I'm more into sport bikes 🏍 I've had a few BUELL's which is Harleys attempt at a crossover sport bike as u probably already knew that Sose,but I'm not picky I love all bikes and working on em!!!💯be safe Sose I'm out
I'm laughing right now, I probably spent one tenth of Harley riders spend over 100,000 miles if Harleys can even make it to 100,000 miles. Facts over feelings say goldwings are better built than harleys
Yeah…it literally doesn’t. Nobody can say the gold wing is trash, because it’s not, but it’s basically just a car on two wheels. Not really a bike lol. It’s like, tell me you don’t really want to ride a bike without telling me you don’t really want to ride a bike.
The Harley boy club just mad because they're not the original gangster. It was Indian and Indian supported America through the wars Indian Motorcycle Indian Motorcycle - America's First Motorcycle Company. www.indianmotorcycle.com › ... Indian Motorcycle - America's First Motorcycle Company
Harley are trash now! 60% of they parts are Chinese parts the other 10% are from mexico 😂😂😂😂 soo sad!! Want to talk about real AMERICAN BIKE Victoria or indian
I stopped letting people tell me what's cool or not when I got out of highschool, I ride what I want, dress the way I want. Don't like it stay away from me.that Simple
When you look at the amount of miles a goldwing can take it's ignorant to think less of it, I personally really like Indian motorcycles and am saving to upgrade from a Honda shadow to a Indian. Ride what you love still beats walking
@nicholasmaxomus I ride a gl1800, luv it, dress it, and like you my next bike will be an Indian Chieftain Dark Horse. I'll travel on either one. Gl1800 on long state to state tours and the Dark Horse on short county and mid excursions 🎉😊
Honestly, I have never seen a trash bike. I don't call anyone else's bike trash. It's theirs. If it's from their heart, it's beautiful, from clapped out Gold Wings and Road Glides to hand-built rat bikes. It's your expression and it's beautiful!
Hey hey.. I’ve used an old Honda as parts bike, and literally stripped it down and cut pieces out of the frame to fully extensively modify my other project.. at the end of that project, what I hadn’t picked off the bones of the parts bike, was all literally trash.. Cut and twisted beyond recognition, before the scrap yard.. 100 percent bonafide trash.. But your right because at that point it was definitely no longer a bike or even pieces.. just pieces of pieces of what was once pieces of a bike.. Like monsters, trash bikes do exist 🤘🤠👍
My great-grandpa rode god wings and them mufukahs are like Cadillac bikes. They did like "hard ass" rids across the country on them. I remember seeing a shit ton of plaques for the "hard ass" rides. My moms swore by her Kawasaki, she was a die-hard and rode the piss out of it. My moms always said "it's not what you ride it's that you ride.
@Phillip Alexander i knew it was something like that. They had a basement wall covered in those plaques. They had like the winter suits, the cool helmets with microphones, fancy comfy seats. Why not ride a goldwing when you're traveling 1000 miles in 24 hrs. That's like choosing to drive a muscle car over a Cadillac when traveling across the country.
ive dusted harleys on my goldwing and ive dusted hondas on my sportster... i put over 20,000mi in a year on the sportster so i got a touring bike... vintage 82 gl1100 and shes a beast! like riding a fast couch.... just ride, if you're worried how you look or about what others think of your ride you doing it wrong!!
I got a new DCT Wing after 20 years of owning Harleys, and this new Wing has made me love riding more than ever. I wouldn't trade it for a new CVO Road Glide. Seems like 99% of people trashing Wings have never ridden one.
I used to get shit from Harley guys about my Kawasaki Vulcan. Meanwhile, it was December, 20 degrees out, and I'm on my bike while they're in their SUV. I always thought it was hilarious. Especially the time a guy trailering his Harley told me I needed to get a "real" bike. I never cared about what type of bike anyone rode, but I had more respect for guys whose bikes were on the street year round than the guys with trailer queens or the weekend warriors. A bike was all I had, so I couldn't let weather be a factor. I rode 365.
In 1996, I had a new Honda pacific coast...I rode that at least a couple times a month in the winter... Michigan...my buddy bought me breakfast if I rode my bike... ordered two breakfasts! 🤪😋👍
This might sound weird but among other things what really stood out to me for the Vulcan was the standard, factory handlebars...they were the most comfortable bars ever. I rode a friend's Vulcan 900 from Wyoming to Pennsylvania. Great ride, it had real live , big animal bawlz... but my arms felt great the whole time. Maybe that's a weird observation...but that's what stood out. Im actually looking for a similar handlebars set up.
@@jvillain9946 Exactly. Owned two Harleys. Will never own another. One was an 1980s Ironhead that vibrated so bad it was painful to ride, and a 2004 Night Train that was a leakosaurus. Never again. I'd rather be up on two Japanese wheels than waiting on that "superior" bike to get worked on at the dealer.
Gold wings are easier to repair and more reliable then a Harley. Always will be and always has been, it’s feminine to worry about what another man is driving.
