@@michaellarcher7868 Well, thank you very much, Michael. Very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching and responding.

@@kidi8124lunch it is the top of the line when it comes to protecting the Goldwing. Thank you. No damage is a great thing.

@@wingingit9493 Yes, the newer engine guards have the oval holes at the rear. Thanks for watching and responding.

@@SandraJones-i9o No clue what you are talking about. Sorry, I can't help.

@@TwoupwiththeTueys Thank you very much. Thanks for watching and responding. Didn't know you guys watched my channel. Thank you for that as well.

@GoldRyderOne i watch it all the time

@TwoupwiththeTueys Thank you very much.

@MarksGarage17 Thank you, Mark. Yes, it is one hell of a product. I hit that debris so hard, I just knew there would be more damage. I got lucky with a little help from Traxxion Dynamics. One thousand subscribers will be cool after only 11 months. It's not a goal of mine, but still cool.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Mark.

@F6B_ADVENTURES Well, her name was going to have Snow in it from the start. Then my 4 year old grandson said, "Pappy, when you go down the hill, do you say "Wee"? That was it... Snow-wee! Aka: Snowee.

@@cruisemansgarage I am so thankful. Snowee would have been devastated if she got a blemish on her.🤣

@Traxxion Me too. Traxxon Dynamics' Engine Case Guard saved the day. Feel free to use the video however you want, Max.

@roadglide Thank you , Road Glide. The office/studio is almost complete. I'm still waiting on posters I had made from Robert's pictures. I'm also looking for a professional tribute to Cruiseman.

@Traxxion Thanks, Max. I just released another video addressing the rear screw holes on your engine guard. Hell of a product, Max. Please review the second video I just released 30 minutes ago. Thanks for watching and responding.

@@GoldRyderOne Will do.

@@GoldRyderOne PS, once in a while some bikes will have a screw vibrate out. We provide extras, which I hope you have. If not, let me know. I don't recommend any thread locker. If you ride in all weather, like you do, I would even use anti seize.

@@Traxxion I have extra screws you provided with the kit. Thanks again, Max.

@@BobPayne-r8w it sure was a close call. We can make that happen. I could introduce you to Snowee.

@@MeanderingMotoMonk I fully agree with you, David. That impact against the engine alone would have been a major problem.

@goldwingmoments Yes, sir, Larry. I was riding with Lady Luck and her entire family that morning.

@cruisemansgarage Me too, CM. Now, I am moving to the the big leagues with my TH-cam poster. I still have to put up Robert's pictures that I converted to posters. My studio is 98% complete.

@kidi8124lunch Thank you. Once I remove the guard, I will be able to determine the amount of damage to the brackets. I never thought of something hitting the very front tip of the guard. I guess we all assume that a glancing blow would be the likely outcome.

@@GoldRyderOne From the looks of how large that was I could see it wrapping around the tire, and going up into that plastic in front of the guard, and well you see what happened, thank God you were safe, and the bike didn't get much, if any, damage. I am sure you were doing the speed limit at the time LOL. Be safe.

@@kidi8124lunch Well, I was doing 65 mph upon impact. Can't say what the speed was before the truck hit the guardrail...lol

@MarksGarage17 Thanks, Mark. You picked up on the new and improved background. I'm not done yet, but I'm getting there.

@roadglide Thanks, Road Glide. I definitely need to look into a brighter headlight solution for night travels. Although that was snowy's first nighttime trip, I personally love traveling at night to avoid traffic. I have no doubt that Traxxon Dynamics engine case guard save the day. I will have to look into those lights that you speak of.

@@GoldRyderOne I know I’m beating a dead horse. Don’t mean to. But every motorcycle would benefit with auxiliary lighting. The BMW owners clubs, some serious tarmac slayers, swear by Clearwater. Check out Max’s (Traxxion Dynamics) Warhorse build, where the installed the Clearwater Super Sevina’s. It’s this project that sold me on this particular model. I already knew of the brand’s reputation long ago. But they are rich. ($) To me worth it. In order to “just live my life”. I have to be living. Staying alive and enjoying the ride whether early mornings or evenings is mitigating dangers by increasing safety. Auxiliary Illumination does just that. Our bikes are merely DOT required lighting which is minimal. Now. Just live your life brother.

@@roadglide If anyone knows about lights, it's you. I will look into those lights for sure. You are correct. For me to just live my life, I must stay alive out there.

@@GoldRyderOne 100% Mac!!

