What a beast. It’s disappointing when the garage do half a job taking into consideration that they knew what they had to do in advance.
100%!
Once again you have the ability to stay clam and positive when faced with disappointment, to be fair I would have only been slightly annoyed as I have low expectations for service so not to be disappointed. I think the real problem here is that a large manufacturer with a premium bike should be able to make the on board satnav work properly, it’s not as if they have just been invented, and you shouldn’t need to do a merry dance to get it paired up. I think for a winter tour you should head north not south 😉😉
Enjoyed watching that, your plans sound good too; a winter tour awesome. Safe riding, cheers Andy. 👍
I feel exactly the same way. No matter how creepy life gets, if I can get out on my GW for at least a short runabout, life looks better when I’m underway and after I get back to the house to confront what’s waiting for me.
Mine is my everyday bike too. Nothing it can’t do. I don’t have the Honda SatNav so I added a Zumo and it really helps since I moved again and finding everything is an adventure.
I hate that feeling too when you’ve waited so long to get it done and it falls short of expectations even after giving them the whole day to do it. I’d look elsewhere who may be more competent with installation.
Another great video, thank you! I had the opposite experience at the first service for my Multistrada a few weeks ago; work was completed ahead of schedule, accessories were fitted, I received a video made by the technician of the work she had done on the bike, and all the settings were still as I had got it set up to my liking. Great service, I thought, when I was a bit unsure of their reputation. I did have to pay for it, but even that was not as expensive as I feared it might be. And the sun was shining so I had a lovely ride home on my now derestricted beast 😀
That’s how it should be done!
Never really looked at a gold wing until watching you. Love the blue. It’s a nice one.
Hi, Mr Flyer! Sorry about the aggravation, dealing with incompetent dealers seems to be an integral part of any form of individual transport.
But experiencing your unabated joy of riding the Gold Wing allows me to participate in your happiness!
Thanks for the update TMF, and your right in the sense that your bike has to be looked after properly, they are quite a big investment after all. Such a shame to see, yet again poor work from a main dealership tho.
Nice little vid Andy bit poor service that they couldn’t finish your sat nav install !!! Look forward to your update on the install 👍
Beautiful review...
Thanks a lot have a safe trip
The DCT on my 22 GW was significantly smoother after the (running in) oil had been replaced by regular oil. Still in love with mine, fab bikes.
I like your videos and appreciate you posting them, thank you. I did manage to pause on your "declaration page' - Well said!
We’ll done on that!
I bought my first ever bike, a CB250N, from HGB in 1980. I was pretty unimpressed with their service then and never used them again. It appears that things haven’t changed!
I found them the same in 1990 when I took a VFR400 back wheel for a tyre change......never been back and never would!
I have TomTom. Brilliant, and as I’m sure you’ve found out once the ball is attached very easy to put on and remove.
Yep, i'm with you in the SAD gang, really gets me down the thought of October onwards.
Brilliant again thanks bike looks and sounds amazing 👍
Psycle therapy is always good. Good vid, that's a nice bike. Enjoy the winter tour.
Love the review,just come back from Austria trip and now after a few updates no issues with my 21RT navigation.
Love this video, great commentary as always. To be fair though how much of a hassle is it to screw on a ball mount fitting? Better for you to have the foot boards, which I guess you hadn’t pre booked, fitted and run out of time than the other way round. Speaking as a former garage owner who got this all the time.
Wish you a nice start to the day 🤗
Cracking Video as always, my first comment on your channel....the Goldwing is certainly a beast, can't wait to see the winter tour on it....
Shame about the rain at the end ....Good old British weather 👍
Thanks for stopping by Andy!
@@TheMissendenFlyer No problem at all....i watch all of your videos matey.....very good especially the 'biker Scran' ones 👍
Another fantastic vid, And 👍🏻👍🏻 always hanging’ out for the next one!
Definitely not unreasonable to expect the sat nav to be completed when you’ve booked weeks in advance AND they said it would be done. Poor service indeed 😤
Another fun video Andy, 👍. Did have to smile that you had a little moan on how the sat nav was in the wrong setting, yet you have installed a Tom Tom so you won’t be using it. 😂.