"Goldwings easier to repair"? Obviously, you have never had to repair one. Goldwings are complex plumbers nightmares. You have to remove panels and the battery box just to get to the starter. The same must be done just to get the rear master cylinder out. Want to dig through all the plastic panels, hoses and airbox just to get to the carbs. The Goldwing is a bike where you almost always have to remove this that and the other thing just to get at the part you want. Compared to a Golwing, I'd work on a harley any day. Owning Harleys made that a requirement. Goldwings almost never fail. But when they do, Tylenol first, then the service manual.
Harley Davidson has a significant advantage in that they use the same engine across many models. American brands are renowned for their exceptional customer service. However, it's worth noting that reliability can vary between brands. For instance, while Can-am Spyder is not as dependable, BPR manufactures the best snowmobiles that can start even at minus 40, unlike Polaris or Yamaha.
@@Unjust1 homie you’re comparing one component of the motorcycle to the entire design and repair process. Still easier to work on and always will be more reliable then a Harley or a hardley. Hardley will get you down the road.
Man, I got some of everything. What a man or woman rides don't matter to me. I judge a man by his actions, not what he owns. Like the color of someone's skin, it don't make the person.
After 40 years of riding Harleys I'm switching to a Goldwing as I've had enough of Harley owners bragging that Harleys are the best and everything else is garbage. Guess what, they're really not.
Ride what YOU like and are comfortable on. Don’t be the guy with a 800lb Harley that rides under 1k miles a year because you’re not comfortable on it. The most un-brotherly things you can do is discourage someone for doing what they like and feel good about, but MC’s are all about being brothers and not following rules. Except riding Harleys, you can’t be their friend on a non-Harley, it’s one of their rules.
Ride what you like...if you're out there, you're out there! This was told to me by a Moto guzzi rider...I was on a hopped up 78 Honda 750! Good man, great advice!
The Honda Goldwing is the hands down undisputed KING of the touring motorcycle. And were made in the USA till 2011 when harleys wete being and are still made in China and assembled here. A stock goldwing will leave a stock road king in the dust wings are faster built better and 1000 times more reliable than any harley. FACTS. MY first road bike was a 1941 45" WLA and i rode it for 10 years almost everyday ans it would make me piss blood, rattle itself apart and leave me constantly wrenching on the side of the road and i loved it. Until i got a 1981 goldwing 1100 and i sold the old Harley and never looked back. I own 3 goldwings no😮w and 100% There is a standard. And the Honda goldwing is at the top of the list, it's Above the standard. Ride one and find out how bad your bike is. FACTS.
when I go out to the garage I have 6 motorcycles to choose from. I can afford what ever I want. two of them are Gold Wing's. one has 182 thousand miles . spark plugs. Air filter. oil change. runs as good as new. key board tuff guys. hit me up let's ride.
Spending 30-40k on a Harley is not working on yourself. For one it says you have one brain cell. Who in their right mind buys a motorcycle for that much, is outdated, unreliable, and overall under performing. Yamaha, Suzuki, Indian, Honda, Triumph all have bikes that are half that price and put every single motorcycle that Harley Davidson has to offer to shame. Only motorcycle that is in par and should’ve remained in production is their Vrod. Only motorcycle with an engine that ment something and designed by porche.
I ride Harley's for 20 years, and loved them all. But chose to switch to my 2020 DCT Tour wing for better reliability, no heat issue, lighter and lower balance of weight, the DCT transmission, it's comfort and technology, and it's lower cost of ownership. Sure, I miss my Harley at times, the community, and the image , but age, health, and finances sometimes force us to make hard decisions to keep your knees in the breeze. To each their own, I treat all biker's as a brother and will help anyone in need.
You are in a minority of ex hardly riders then. Around here they are all snobs and say you cant afford a hardly if you have something else. I simply reply " I live to ride not repair my bike constantly" I ride a 2008 goldwing
Right on much! Much love, gold wing is not me, but I know guys that would ride circles around most harley owners.. person friend is on his second, bought used, and has added almost 100 k in miles… I call it the starship enterprise, but we need to stop “bullying/attacking “ teach and just be happy they are on 2 wheels-!!!!
It's not that hard to respect other people's rides. That dude on the goldwing probably puts in 10x more miles than anyone who's talking trash about his bike.
Some people just got to have a reason to hate on someone else. Sadly, they’re everywhere, in every walk of life, every community and every culture. What gets my dander up is when those same people try to preach inclusion and acceptance to others; that’s hypocrisy and the very worst kind of lie!
It doesn't matter what you ride, as long as your knees are in the breeze, you're doing the same thing as I am. Style is different, but action is the same.
I love my Yamaha royal star venture. I ride it to where ever I want. It’s the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden it’s paid for. It didn’t break my budget and it goes where I want as fast as I want.
Thirty-six years ago, I wanted my first bike to be a Harley Davidson. I had saved up for a few years and was going to pay cash. I went to the shop with my dad, and waited. No service. They were pretty much empty except two customers. The sales reps just ignored us. As I waited, I looked around and on a wall saw a poster of a garbage dump with a pile of Japanese motorcycles and the caption read, "You'll never find a Harley Davidson here." It really left me feeling like Harley riders are racists. Me and my dad are Taiwanese American. We love the US. But this was back in the late 80s when the US economy was in recession and US automakers were not doing well and Japan bashing was big. Yeah, HDs are beautiful. But I will never buy one.