@robertwhitemoto Ues it does. Snowee was my main focus, after all. She's new and can't afford to be damaged in any way. I'm not a big fan of road rash, but a $30,000 motorcycle that is only 6 months old would be too much!!

@davidedwards5773 Max is always welcome to use my videos for whatever purpose he wants. You are absolutely correct, his engine guard save the day. I will still have to pull the guard off to assess the damage to the brackets, if any. I could not imagine snowee sliding across the asphalt or tumbling down the interstate. Thanks for watching and responding, David.

@tom81773 Thanks, Tom. The engine guard absolutely saved the day. I enjoyed our visit and the time we spent together. Thank you for that.

@jesusmelendez9563 You are so right, Jesus. Any sudden shifting of the center of gravity could have produced an entirely different outcome. I learned as a young man to never overreact or over adjust on a motorcycle. Sometimes, you have to just brace for the hit and hope you survive. A straight line is your best chance of riding out the incident. Thanks for watching and responding.

@F6B_ADVENTURES Yes, that's the bad part of riding in the dark. We do not get the visual distance with our current lights. No one has more experience on those long trips like you. I had all the lights on, including the fog lights. They are just not popping as much as we would like.

@ there are people with further rides than me but yea. The lighting is really important shoutout to @roadglide for having the best lighting

@F6B_ADVENTURES Yes, Road Glide is lit up like a Christmas tree, but safety is the key. I like riding at night, so I may have to evaluate my lighting.

@@F6B_ADVENTURES Thank you for the compliment Adan. You are absolutely right. In the case of the company Clearwater. “The story of Clearwater lights” is an interesting one and can be viewed on TH-cam. Please check that out. The owner had hit a deer at about 80 mph on a Yamaha FJR. The rest is history. Max at Traxxion has installed Clearwater’s for the War Horse. Check that video out too. I chose Clearwater because they are made in the USA, renowned for their quality & customer. They are nit cheap. I have no complaints. You should pay for quality. Call or email this company snd someone with knowledge will answer quickly. They offer as an option an interchangeable lens kit that fits snug over the lights. One pair is clear & the other is amber. They both provide an added level of protection while offering lighting & weather condition benefits. This option may have since changed. This kit might be included. So check that out too.

@@GoldRyderOne Safety is every reason I have auxiliary lighting. First & foremost. Secondary is aesthetics. It does help that they look good too. IMHO.

@GaryAugustine-z3w Thanks, Gary. Get that guard on right away. Never know when it will happen. Those upper and lower air deflectors are great!!! Riding in the low 50s is not a problem now. You can turn the leg deflectors up and pull in the engine heat. Great, great, great. Next to the engine guard, they are the best add-ons so far. Thanks for watching and responding.

@jimcfds Thanks, James. Once I remove the guard, I will have a better assessment of the damage to the screws and brackets. I hope they are not bent. It's too cold today to do much underneath the bike. I am very curious about the overall engine guard damage. Thanks for watching and responding, James.

@@jimcfds I'm not seeing any wires at that point of the video.

@@GoldRyderOne I guess my eyes are playing tricks on me.

@@jameshales6958 It could be my eyes.

@@GoldRyderOne Hello Mac, I originally watched your video on my iPhone. I just watched it on my MacBook and may be I'm seeing engine casing casting ridges. I need to look under my bike.

@selenamcallister6662 I hate traveling in the rain, most because of the amount of cleaning involved. Snowee has a built-in alarm system for quick stops and a disc lock alarm system for overnight stays. Snowee is better protected than I am, well, publicly speaking. Thanks for watching and responding.

@MichaelandDeborahMoll to the left of the console underneath. You would have to be standing on the left side of the bike to even see the lights. Since most of us do not actually use it, we try not to make it so visible. There is a gooseneck under the console. I zip-tied it there. Send me an email to goldryderone@gmail.com, and I will send you some pictures.

@@SlappyAdventures Thank you, Slappy.

@@timothykees6187 Thank you very much.

@johnsalvi9073 is just too early for me, John. I enjoy my late hours too much to sacrifice them for the early morning thing. Thanks for watching.

@goldwingmoments Thank you very much, Larry. Snowee gets too tired to go 15 hours. I'm good to go, but not Snowee. She's not a fan of anything over 350 miles in a day. LOL

Thank you. Here is the link to the video on the bag. th-cam.com/video/vEMnUOHhZwE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gRN1OjRuIwXCPz61

I have the same bag for my 2019 Goldwing tour, very versatile bag, I bolted a piece of 1/8 plywood to the inside bottom of the bag. It really helped the bag maintain the shape after I strap it down.