When you get back home I would be checking that they have wired it into an ignition feed and not just hot wired to the battery, just me being fussey. Great service from yourself with the videos.
you have got my sort of luck, just gone through a heat wave and the only day it hammers it down is the day I have to do a two hundred and ten mile round trip for my bikes first service.😊
Very nice video and I love England. My wife is from Foresthill. We live in the US. London and then Canterbury was so great to visit for first time, I can't wait to see other parts of England. Also, you need to order the HWY pegs from Goldstrike and backrest from Utopia, Its so worth it!!! I am 6'4" /205lbs and these kits makes my riding so sweet. You will thank me later. I am almost 3 years into my DCT Tour and I can't say enough about this superb machine. Enjoy and happy riding.....!!!!
Great video as always! Stop Start function: it can be started or stopped by pressing the start switch when the bike is already running.
You will see there is the start/stop symbol on the start switch, no need to go through the menu.
Thanks for that!
Ahh well you and me both. I washed and polished my Suzuki GSX-S1000F yesterday in prep for todays run and bugger if the creeks didn't come up after the storms we had Thursday night. It's flat plains round here so it doesn't take much for runoff to cause minor flooding and well it did so I had to ride through flood water this morning. Also got to pick up my 120th Triumph Anniversary tee shirts. So thanks Triumph.
Since purchasing my T7 I have been trying to do as much work on it myself as I can (I rather enjoy it too) - specifically for the the reason you encountered: every time I have taken my bike in to the dealership - even for minor service - they never seem to install things correctly (I look at what they did and find myself saying - "I could have done that better" - so now I just do. ;)
The new Wing is amazing.
Liked the outtake at the end 🤪
Funny seeing your own house on this video,looks a monster of a bike,and it does look nice.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, riding through Ruislip Manor to Ickenham etc. As I was a child at the time (early 1970 's) I would have been on a Raliegh Europa rather than a "wing", it does not look like it has changed much, just more traffic! great content as always!
Cheers Kevin!
Thanks for the update, was considering a bagger and after watching your video decided not to bother, currently have a 21 plate RT. Sat nav works great. plan a route off line and just works. Thought zhold Wing dealers were excellent for service but they can't even fit your pre booked navigation bracket. Maybe BMW service comes out better. Thanks for your valued report.
I’ve had poor service from BMW too - don’t think it’s anything to do with the make of the bike!
Yes I have looked at the Wings too, but decided to stay with my RT. A little lighter, a little ‘sportier’ (lol, yes I deem my RT sporty!), and a dream to work on myself. Cylinders accessible, tire changes a breeze, etc.
Love to idea of the wing, but I’ll stick with my trustworthy RT.
Thank you.
great video, super sound quality, with cars and bikes I always ring the garage before returning, seeing as you had their bike if you had rung you could have picked it up the next day after they finished the job maybe - or maybe you did ring and they told you it would be fine - you are *not* being unreasonable at all though, they should have rung you. But it's such a shame about the SATNav - I have my garmin zumo fitted in the middle of my bars but as I have a cb1100ex I have no fancy screen to cover up
Beautiful machine 😍 and I have a cb1000r black edition myself. Its a great bike.
"You're a very particular man, with a particular set of skills. Skills you have acquired over a great TH-cam career. Skills that make you a nightmare for people like HGB." 😉
Great video TMF. Most of us are very particular about our bikes, so fair play to you.
I just bought a GL1500 and love it (even though I only rode it home so far )
And right to be particular, nothing wrong with high personal standards.
You booked an appointment... agreed in advance the work required from dealer... and then dealer let you down on their promise to complete the work to the agreed timescale. You are quiet right to feel let down. You are not being particular at all as others mention here.. You simply expected to get an excellent service from the dealer... and they failed to meet their promise to you. I hate complaining but poor service should be called out for what it is.... or else the dealer will never know they need to take steps to ensure your experience on the day is not repeated with other customers.