Real bikers don’t care what others think about their ride. I’ve ridden all the major brands, and I currently ride a Goldwing. If people have an issue with it, that’s their problem.
I always thought the riding world was much more of a "as long as you ride, you're good" mentality. I come from the car world and most everyone finds a way to be a dick to each other. Chevy guys don't like Ford guys don't like Mopar guys. Muscle car guys don't like ricers. Exotics don't like muscle cars. 4x4 guys don't like mini-trucks. FFS...just be into the fact that someone else is into what they're doing and not looking at their bike, car, or whatever as "it gets me from Point A to Point B and that's all I care about". jeez
To each their own! I love motorcycles. Each has it own unique characteristics, like the person riding it! We don’t need division, we ride, that is our commonality.
Back in the day growing up in my neighborhood one of my neighbors was a biker within a group of bikers when they would gather every now and then I learned something about these guys... alot of them were lawyers, doctors, very prestigious and honorable occupations and some of the nicest people you could ever meet you carry that tradition forward it seems I thought it was a tradition now long gone having come across your video I see it's still strong and well hats off to you.
They’re not the fastest, most reliable, most fuel efficient, most comfortable. They’re not the best at anything except for having an amazing aftermarket catalog. That being said I own one lol but let’s be realistic here lol
Harley is simply an expensive status symbol and a brand. Honda will go anywhere a Harley will go, for that matter any bike will go anywhere a Harley will go. It's just a brand people, it don't make you better than a guy that rides a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or even a moped. Ride what you like, you don't need to honor anyone's " brand name".
I have been a honda guy since my motorcross days. Made send when I hit the streets I keep with the brand I know and trust. I love the HD's. and Indians, and EVERY motorcycle. If your on 2 wheels your my brother or my sister and I will support you, help you, stop for you if your in trouble. And i hope you do the same for me. I got a flat tire once on a 2000 mile trip. I was on the side of the road plugging it when 3 HD guys stopped and asked me if I needed help. I shook there hand and told them I was grateful for the assist and if they could just watch the traffic while I plugged it that would be awesome. We rode about 17 miles together till i had to turn onto another route. I've done the same many times (plug tires, offering tools) to rides I see when I am out that something happened to. My GW has over 80K on it and still going strong. It's a great bike for me, or me and the wife to take multi day/state trips. Love what you do Sose.
You know how you feel sose, we have the same kinda feeling. I used to ride with a few clubs that were strickly american bikes. I ride harleys now. Im an old rider and i got outa the whole thing, we all all bros, i wish we could all ride together. If you love a goldwing or a britsh bikes. Be happy with it, i love to ride. As long as your cool and follow the pack ,who cares what ya ride. To much drama and polatics.. we all should stand together. I started riding a honda z 50. Back in the day, thats what got me riding bikes. I like to help all brothers. We need to stick together for the love of 2 wheels👍 👍✌️🤘💯☠️. Much love and RESPECT to all!!! Be safe bros. Thanks sose. Your a good man bro.
I'm no biker I'm from Oakland California always respecting bikers I would never pass them in the car I respect your Concepts in life you know what you're talking about now because I was listening so I don't listen too well to people but when I do it hits me and you concept hit me bro thanks I appreciate that. And I'm noticed you don't curse too much man which is kind of extra cool
Love my Goldwing. 26” front tire. Dark side tire in the rear, custom speakers. All I need to do now is fabricate a holder for my iPad to mount on my bike and I’m straight. Awesome on cross country trips.
Ride what you ride. My favorite bagger I have is a 90 kz1000p retired police bike just because you don't see them everyday. I've got all kinds of bikes from a ct70, Chinese 250 Enduro, xt250, kdx200, 636, the KZ1000p, Xr650r sumo, a Iron 883 with the 1250 kit and a 03 cvo road king with a cammed 103. I love all my bikes that's why they didn't get flipped. All of them were once garage dust collectors or tarp queens. Now all have life's breath back in them.
Big homie Sose, I've been on a ninja, I've been on a sporty, I'm now on a honda vtx, the wind feels good af on any of them, I don't knock what another rides, gw's ain't my bag but that don't mean it's not a good tourer which by all means the wings are some of the best touring bikes out. I ride with a group of damn near all hd's and they all compliment my old metric. It's all love for all my brothers and sisters on 2s
I love riding my Yamaha V star. I have rode Harleys but I like Yamaha. But nothing is wrong with any bike. I have a lot of friends with all kind of bikes. Love your page. Thank you.
I currently have a 96 Yamaha Virago 1100 and a 2021 HD Ultra Limited. I'm not getting rid of the Virago because it's not HD. Ride what you like. Live the best life you can. Stay safe!!!
You're right I started with the 1993 Suzuki intruder. Now I have a Harley I had so much fun with that bike it was my first ever. I wouldn't let anyone down talk my intruder.
2’s is 2’s. I don’t discriminate. I trust you more than I trust any cager, I ride Harleys and that’s my preference. But I don’t dog on anyone who rides.