@markkuczajda3012 I use a hard top laptop case. Which basically does the same. Outstanding, idea though. I'm able to pack almost everything in the house in that one bag.

I do a lot of fishing hear in Michigan, I can get a pair of breathable waders, wading boots and soft side cooler with a weeks worth of food in it plus all my tackle and still have room left over. Really good piece of luggage

@markkuczajda3012 Well, Mark, it looks like I'm going to have to learn how to fish before I travel up that way. Yes, I know, I live in the south and don't fish. Crazy, to say the least.

@timothykees6187 You are definitely being too kind. Thank you very much for watching the video. I would be honored if you followed the channel.

@GarryLippold Absolutely no need to follow me, Garry. As you can tell, I get lost even with a GPS. No, I don't mess with the trip odometer. I always video record snowee's miles on every trip and every ride. On this trip, she got an average of 30 to 31 miles per gallon. She gets about 40 miles per gallon on local rides. I'm not sure I'll ever travel as far as you have across this great country of ours. I thank you very much for watching my videos. I hope you follow this channel.

@tom81773 Thanks, Tom. Yes, it appears that I will be a trendsetter. Trust me, Tom, the pleasure was all mine.

@@MeanderingMotoMonk I'm glad you came along for the ride, David. I hope you felt every mile as I did. LOL. Thank you very much for watching and following.

@jamesduckworth3736 Thanks for riding along with me, James. I do appreciate you following the channel and watching my gas fillup videos. LOL. Sometimes, my video content is just content. But I enjoy sharing my thoughts, and I enjoy you listening to them. Thank you very much.

@roadglide Thank you very much, Road Glide. I am very big on real brotherhoods, and I believe you and cruiseman can put something together that would put Wing Ding to shame. As you said, it all starts with an idea. I still think the "Road Glide and Cruiseman Annual Extravaganza Emporium" would be a good name. LOL

Totally agree RG!

Glad you made it home safe. It was great seeing everyone Saturday morning. I'm in if you come up with some kind of annual ride.

@kro650 Thank you very much, Ken. I think we could get a lot of people to sign up for such a ride. But I don't have the juice to pull it off. I am so new to the TH-cam channel stuff that I am only popular in China. LOL

@@GoldRyderOne I know. I remember that you are a big deal in China.

@MarksGarage17 Thanks for watching my fuel up video, Mark. There wasn't much to cover on the way back. I turn into an entirely different rider once I enter into big cities. I will not be bullied around or boxed in. Of course, I couldn't show all that, or I would be critiqued about my riding safety by people who do not ride at all... LOL. I got the worst gas mileage of any vehicle ever ridden. The Gold Wing remains a smooth ride above 80, but it drinks fuel. Unfortunately, there is little to no power left above 100. Not that I need that anymore, but it would be nice for an 1800cc to have a little more bite, if needed. I'm just saying...

@F6B_ADVENTURES That is true. I listened to news channels most of the time, well, basically the entire time.

@@JohnSheehan-m6n I really did have a good time, John.. Those guys are truly exceptional people and entertaining.

@ Absolutely great when one meets like minded people. Keep up the good work Mac 👌

@JohnSheehan-m6n Thank you, John. They are definitely a great group of people.

@patgodfrey8451 You can do it, Pat. It will involve some creative thinking and a boat. Those will be some serious miles, and you'll have to take plenty of rest breaks... LOL.

@unicornhairhead That's not bragging. That's stating an impressive fact. That is definitely a long haul. I'm not sure how far I'll eventually do some long haul traveling, but I do know it'll be 300 miles at a time or per day.

@SecurityBob That is actually an outstanding idea, Bob. Audio books would keep my mind occupied and give me the ability to learn something new. Unfortunately, I would be unable to see the pictures in the book....lol. I also plan to do some traveling, which involves a little bit of camping. Nothing like F6B_adventures.

@DonKruse.Wing-Rider Thank you. I'm never running that long in a day ever again. However, I can say I did it twice.

@@GoldRyderOne I have done the long day rides in the past... Not anymore long days on a bike... Now will still do it in a car. Made the trip from Oshkosh wis to Fort Worth in one day. this past year

@@robertwhitemoto Yes, it is hard to get the Busa out of me.

Sure thing, the next time I am in that area, you are more than welcome to ride with me.

@@GoldRyderOne 2024

fastest bike i have ever owned,, love it