Most dealerships and manufacturers will send you an after service survey. I would be brutally honest both with any criticism and positive comments as well.
You, Sir, put your finger right on it!! 7 minutes in and twice you've mentioned the Wing making you grin - "The Wing Grin". I have an old 1200 (a proper Goldwing 😉) and that's what I'm always telling folks who just don't get it: they just make you smile! Sense of occasion every ride.
Glad to hear they haven't lost that
Very much so….
Too funny….”boo-hoo bugger” as the rain descends upon The MissendenFlyer rolling home. Always a treat to see the bikes you actually spent money on. The GoldWing is my 2nd favorite bike in your collection. A strong stable indeed.
So what’s the first?
@@TheMissendenFlyer …..The Mighty GS
Great video tmf allways a pleasure to watch them. Topical honda dealer I had same at Canterbury honda I would complain to bond head office . I don't really think the big companies care much about customers just like your money . Thanks very much Danny
Have fun with it
Thanks for the reply Andy. Even the dealer couldn't pair their phone / headset to their test bike!! Will be checking with the Honda guys at the NEC to see what they have to say. Looking forward to your GW / Sat Nav installation video. Mike.
You’ll be waiting awhile Mike, I toured with the satnav in Wales over the weekend and I was unable to get that to pair with my phone and headset, I spoke to the supplier and they said the satnav would get an update in due course so it will work with new iPhones, I don’t buy that, so as there was no real advantage of having the new satnav, I’ve now deinstalled it! What a game technology?!
Good video as always, like others have said surely the dealer knows experience will shown on TH-cam. Perhaps they are not bothered.
Seems that way!
I don't use half the electronics on my '21 S1000R Sports and speaking of BMW, haven't seen you on the GS for a while. Aftermarket parts are fun. I just ordered black widow headers from the UK and am getting a proper ECU tune straight after. Look forward to seeing you and Mrs. Flyer ride to the south in the cool lol. This was another fine review of the Goldwing Andy.
You are completely reasonable and rightly so 👌🏼
Really enjoyed that. I'm glad you've bought up the sheer stupidity of the smartphone connectivity on these and the Africa Twin/ NT1100 - Honda's refusal to fix this is staggering, as it's probably just software changes needed!
Your experience with that dealer is not unique either, the sales experience I had there was so bad that I went to Dobles myself and spent £500 more.
Ducati has same issues with trying to implement completely new software sygic
Winter On The Wing!
Sounds like a plan...
Beautiful bike 👍😎
It's a shame the dealership let you down about the SATNAV mount. You should be upset about it.
I'm sure the battery being disconnected during service is the reason everything went back to original settings mode.
Safe Travels Brother ✌️
🪶🪶🪶👆
Blessings from Georgia, USA 🍑
Also love the small print, heheh
Took the 350 Forza for a service and also got a CB1000R as a courtesy bike, and it is a lovely bike….
As for the sat nav, that was rude, you take a job on… it gets done, no excuses.
Managed to pause and read the 10 points Andy..we’ll said..agree with them all…and much more polite than some might be! I’m visiting Matilda’s again soon..missing the staff 😉 will be a gift left for you/Mrs F as before..keep up the entertainment it’s always enjoyable..atb, Alan
That’s very kind of you Alan, not necessary but very much appreciated!!
Fair play to the dealership for doing the 'free' service as i've found if you didn't buy the bike from them they can be a tad reluctant(i know they get reimbursed) If you can do it yourself, do it we will always take more pride in the work we do on our machines, than somebody on the ' clock'.
True but I like to see a few Dealer
Service Stamps in the Book
If I am Buying a Used Motorcycle
More so around 16,000 -20,000 miles

@@jefflambert8603 With you 100 per cent on that one Jeff, i probably didn't make myself clear i was on about fitting auxillarys IE sat nav etc, sorrry for the confusion.
@@jefflambert8603 Any salesman can put a stamp in a book. Once bought a used Golf GTI from a VW dealer 'will be fully serviced Sir'. Stamp in book, dirty (old) NGK plugs fitted and filthy Unipart oil filter still in place. After a major row, got the service done, but how many would have trusted the dealer and run the car for another 12k miles in blissful ignorance?