I ride a Harley and a Yamaha Bolt and a Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter. I love them all. I feel great when I'm riding. Riding gives you a preview of the afterlife.
Two wheels is two wheels. Respect to the threes who are doing it cos they can't do twos. We are a family, look after each other. Anyone who doesn't is being a jerk.
I don’t hold it against other riders for what they ride. I started out on dirt bikes as a kid and road some badass rice burners! It wasn’t until later in life that I had the opportunity to buy a HD. I now ride a 07 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I have a 91 Electra Glide sport as a backup bike in case a friend needs a ride. I bought two of my grandsons 08 sportsters. Right now I’m splitting my time between Tecumseh Oklahoma and Daytona Beach Florida. The 07 is in Fl and the 91 is in Ok. I was just in Oklahoma and rode the 91 with a grandson on his sporty. The only people I have a problem with are those who don’t return a wave. Seems BMW riders never wave . The one thing we all have in common is getting in the wind! Two wheels or my brothers on trikes, are all good with me!
i own 3 Harleys but i love motorcycles in general im just accustom to riding to riding Harleys. ride what u love and enjoy yourself i just love seeing people riding
I agree with on that as long as you’re riding and happy who cares it’s not anyone’s right to cut down another man for what he likes and is comfortable riding
In a club. If he/she likes their ride, let them be! I've owned Harley, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda and Triumph. Various stages of live, occupation (USMC), and finicial stability determined what I rode. Everything from dirt bikes to a Ultra Limited. 72 now & still going. First "big" bike I rode was my Dad's 34 Harley. Week later bought a 59 sportster.
I can remember when the Japanese motorcycle companies first broke into the cruiser bike scene to go head to head with Harley. One of my coworkers sold his Harley to buy a Roadstar Yamaha. He road it to work the first week and someone told he better run out and check on it because it had a fuel leak and might catch fire. Someone had bought about 10 pounds of rice and poured a trail from his bike all the way out the gate at work it was all in fun and he got grilled pretty good for being one of the first of our crew to by a Jap bike. Later on a lot of guys I work with bought them. They were good bikes.
One ride I was on: Descending a twisty mountain road. One rider was on a Goldwing. He was COASTING, engine off, blasting past sportsbikers like they were standing still. It's not the bike, it's the rider. Want to ride ? Do so. Your bike, your ride.
Freedom to feel the wind riding anything is a personal thing. A female at 63 and tore up knees im on my 3 to keep that freedom flowing. I find myself in a Harley shop occasionally but can't do 2 no more. =)
Hey Sose, it's up to you to ride what you like. If a club says you have to ride a Harley with them, that's fine. A Gold Wing club may want you to have a Gold Wing. I had a Gold Wing for a short time which was too heavy for me as I am older. I have a Dyna ( I've most stayed with Harleys) now that fits me perfectly. If you're out riding and someone on two's needs help, it doesn't matter what they're riding. You help them anyways. That 'Wing rider may help you someday. My girlfriend rides a Suzuki S40, we enjoy the whole experience..... Queasy
I used to think baggers like Street Glides or Road Kings were old people bikes. Until I got a little older and tried one out. After that I was like “ok, I get it now”. I ended up getting a Road Glide. I always seen a Goldwing as someone retirement bike. I’m not going to knock them for it. The nicest Goldwing I seen was a stripper down Goldwing and was shock by how nice it looked.
I just ride man! My current bike is a yamaha vstar 650 for daily commuting. This thing friggin rocks. I'm not doing 90 on a freeway with it but its light , nimble and great for 30 mile daily commutes and weekend fun run's with the old lady. I could care less what a weekend warrior with a harley in his garage says, especially when he's leaving the dealership with brand new gear that will get worn once in awhile on Saturday when the sun is out, its over 70 degrees and DEFINATELY no rain....... I ride, you ride, doesnt matter what we ride!!
This 2018+ Honda Gold Wing is a premium performance touring bike right out of the box with no engine updates required. If you happen to flash-tune the engine then you will really have a beast on your hands. I know because I tuned the limiters off of mine. It will do 130mph uphill, 140 on level ground, and 150 downhill with no wind. This is just me with no passenger or luggage. The Gold Wing is not the bike to disrespect or underestimate because you could definitely embarrass yourself.
Sose, i follow you about 2 weeks now... Got hoocked up with your content, it seems legit, is a lot of stuff i always wanted to know. Since imma harley lover. Like seriously. I only like bikes due harleys, other way imma car lover. But gotta be americans, nothing asian. Thats MINE prefference, however i respect every vehicle. Just 1 thing to tell you my friend. Here in south america is kind of impossible to buy a harley. People like me with an average salary... Will never get a harley. Its only a good dream... I should give up my entire income for about 35 months, and i wont even get a brand new one. Probably 10 years old. Hope this worth for yall to realize how different is living here or there or elsewere. Im thankful anyways i got a 20yo vw car i can drive, and keeps me away of public bus. 😂🤝
Agreeing with you as usual, Ghost. I get that there are Harley Clubs, but there's other clubs, too. Like Digital Underground said years ago, "Do Whatcxha Like!"
