The Honda gold wing is the highest quality motorcycle on planet earth, you could literally tour the entire globe with no issues. The best mathematics went into the engineering of the gold wing engine is incredible. I own a 1986 Honda gold wing interstate GL1200. Best motorcycle I ever bought. Best machine I ever owned period.
I agree! I traded my 2017 ultra limited in on the goldwing. I loved the ultra too, just wanted something different and really like the looks of the wing. This summer while riding I considered trading it for an Indian or a road glide, but for several reasons I couldn’t. First I hated the idea of being halfway through a 15000 mile ride. Only to have to stop after a day to have the first service done, and the expense of that along with the hassle of scheduling the service. Then the list went on from belt drive maintenance no xm radio on the Indian, no heated seat on the Harley etc etc the short list goes on. I would own all three and throw in a hayabusa while at it but alas my pockets are shallow and I can have one bike and as you mentioned do well it is the best bike in the universe!
I've got a 23 Goldwing. I am retired I wanna do this too. Only with me it would be north east where i live to south west. Bucket list stuff. I also use the same stuff to clean and polish my bike. Nothing quite like Hondas own polish.
I really want to make my way up the northeast coast, I've ridden to New York but want to go further up into Maine! Hope you get to ride your bucket list!
Your bike looks great and it seems like you are well prepared for your trip. The plastic tape is a cool idea. Let us know how it works out. Have a fun ride.
This is the bike to do it with. No other bike on the planet is for that. NONE!!!! Super trip, man. I wish one day to have time to do this too. Safe one!!!
I’m on the same page with the Honda cleaner & polish. Your bike looks great. You take great care of it and it shows. The protective tape is a great idea. The way a motorcycle should be card for and look like. The DCT is a ripper. Easy and quick off the line. I also like all the accessory choices and the Traxxion kickstand pad too. Is that the new Shoei Neotec 3?
You noticed the kickstand pad! The helmet is a neotec 2. My second season with it. I love the helmet the best modular helmet I’ve ever owned. Putting a new face shield on it in the morning. Thank you for the kind words!
Not really I haven’t heard a ticking sound. I do hear odd sounds occasionally. Now the sound is something like rubber squeaking from the top of the steering head when I turn the handlebars. Sometimes I can hear a hissing noise down in the engine when it’s running, sounds like air rushing through the air box of an old fzr1000 I once owned. Could be air being sucked through the filter.
If you have a a ticking noise is it a valve tick maybe? Does it go away when riding or more pronounced? I have heard of people having the tick but can’t remember the fix.
Thanks for the information. I followed the manufacturer’s instructions without paying attention as initially my goal was to fly two flags one on each side. If I can find a drill today I’ll move it over to the other side.
I’ve ridden it on an FZ700 back in the early 90’s, a hd ultra limited about 5 years ago, and I’ve even seen people riding scooters up the alcan, so whatever you ride will work.

I will upload more videos as they are made
@@SpedtravelsAk Patiently waiting!
Does your goldwing have a ticking sound on the right side?
Not really I haven’t heard a ticking sound. I do hear odd sounds occasionally. Now the sound is something like rubber squeaking from the top of the steering head when I turn the handlebars. Sometimes I can hear a hissing noise down in the engine when it’s running, sounds like air rushing through the air box of an old fzr1000 I once owned. Could be air being sucked through the filter.

United States Flag goes on the right, not the left. Check the flag code. Thank you
Thanks for the information. I followed the manufacturer’s instructions without paying attention as initially my goal was to fly two flags one on each side. If I can find a drill today I’ll move it over to the other side.
It's center to right.
I made the trip in the opposite direction. I left Florida and went to toke Alaska That is a great ride. Be safe.
@@TheDocBurns when you have two flags, one American, it goes to it’s own Right. So when you look at it, it’s to your left.
You can do it on any big bike.not just this.
I’ve ridden it on an FZ700 back in the early 90’s, a hd ultra limited about 5 years ago, and I’ve even seen people riding scooters up the alcan, so whatever you ride will work.