@@jefflambert8603 I agree with you for the warranty. I wouldn't put much faith in stamps for buying S/H. I'd do at least oil & filter myself on purchase, or use a mechanic/dealer I trust.
I installed a TomTom Ryder GPS on my R1200GS and I am very happy with it. It works out fantastic routes for me and I am re-discovering Sweden with all the interesting and exciting routes it gives me.
Installation was easy as BMW has auxiliary Can-Bus plugs that you can use. All I had to do was buy a male plug and solder it on to the power cable that comes with the GPS, plug it in, route the wires, and mount the GPS bracket.
Now the GPS comes on with the ignition and switches off about a minute after the bike has been turned off.
The App works ok but not all the time. (Android)
So working out a route indoors on the phone and it sends it to the GPS as soon as you turn on the bike saves a lot of fiddling with the unit once on the bike.
Overall very happy with the Tom Tom and it's waterproof, I don't even take it off when I wash the bike with a high pressure cleaner!
riding a palace 😂 im sold!
I do like your terms and conditions. :-)
Ahoy.. I have the same footboards on my Wing, they come into their own on a tour.
Both the Stop/Start and the 2D/3D can be changed whilst riding.
FYI if you’re using Car Play and stopping for gas (short stop) turn the ignition knob once to the right and the engine stops but all the electronics stay powered up. When done one more twist to the right on the ignition knob and start the engine. I agree the sequence required to get car play working is cumbersome but it does work pretty well once you figure out all the quirks. I would not like my phone in the boot and I don’t desire an air bag but probably would be good in a front collision.
I would have tucked away a longer lead from the boot to the handlebars, set up a go-pro mount & used apple play. Really enjoyed this video & feel the exact same about the nights closing in!
The navigation difference between the Honda Goldwing and the Honda Pilot SUV is immense. Like you say, the Goldwing is crude by comparison although where I often ride navigational assistance is not critical. I did use the Goldwing navigation when I recently rode to Maine.
Same issue with the Triumph sat nav so ended getting a Garmin. I have to imagine the bike manufacturers will get it right at some point.
here in the US.... 4,000 miles for the first service
Honda US says DON'T touch ANY fluids until then
This isn't a BMW.... where they REMOVE $650.00 from your wallet after 600 miles of riding
i've had 9 BMWs... and paid that money every single time after so few miles of travel
this Gold Wing.... no service until 4,000 miles... at least in the US... right in the manual
hard for me to swallow but i did exactly that and put full synthetic in last week
love you and your channel... so happy you have the '22
the very best to you, always
Option 3 for the CarPlay situation:
I have a 21 Road Glide Limited and had a similar situation with where I wanted to mount my phone. I ended up routing a long iPhone cable from the plug, thru the fairing and up the handle bar to where I want my phone.
You can do something very similar; route a long cable from your top box, underneaths the seat, gas tank, fairing and up your handle bar to always have the cable there ready 👍
Yes it is worth considering for sure....just the vibration issue, I already trashed one expensive iPhone camera thanks to a quadlock....I'm loathe to trust their "anti vibration" mount and risk it again...
Hope you like your TomTom as much as we do! They always seem accurate and we get the same route when riding with others. Can’t stand it when you don’t get the right service. There really isn’t any excuse.
I’ll let you know once I’ve used it!
Hi Sir, sorry to hear about the teeth, I can imagine your pain, as I have very sensitive teeth, so I know the agony people suffer, moan over, I absolutely Love 😘 your blue Honda Gold wing, she's gorgeous, good look with the service, am sure you will notice a difference when you get her back from the service dealer my friend, take care, have Fun!🏍️
Recently acquired a Tom Tom, which I hard wired into the Ducati, and with a second Ram mount and a small battery pack run on the MT10, there was a thought to using apps on the phone but can't beat the real deal and with being transferable a great buy. Imagine that CB1000 nice. Cheers Andy
Great content 👌 Andy I have to say I deal with customers in my Job if we can’t complete a Job or have a problem I give the Customer a courtesy call to offer my apologies not very good customer service at all, but your very polite and give them a chance top guy 😃
I think the word “service “ is actually an oxymoron today! Love the upgrades you’ve made so far, stunning motorcycle!