#GHOSTIN : engineering wise the gold wing or any other Honda are top notch & I ain’t gonna trash talk on anyone’s ride, period. Keep them fists in the wind & keep ghostin

The wind feels the same no matter what you ride
It actually doesn’t tho lol
Most people don't feel the wind anymore. Big ole baggers with windscreens all way round
I own 3 harley also own 30 other bikes atv and trikes the wind definitely feels different but they all feel great.
Yeah…it literally doesn’t. Nobody can say the gold wing is trash, because it’s not, but it’s basically just a car on two wheels. Not really a bike lol. It’s like, tell me you don’t really want to ride a bike without telling me you don’t really want to ride a bike.

Don't knock it till you try it... both harley and goldwing...
As long as you're sitting on twos. That's all that matters.
Not even that if you are riding a trike as well, riding is riding.
The engineering behind a Honda GW is superior in every way to a Harley. Facts.
When he mentioned Harley and excellence in the same sentence, legit lol’d. Most of them are honestly terrible bikes.
I ride a 2021 cbr1000rr, though, so I’m a little biased. 😂
It'd be difficult to argue with this
Harley are trash now! 60% of they parts are Chinese parts the other 10% are from mexico 😂😂😂😂
soo sad!! Want to talk about real AMERICAN BIKE
Victoria or indian
For sure
I'm not into trashing another man's ride. I'm not in a club so I don't care. Whatever they like to ride.
Imagine riding a bike to be free to only be made fun of for being free
Yea the motorcycle community is as toxic as the rest of the world 🎉

Great mom!
I personally love Honda goldwings! I had a GL1100 Interstate, and I rode that bike everywhere. Good, dependable bike.
I learned on an ‘82 GL1100. Wish I still had that bike!
Rode an 1100 Wing for 12 years. Great bike. Paid $800 for it and sold for $300. Riding a GL1200 now.
I love my 83 aspencade 1100
My old man has always said it doesn't matter what you ride, it's that you ride.
ive dusted harleys on my goldwing and ive dusted hondas on my sportster... i put over 20,000mi in a year on the sportster so i got a touring bike... vintage 82 gl1100 and shes a beast! like riding a fast couch....
just ride, if you're worried how you look or about what others think of your ride you doing it wrong!!

Get a real bike... that you have to haul everywhere because it can't hold oil and breaks down every couple miles.

@@jvillain9946 Exactly. Owned two Harleys. Will never own another. One was an 1980s Ironhead that vibrated so bad it was painful to ride, and a 2004 Night Train that was a leakosaurus. Never again. I'd rather be up on two Japanese wheels than waiting on that "superior" bike to get worked on at the dealer.
Ride what you like and are comfortable with. I got a concourse, Softail breakout, zx14 and victory cross country... Because they're comfortable
Gold wings are easier to repair and more reliable then a Harley. Always will be and always has been, it’s feminine to worry about what another man is driving.
"Goldwings easier to repair"? Obviously, you have never had to repair one. Goldwings are complex plumbers nightmares. You have to remove panels and the battery box just to get to the starter. The same must be done just to get the rear master cylinder out. Want to dig through all the plastic panels, hoses and airbox just to get to the carbs. The Goldwing is a bike where you almost always have to remove this that and the other thing just to get at the part you want. Compared to a Golwing, I'd work on a harley any day. Owning Harleys made that a requirement. Goldwings almost never fail. But when they do, Tylenol first, then the service manual.
Harley Davidson has a significant advantage in that they use the same engine across many models. American brands are renowned for their exceptional customer service. However, it's worth noting that reliability can vary between brands. For instance, while Can-am Spyder is not as dependable, BPR manufactures the best snowmobiles that can start even at minus 40, unlike Polaris or Yamaha.
Do you have a sound system on your bike Sose?
@@Unjust1 homie you’re comparing one component of the motorcycle to the entire design and repair process. Still easier to work on and always will be more reliable then a Harley or a hardley. Hardley will get you down the road.
But not always back to where you started.
Man, I got some of everything. What a man or woman rides don't matter to me. I judge a man by his actions, not what he owns. Like the color of someone's skin, it don't make the person.
Ostrich or emu riders are far too weird for me 🤘🤠👍
After 40 years of riding Harleys I'm switching to a Goldwing as I've had enough of Harley owners bragging that Harleys are the best and everything else is garbage. Guess what, they're really not.
Oh the best part is the Harley guys telling you how badass their bike is and when you ask to see it, it's in the shop.
Ride what YOU like and are comfortable on. Don’t be the guy with a 800lb Harley that rides under 1k miles a year because you’re not comfortable on it. The most un-brotherly things you can do is discourage someone for doing what they like and feel good about, but MC’s are all about being brothers and not following rules. Except riding Harleys, you can’t be their friend on a non-Harley, it’s one of their rules.
Ride what you like...if you're out there, you're out there! This was told to me by a Moto guzzi rider...I was on a hopped up 78 Honda 750! Good man, great advice!
People blend bike culture with harley culture, and that shouldnt be!
AMÉN
Im 51, never rode a motorcycle on pavement. Body already ruined before I got a chance to ride. Don’t take it for granted. Riding on 2 is a gift.
