent? Did you manual mode it or let it do its thing?
Hey KBAC! I just coasted down like a big kid on a playground slide.. the DCT provided more than enough engine breaking to manage the decent.. I may put a short vid together to show that point.. it was a great ride! Thanks for the feedback and ride safe!
Thanks for the video - I am planning a motorcycle trip to Colorado for next summer. Looking to spend 5 days there riding and looking for advice on what routes and roads to ride.
Hey Peter! Here is what I would do with 5 days depending on weather.. Mount Evans (via Morrison and Squaw Pass).. Pikes Peak.. Peak to Peak Highway (Blackhawk to Estes Park)… Trail Ridge Road (Rocky MTN National Park) and Guanella Pass (Georgetown to Grant)
Curious, it appears you have the suspension setting set to just rider... With a passenger and luggage? Maybe I just cannot make out your screen correct in the video.
I thought I subscribed to you last year when I bought my bike but I guess not. I am now. How has your wife been on the back with wind buffeting? Mine was complaining about it last summer and that it was quite a bit worse than my Street Glide the way I had it set up. I just bought a new windshield 2" higher and about 5" wider to see if it helps her. I was fine on the bike the way it was stock, my helmet was rock solid with no bouncing around at all.
Hey Doug! I thought you subscribed before as well.. the wife is 5' and I am 6'2".. she says she does not notice the wind sitting behind my big butt.. lol
Amazing views, great information and I love hearing the DCT shift!! You’ve got a great channel and I’m definitely subscribing, but I agree with the comment about the music… It sounds like the stoned version of the Country Bear Jamboree… it doesn’t add anything. The bike and your commentary are all you need. You’re video more than any other so far may have sold me on the DCT. I currently ride a 2020 Roadglide Limited with a stage 2 and a 2010 Goldwing. Looks like it may be time for a DCT upgrade!! Thanks for your time and the great info!!
Terrific video and impressive riding and scenery. The GW DCT sure can get the job done.

Thanks AI! They say it’s all about the journey.. the Goldwing brings you peace of mind as soon as you kick back the kickstand. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I put thousands of miles at those altitudes, on my 1983 Yamaha Venture Royal, carbureted, with minimal issues back in the 80’s. I miss the Rockies.
I hear ya Don.. I don’t plan on leaving!
Loved it . I own a 2018 dct and will not think about going back to a manual shift or any other bike . 11years ago rode on my Valkyrie in Montana and Canada and been wanting to do it on my goldwing asap
Hey Bucket! That DCT spoils us fast.. thanks for the feedback!
Great video. I just watched it in HD. What a ride and view !!
Right on GWM! Thanks for the feedback.
Lovely video
Thanks J! Take care.

Nice and beautiful landscape, It looks like another planet, loves it!
Hey Samuro! yea.. its amazing.. that is probably the 16th time I have road up there and it never gets old.. thanks for the comment!

Absolutely amazing!
Thanks Franklin!
Great. That DCT was doing its work. You could hear the shifting. I wonder what it would be like with the old trans and hand clutch.
Good question Gary.. I’ll be comparing in my next video
Great Video
Hey RK. Glad you like it!

Hey Greg! I will release a video on the decent this weekend. Thanks so much for the positive feedback and comments. Ride safe in Florida!

Curious, it appears you have the suspension setting set to just rider... With a passenger and luggage? Maybe I just cannot make out your screen correct in the video.
Hey Chad! You are correct.. my wife likes that setting the best for long rides. The other preloads are a bit stiff for her liking.
I may have most it. I know you stated the DCT was doing it’s work I could hear. I was wondering if you manually shift at all during this ride?
Nope.. just let the DCT so it’s thing.. effortless decent. 👍
I enjoyed watching your video. Are you using 87 or 85 octane fuel on your ride to 14k?
Hey Howard! I was actually running 91 in this vid. Thanks for the comment!

How did the engine temperature hold up?
yeah great video would have liked to have heard the engine after you got quite but someone in their infinite wisdom started the saloon music
Sorry bout that Shoompa.. I'll be cutting back the music this season..
Dirt Bike Mode ?
That was a joke.. but I was standing on the pegs.. lol
Music Annoying ..... mute button .....
Your commentary sounds like your pinching you nose...lol...
Great Ride , been there done that... Thanks for sharing!
Sorry you didn’t like the music but glad you enjoyed the vid!