Cheers!
That is such a beautiful bike. Now to the “running out of time and an incomplete service ticket”. Absolutely not unreasonable to be hankered. It’s unacceptable. Is there any person to speak with up the food chain that could you can speak that would amount to a hill of beans? Or write a shop review. In any event, I have this same bike, a 22 Ultra Blue DCT Tour Airbag. Absolutely smitten! The DCT is a game changer. Brilliant. The bike is very commutable within town for me. People are always looking at this beauty. Color-way is unique too. Only produced in 2022. Good stuff Missenden.
Yes great bikes aren’t they - and I agree that colour is gorgeous….
Great video as always, sir. There are the Goldwing Tour versions without the airbag, leaving you with a bit of a glove box. I too had some mild difficulties hooking up the Apple Car Play each time. Oddly enough, as soon as I purchased my new iPhone 15, along s with a new charging cable, it works completely seamlessly.
Maybe it’s time I bought a new iPhone! …and you can only get the tour with airbag option in the uk, so no cubby for us in Blighty!
Beautiful and purposeful bike! Can understand your disappointment as a decent garage would have informed their customer whether or not there was time for the non scheduled work and would have found a solution to avoid the disappointment faced at collection. At least it is a simple job to complete at home in half an hour and I hope there was a reduction in labour as garages have a book time that dictates the cost for full job regardless as to how long it takes.
That is not unreasonable since that was something you wanted done first basically. Great video
Good chat, as ever. Whether it is just HSB, or universal approach by workshops, I used them twice and then went elsewhere. Customer satisfaction didn’t ever seem a high priority. Perhaps a captive audience. Fair to say, in most of our working lives, ‘running out of time’ wouldn’t swing it if you want to be paid or have repeat business!
Yes agreed - I won’t be taking my bike there again for service!
I have found that no built- in satellite navigation systems work well, even on very modern vehicles. I go for a separate system every time, although I think, having tried both, that neither TomTom nor Garmin can compete with a good satellite navigation system on an old phone mounted as high as possible into the normal vision area (usually well above the handlebars).
Great video as usual. Happy to give you the name of a good Endodontist if you need one!
,
Cheers Stephen! All sorted now…
Lovely bikes the 'Wings, came very very close to purchasing a new one this summer but like you Mr Flyer, I too have a GS and its absolutely all the bike I really need (apart from the several others I still own 🙂). I am still not totally sold that the biggest Honda is actually "convincingly" worth the price if I am totally honest... it should be absolutely spot on with after sales service to match and I don't believe it is. Still a mighty impressive machine though 👍
Agreed all round!
I have owned 2 GW's, and what machines they are. However, for me they are not the type of bike I could live with as an 'only bike'.
Rather disappointed at your dealer experience, especially as they must surely be aware of your huge following on YT.
Can highly recommend a winter tour. I have been to the north of Scotland in mid-winter and it was hugely enjoyable.
Pt.9 of your fine print! 😄
You may want to consider touring down through the New Forest to the Isle of Wight for a few days later on Andy. It is very beautiful. You may want to do more miles though (or not). 👍
Morning indeed.
You should definitely expect better from the main stealers, especially a man of your power and Influence. If I spunked 30k on a bike I'd want the sat nav the bike shouldn't need for free. I'm in the market for a sat nav. I'm leaning towards the Garmin zumo. Apparently it tells you the sharpness of the bends coming up and has Calimoto type features on it.
Nice bike....
Regarding shutting down for gas stops -- After turning the engine off, put the bike into "accessory mode". This will enable you to keep all of your connections live, including Android Auto, or Apple Car Play. If you need to go inside the convenience store, I am not sure if someone could steal the bike while in accessory mode without the key fob. I usually turn mine completely off if I have to leave the bike.