Those Hardly owners were just jelly that a GW can go 100k with no major breakdowns and some have 100-500k miles on them.
The Honda Goldwing is the hands down undisputed KING of the touring motorcycle. And were made in the USA till 2011 when harleys wete being and are still made in China and assembled here. A stock goldwing will leave a stock road king in the dust wings are faster built better and 1000 times more reliable than any harley. FACTS. MY first road bike was a 1941 45" WLA and i rode it for 10 years almost everyday ans it would make me piss blood, rattle itself apart and leave me constantly wrenching on the side of the road and i loved it. Until i got a 1981 goldwing 1100 and i sold the old Harley and never looked back. I own 3 goldwings no😮w and 100% There is a standard. And the Honda goldwing is at the top of the list, it's Above the standard. Ride one and find out how bad your bike is. FACTS.
when I go out to the garage I have 6 motorcycles to choose from. I can afford what ever I want. two of them are Gold Wing's. one has 182 thousand miles . spark plugs. Air filter. oil change. runs as good as new. key board tuff guys. hit me up let's ride.
I own both and I must say the New Goldwings are a Badass machine. Love my 02 Softail Standard also
Love what you ride 🤜🏽
Spending 30-40k on a Harley is not working on yourself. For one it says you have one brain cell. Who in their right mind buys a motorcycle for that much, is outdated, unreliable, and overall under performing. Yamaha, Suzuki, Indian, Honda, Triumph all have bikes that are half that price and put every single motorcycle that Harley Davidson has to offer to shame. Only motorcycle that is in par and should’ve remained in production is their Vrod. Only motorcycle with an engine that ment something and designed by porche.
I ride Harley's for 20 years, and loved them all. But chose to switch to my 2020 DCT Tour wing for better reliability, no heat issue, lighter and lower balance of weight, the DCT transmission, it's comfort and technology, and it's lower cost of ownership. Sure, I miss my Harley at times, the community, and the image , but age, health, and finances sometimes force us to make hard decisions to keep your knees in the breeze. To each their own, I treat all biker's as a brother and will help anyone in need.
You are in a minority of ex hardly riders then. Around here they are all snobs and say you cant afford a hardly if you have something else. I simply reply " I live to ride not repair my bike constantly" I ride a 2008 goldwing
Right on much!
Much love, gold wing is not me, but I know guys that would ride circles around most harley owners..
person friend is on his second, bought used, and has added almost 100 k in miles… I call it the starship enterprise, but we need to stop “bullying/attacking “ teach and just be happy they are on 2 wheels-!!!!
Completely agree
It's not that hard to respect other people's rides. That dude on the goldwing probably puts in 10x more miles than anyone who's talking trash about his bike.
Some people just got to have a reason to hate on someone else. Sadly, they’re everywhere, in every walk of life, every community and every culture. What gets my dander up is when those same people try to preach inclusion and acceptance to others; that’s hypocrisy and the very worst kind of lie!
I happen to be a harley rider by choice and I give 100% respect to any on 2s no matter what they ride
It doesn't matter what you ride, as long as your knees are in the breeze, you're doing the same thing as I am. Style is different, but action is the same.
I ride a Ruck... so there's that.
It shouldnt matter what you ride as long as you ride, this behavior only comes from Harley riders man I swear.
A rider is a rider.
That’s pathetic unless your in a club that asks u to have a certain thing just ride what ever the hell makes u happiest
Wind feels the same on my Road Glide as it does on a Gold Wing... that's my two cents...
I love my Yamaha royal star venture. I ride it to where ever I want. It’s the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden it’s paid for. It didn’t break my budget and it goes where I want as fast as I want.
Knees in da breeze man. If you're on two wheels, ill wave at yah. Plus a wing is awesome. The older ones were all made in America.
Riding is riding no matter what u ride
Jealousy and hate are two sides of the same coin. The Goldwing is a top notch motorcycle and Harley riders know it.
Thirty-six years ago, I wanted my first bike to be a Harley Davidson. I had saved up for a few years and was going to pay cash. I went to the shop with my dad, and waited. No service. They were pretty much empty except two customers. The sales reps just ignored us. As I waited, I looked around and on a wall saw a poster of a garbage dump with a pile of Japanese motorcycles and the caption read, "You'll never find a Harley Davidson here."
It really left me feeling like Harley riders are racists. Me and my dad are Taiwanese American. We love the US. But this was back in the late 80s when the US economy was in recession and US automakers were not doing well and Japan bashing was big.
Yeah, HDs are beautiful. But I will never buy one.
Real bikers don’t care what others think about their ride. I’ve ridden all the major brands, and I currently ride a Goldwing. If people have an issue with it, that’s their problem.
I always thought the riding world was much more of a "as long as you ride, you're good" mentality.
I come from the car world and most everyone finds a way to be a dick to each other. Chevy guys don't like Ford guys don't like Mopar guys. Muscle car guys don't like ricers. Exotics don't like muscle cars. 4x4 guys don't like mini-trucks.
FFS...just be into the fact that someone else is into what they're doing and not looking at their bike, car, or whatever as "it gets me from Point A to Point B and that's all I care about".
jeez
You like what you Like✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
To each their own! I love motorcycles. Each has it own unique characteristics, like the person riding it! We don’t need division, we ride, that is our commonality.
