A good honest Mechanic is worth supporting .... Glad you got it repaired.
Indeed…
I knew there was a Goldwing only shop down there somewhere just didnt know it was available short notice. thats great they got it fixed for you and you won't have to worry about the quality of the repair. Nice to have people wherever you go ready and wanting to help, just remember good people attract good people..........................................JB..
Thankfully they are specialists. We knew them when they were in California. A friend reminded us that they moved to GA. They had several bikes ahead of us but they took us in because we were traveling. And yes…no worries about the quality of their work.
Glad you got the help you needed. Bikers are the best when it comes to helping other bikers.
Yeah, the biker community is the best.
So fantastic to see so many folks willing to help out!! So glad you got JetBlue fixed up and rolling again!!!
The biker community is amazing. Yup, Kake is a happy rider again.
I am so glad you FINALLY got some satisfaction at Wing Nut! I was so happy to see you spending time with Rich and Chris, too. I've been a follower of them for a while as well. With a new clutch in Jet Blue, she'll be good to go for another 150,000 miles. Ride safe. Ride well. Ride often!
Yeah they are great, took us in immediately. Rich and Chris are an awesome couple. We had a wonderful time.
Happy to see she’s back on the road… ride safe! Hoosier Wing here.🇺🇸🎄
Thanks…Kake is trilled that she no longer has to ride on the back of my bike. Lol
So happy everything worked out for you guys. Mechanical breakdowns can really throw a wrench in things on a road trip. I hold you guys up in prayer daily and wish you many many more beautiful miles on those Goldwings. Take care guys!
Yeah ElvisBoy, it could have halted the whole trip. Thanks for chiming in with us.
I'm glad y'all got the bike fixed in a fairly reasonable time, it could have been a LOT longer. I'm always amazed at some of the folks I meet on two wheels when so far from home. I agree, the biker community is second to none, and fine folks like you two, are part of that community. I loved Cake's, "Who Dat?!" Uh huh y'all from Loo Z Anna alright. Hahaha. I pray that y'all have a safe, blessed, prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year.
Yeah, one dealer said it would take approx 30 days. Yeah we (bikers) have the best community of all. WHO DAT! yup we are from Loo Z Anna lol. Have a wonderful and Happy New Year as well.
Sorry about the $$$ but happy you got Jet Blue going again. Good to see Kake doing the happy dance again!!!! And yes, the biker community is not understood by most non-bikers. We harass each other for riding something different but there when you need a hand. Kinda like brothers from the same mother do. Cruising, on a Sunday afternoon.....🎼🎵🎶
Hey her happy dance for sure. Yeah it doesn’t matter what you ride we all in this together. What a wonderful community we have.
I love this motorcycle community. I’m glad that she got her bike back
Yeah Kelly B...Awesome biker community for sure.
Even dealers couldn't fix that issue.. thats really weird. Glad you found a shop that could fix it though.
One dealer had never worked on a clutch before, so we didn't trust them. Another wanted $2600, before even looking into the bike. So we went to a specialist that only works on wings.
THE CLUTCH WENT OUT ON MY ROADSMITH WING TRIKE , HONDA DEALERSHIPS DIDN'T WANT THE JOB , ENDED UP FINDING A MOTORCYCLE INDEPENDENT SHOP WILLING TO TACKLE THE CLUTCH REBUILD .
*** IN THE FUTURE , NO TO HONDA CYCLE MECHANICS IF THEY CAN BE AVOIDED .
*** RIDE ON , BE SAFE & A
WING IS THE THING !!!!!!
Great news on jet blue. Ride safe
Yes! Great news for sure. Back running like a champ.
You guys are an amazing couple. I tend to go to the dark side when things go south. You make me find the bright side.
Thank you Pete. We go there too, this just happens to be one of the good/bad times lol
Glad to see Kake got her bike fixed. I felt that dance in my soul 😂 It's the worst when you can't ride your bike!
Yeah Joe, She is a happy rider again. Hate being on the back of my bike lol.
Oh no Rick/Kake first Merry Christmas happy new year! I normally share and talk up your channel. These two videos I’m going to have to share with Honda friends only!!😂😂😂 my Harley brother and sisters will give me a hard time 😮😂😂😂 just kidding of coarse. May the good lord keep you both nothing but goodness for the New Year. Safe travels!!
Hey Joe, it’s all good lol. Everyone knows that the wings still sits on the throne. Be blessed and have a happy and safe New Year.
So glad to see that you guys got rescued- and that you hadda great time, no matter what
Yeah, we were fortunate that they were very close. Then we made the best of the situation lol.
Great that you found the right dealer… $$$ but you still created a happy video with smiles. Take care and stay safe 😊
Thanks we appreciate that
WOW just the clutch the other shops could not figure out??? Good luck riding..... ;-D
the problem with the goldwing clutch is that it is right down in the middle between the trans and the engine, major teardown and nobody want to do it cuz it would cripple their shop until they got it done.........good thing is they don't fail that often..