Regarding air bag models - This was always an option in the US prior to 2022. You can still get the front compartment with the USB connection if you don't order the air bag model.
I have about 18,000 miles on my 2021 standard Gold Wing. It's been a great bike so far - handles great on twisty's due to the low center of gravity, and is very comfortable for long haul trips.
Great vid as always…
I always seem to have this problem with service providers and them getting a bad review when they don’t do what they say they would do. For me a 5 star system works as follows:
1 star: piss poor complete disaster
2 star: you didn’t do what you said you would do, but what you did was ok.
3 star: you did everything you said you would do, at a reasonable standard.
4 star: you did all that you said you would do very well.
5 star: you did all you said you would do well, and something above and beyond.
So no I don’t think you are being unreasonable at all. Service providers seem to thing it’s ok to be mediocre and claim they are amazing…
Nice video, as always
Thanks Tom!
Love this! I use to live in West Ruislip!
Cool - where are you now?
@@TheMissendenFlyer Ohio.... not as great as London!
Another great video - I would just say that they probably would have completed the sat nav fitting if you hadn't asked them to fit the floorboards (probably 30 mins)
Yes maybe - I’m happy to give them the benefit of the doubt…
I understand your frustration but to be fair you added the floorboards on to the appointment. I have not seen any bike with a great built in Sat Nav or turn by turn apps. Stand alone GPS still is the best to me.
On my Goldwing 2021 Tour DCT bike you can quickly turn the start/stop off and on by repressing the big red start button whilst the bike is running - treating it as a toggle switch for the start/stop function.
I’ve bought one over here in New Zealand I haven’t picked it up yet I’ve never even sat on one, I’m hoping it’s as good as the reviews
I am guessing, that if you moved the floorboards back any further they might get in the way when you put your legs down at a stop. I really enjoy your videos!
I agree it can be annoying when expectations aren't met. The Honda shop could have called you before you came back with a reasonable explanation of why they couldn't complete the floor boards, oil change, etc.
Hey mate thanks for this , wont go to this dealer , Thanks for heads up ,
I've been riding since 1969 and had quite a few new bikes, mostly hondas, and they were all given a free service at 600 miles, I bought my current honda new in 1995 a cb1000 big one, I also own a 1980 suzuki gsx1000et that I've had since 1986 and a 1968 Cb250K0 which I bought in 1973, not a great fan of the current crop of motorcycle offerings other than a bonneville or interceptor but at 70 I doubt I'll ever get one
The gold wing looks great would love to have a go of one or at least do a summer tour on 1 might look into if anyone hires them out
Mine shifts better after an oil change as well. The 6th Gen Goldwings are fantastic. I have 4 motorcycles & somehow still put over 37,000 miles on my 6th Gen Goldwing tour in the first 18 months.
Cool!
I know what you mean regarding the weather, when I picked my streetfighter up it was pissing down in December 🙄, wrong time to buy a bike I know but it was in the middle of lockdown and I wasn’t sure if my trade in and cash would still be there in the new year.
Good review. Nice bike. On my Rt 2022 model have fitted Nav 6 as I found abroad connectivity was not that good especially whin you need it..
There should of been plenty of time to complete the work however they took on the additional job of installing the footboards, how many other adhoc jobs do they take on to keep customers happy. In all fairness the work has been done with the satnav mount, the remainder of it is just to mount it which the majority of people would do when they go out depending on whether they need it or not. Probably a bit too critical as felling a bit off on this day.
Great Video…
Thank you very much!
@@TheMissendenFlyer u welcome…
Good to see it’s not just me that has the odd issue when my bike goes in the dealer. I’d be disappointed and probably not of paid for the sat nav fitting if they hadn’t finished it like yours. Would of annoyed me that they didn’t have time after taking it as a booking not a walk in. But in a positive note the wing does look a nice machine! 👍
It sure is - incredible bike…
Andy, if your wing was with them 7 hours, how long does a 1st service take? 2 hours? Sounds a bit shoddy they ran out of time for your sat navigation installation???