Ride what you like on 2 wheels, enjoy riding, don’t care what anybody else thinks
Back in the day growing up in my neighborhood one of my neighbors was a biker within a group of bikers when they would gather every now and then I learned something about these guys... alot of them were lawyers, doctors, very prestigious and honorable occupations and some of the nicest people you could ever meet you carry that tradition forward it seems I thought it was a tradition now long gone having come across your video I see it's still strong and well hats off to you.
Let people ride what they wanna ride….not like it’s effecting you…
They’re not the fastest, most reliable, most fuel efficient, most comfortable. They’re not the best at anything except for having an amazing aftermarket catalog. That being said I own one lol but let’s be realistic here lol
Anyone who trashes a goldwing has obviously never ridden more than 100 miles.
All about preferred bike really as long as people are riding that's what's important people gatekeeping it based on old traditions is kinda just sad
I personally am a harley person .. i dont care what other people ride!!!
Harley is simply an expensive status symbol and a brand. Honda will go anywhere a Harley will go, for that matter any bike will go anywhere a Harley will go. It's just a brand people, it don't make you better than a guy that rides a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or even a moped. Ride what you like, you don't need to honor anyone's " brand name".
I have been a honda guy since my motorcross days. Made send when I hit the streets I keep with the brand I know and trust. I love the HD's. and Indians, and EVERY motorcycle. If your on 2 wheels your my brother or my sister and I will support you, help you, stop for you if your in trouble. And i hope you do the same for me. I got a flat tire once on a 2000 mile trip. I was on the side of the road plugging it when 3 HD guys stopped and asked me if I needed help. I shook there hand and told them I was grateful for the assist and if they could just watch the traffic while I plugged it that would be awesome. We rode about 17 miles together till i had to turn onto another route. I've done the same many times (plug tires, offering tools) to rides I see when I am out that something happened to. My GW has over 80K on it and still going strong. It's a great bike for me, or me and the wife to take multi day/state trips. Love what you do Sose.
You know how you feel sose, we have the same kinda feeling. I used to ride with a few clubs that were strickly american bikes. I ride harleys now. Im an old rider and i got outa the whole thing, we all all bros, i wish we could all ride together. If you love a goldwing or a britsh bikes. Be happy with it, i love to ride. As long as your cool and follow the pack ,who cares what ya ride. To much drama and polatics.. we all should stand together.
I started riding a honda z 50. Back in the day, thats what got me riding bikes. I like to help all brothers. We need to stick together for the love of 2 wheels👍
👍✌️🤘💯☠️. Much love and RESPECT to all!!! Be safe bros. Thanks sose. Your a good man bro.
I'm no biker I'm from Oakland California always respecting bikers I would never pass them in the car I respect your Concepts in life you know what you're talking about now because I was listening so I don't listen too well to people but when I do it hits me and you concept hit me bro thanks I appreciate that. And I'm noticed you don't curse too much man which is kind of extra cool
I think the most important thing is that people ride. This mindset that if you don’t ride a certain bike, this is very closed minded.
I make fun of them however it's more than swings at the park. You on two's. Be Safe and Have Fun.
#Ghostin
Ride what you love ! I've had a 77 springer, a 750 GSXR and a 1000 FZR. Liked every bike !!!!
Love my Goldwing. 26” front tire. Dark side tire in the rear, custom speakers. All I need to do now is fabricate a holder for my iPad to mount on my bike and I’m straight. Awesome on cross country trips.
If you ride, you ride 💯!
Ride what you ride. My favorite bagger I have is a 90 kz1000p retired police bike just because you don't see them everyday. I've got all kinds of bikes from a ct70, Chinese 250 Enduro, xt250, kdx200, 636, the KZ1000p, Xr650r sumo, a Iron 883 with the 1250 kit and a 03 cvo road king with a cammed 103. I love all my bikes that's why they didn't get flipped. All of them were once garage dust collectors or tarp queens. Now all have life's breath back in them.
Big homie Sose, I've been on a ninja, I've been on a sporty, I'm now on a honda vtx, the wind feels good af on any of them, I don't knock what another rides, gw's ain't my bag but that don't mean it's not a good tourer which by all means the wings are some of the best touring bikes out. I ride with a group of damn near all hd's and they all compliment my old metric. It's all love for all my brothers and sisters on 2s
I love riding my Yamaha V star. I have rode Harleys but I like Yamaha. But nothing is wrong with any bike. I have a lot of friends with all kind of bikes. Love your page. Thank you.
I currently have a 96 Yamaha Virago 1100 and a 2021 HD Ultra Limited. I'm not getting rid of the Virago because it's not HD. Ride what you like. Live the best life you can. Stay safe!!!
You're right I started with the 1993 Suzuki intruder. Now I have a Harley I had so much fun with that bike it was my first ever. I wouldn't let anyone down talk my intruder.
I ride a Harley myself. My opinion is it's not what you ride it's that you ride. And show pride in your ride. 🥶Ghosting up north MN 🥶
2’s is 2’s. I don’t discriminate. I trust you more than I trust any cager, I ride Harleys and that’s my preference. But I don’t dog on anyone who rides.