One dealer wanted $2600 before looking into the bike. So we found a specialist who took it in immediately.
Yeah Wayne, it's up there with the air filter...a nightmare. Fortunately, Wing Nut took us in.
Just to look at it???
From watching your video looks like Honda dealers are a lot like Harley dealers when it comes to service departments. Glad ya'll back on the road. Stay safe.
Yeah they all are full of sh.. One dealer wanted $2600 before looking into the bike.
Glad to see that the bike got fixed and you got to see and do lots of things while the bike was down.
Thanks Viper...Had a great time while it was down for sure.
Man look like yall eat good . Motorcycle and you tube Community is awesome
Man I couldn’t have said it any better. What a wonderful biker community we have.
So sorry. I responded to your first video and I thought your problem was it wasn't running right and would not go. I wrote it might be your fuel filter because that is how my Wing acted. Glad you got the clutch fixed. I ride with a man who has a 93 Wing and this year it has 290,000 miles on it. Good luck in the future and ride safe my friend.
All good now and running like a charm. Yeah, I (Rich) had a 1992 1500 Aspencade and put 160k on it. I Loved it...
Glad this had a happy ending
Thanks...So are we.
That’s crazy that you had to go all that way just to get a bike repair. Glad everything worked out in the end for you!!! I have never tied down a bike before either.
Yup 500+ miles. One dealer wanted $2600 before looking into the bike. They were trying to rip us off. I had no clue how to tie it down LOL.
Glad you got it worked out. Continued safe travels. Looking great.
Thanks, you so much. We appreciate it.
Glad everything is back together.
Thank Bob...She is a happy rider now.
The biking world is ausom I have enjoyed the people in the motorcycle world for 58 years and they will go out of there way to be kind
Yes Ken...We agree the biker community is indeed among the very best.
Man, oh, man, quite an adventure with the breakdown. Really cool you were able to get it fixed, and meet all kinds of cool, biker, loving people…. I myself Ride Harley Davidson ultra classic. Have been pretty lucky so with maga miles…. The reason I stick with the brand, should I have a breakdown there’s a Harley Davidson dealer on every corner, and I can guarantee the bike will usually be fixed that day, and if not within a day or two regardless of the breakdown.
Yeah, we had a bad /great week lol. Unfortunately, this was Thanksgiving week, and all the dealers that could fix it were talking about at least a week. One even said a month. There are plenty of power sports in the US and we never had a problem finding one. But Gold Wings rarely break down.
Breaking down on any holiday while road tripping is always a bad scene. Regardless of you bike ride it’s the people out there that you meet that are doing the same thing. I have met so many cool people out there on the road, it’s the memories you make along the way. Anyways, keep those Gold Wings on the road, soak up as many miles as you can, and enjoy life to the fullest. PS I really enjoy your channel. If you ever make it to Southern California, give me a shout out we can all hook up and ride 😎😎 Peace out👍
We are planning on returning home via SoCal. Probably stop in San Diego then ride up to NorCal. What area do you live? @@jameslee5428
Wow what an adventure. Did the wing nut specialists ever tell you what went wrong with the blue?
Yeah we made the best of a bad situation. Good biker community. It was the clutch, but they didn't know why it went bad.
Can’t believe you all were in my City of Jacksonville, AR (the Hook)! And in the LR Area! This is 2yrs in a row I have missed meeting you two! Last year you were in Hot Springs! Next time dinner is on me when you come through…. IJS 😊
Dinner? Hey Rick/Kake, time to do a U-turn!!!!🍲🥫🥘
lol. C’mon. U-turn
Awe man! we need to do more up-to-date info in IG. Sometimes we forget, and these YT videos are late, by the time they come out we are usually out of the area.
Would love to meet up and have dinner.
We wish!!!
Next time for sure.
Good to see blue back on the road again did they have to change out the clutch
Thanks Derrick...Yes, they changed the clutch. Back rolling and happy.
@@BootsandJeansRiders that was fast good to see you back on r o a D
What was the repair cost ??
One dealer wanted $2600 before looking into the bike. Wing Nut was $700 for parts and labor. Jet Blue is back running like a charm.
@BootsandJeansRiders
That's awesome.
I love your videos. I wish my wife loved to ride like yours does. I can only get her to take short rides around the neighborhood .
How much?? Got me a little nervous.
One dealer wanted $2600 before looking into the bike. Wing Nut was $700 for parts and labor. Jet Blue is back up and running like a charm.
Rich a buddy an i were on road trip back during summer when clutch on his 02 Wing with 320,000 miles started acting up we replace the clutch in the hotel parking lot. Even a Wing has trouble every once an a while 🦾💯
WOW 320k miles before the clutch started acting up. That says a lot about the reliability of the Wing. The greatest thing is that you were able to fix it.