I ride a Harley and a Yamaha Bolt and a Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter. I love them all. I feel great when I'm riding. Riding gives you a preview of the afterlife.
I look at it this way if you're not having fun doin what you love on or in whatever vehicle you have are you really having fun
Two wheels is two wheels. Respect to the threes who are doing it cos they can't do twos. We are a family, look after each other. Anyone who doesn't is being a jerk.
Goldwings are great bikes. They spend their time on the road and not in the shop.
I don’t hold it against other riders for what they ride. I started out on dirt bikes as a kid and road some badass rice burners! It wasn’t until later in life that I had the opportunity to buy a HD. I now ride a 07 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I have a 91 Electra Glide sport as a backup bike in case a friend needs a ride. I bought two of my grandsons 08 sportsters. Right now I’m splitting my time between Tecumseh Oklahoma and Daytona Beach Florida. The 07 is in Fl and the 91 is in Ok. I was just in Oklahoma and rode the 91 with a grandson on his sporty. The only people I have a problem with are those who don’t return a wave. Seems BMW riders never wave . The one thing we all have in common is getting in the wind! Two wheels or my brothers on trikes, are all good with me!
i own 3 Harleys but i love motorcycles in general im just accustom to riding to riding Harleys. ride what u love and enjoy yourself i just love seeing people riding
I agree with on that as long as you’re riding and happy who cares it’s not anyone’s right to cut down another man for what he likes and is comfortable riding
In a club. If he/she likes their ride, let them be! I've owned Harley, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda and Triumph. Various stages of live, occupation (USMC), and finicial stability determined what I rode. Everything from dirt bikes to a Ultra Limited. 72 now & still going. First "big" bike I rode was my Dad's 34 Harley. Week later bought a 59 sportster.
I can remember when the Japanese motorcycle companies first broke into the cruiser bike scene to go head to head with Harley. One of my coworkers sold his Harley to buy a Roadstar Yamaha. He road it to work the first week and someone told he better run out and check on it because it had a fuel leak and might catch fire. Someone had bought about 10 pounds of rice and poured a trail from his bike all the way out the gate at work it was all in fun and he got grilled pretty good for being one of the first of our crew to by a Jap bike. Later on a lot of guys I work with bought them. They were good bikes.
One ride I was on: Descending a twisty mountain road. One rider was on a Goldwing. He was COASTING, engine off, blasting past sportsbikers like they were standing still. It's not the bike, it's the rider. Want to ride ? Do so. Your bike, your ride.
There’s a young man that said “ride more politic less” very wise. Let’s just ride
Freedom to feel the wind riding anything is a personal thing.
A female at 63 and tore up knees im on my 3 to keep that freedom flowing.
I find myself in a Harley shop occasionally but can't do 2 no more.
=)
Hey Sose, it's up to you to ride what you like. If a club says you have to ride a Harley with them, that's fine. A Gold Wing club may want you to have a Gold Wing. I had a Gold Wing for a short time which was too heavy for me as I am older. I have a Dyna ( I've most stayed with Harleys) now that fits me perfectly. If you're out riding and someone on two's needs help, it doesn't matter what they're riding. You help them anyways. That 'Wing rider may help you someday. My girlfriend rides a Suzuki S40, we enjoy the whole experience..... Queasy
I used to think baggers like Street Glides or Road Kings were old people bikes. Until I got a little older and tried one out. After that I was like “ok, I get it now”. I ended up getting a Road Glide.
I always seen a Goldwing as someone retirement bike. I’m not going to knock them for it. The nicest Goldwing I seen was a stripper down Goldwing and was shock by how nice it looked.
I'm just learning to ride. But, the old timer teaching me about bike told me, "It aint about what you ride, only that you ride." Peace man!
I work at motorcycle shop and hate working on the old ones but theirs a 94 for sale rn with 82k miles and still goin!
I just ride man! My current bike is a yamaha vstar 650 for daily commuting. This thing friggin rocks. I'm not doing 90 on a freeway with it but its light , nimble and great for 30 mile daily commutes and weekend fun run's with the old lady. I could care less what a weekend warrior with a harley in his garage says, especially when he's leaving the dealership with brand new gear that will get worn once in awhile on Saturday when the sun is out, its over 70 degrees and DEFINATELY no rain....... I ride, you ride, doesnt matter what we ride!!
I like the mental side of it what he said. Rock'n the 02 "hand me down" FLHR 🔥 85k on the clock, still roll'n the block. 💪
It’s so juvenile to fuck with someone on what they ride. I don’t care if you’re on a moped I’m glad to see you out. 🤘🏻
motorcycles are so emotional and specific to one's needs. What I love is not matter what the ride, we all have something in common no matter the ride!
This 2018+ Honda Gold Wing is a premium performance touring bike right out of the box with no engine updates required. If you happen to flash-tune the engine then you will really have a beast on your hands. I know because I tuned the limiters off of mine. It will do 130mph uphill, 140 on level ground, and 150 downhill with no wind. This is just me with no passenger or luggage. The Gold Wing is not the bike to disrespect or underestimate because you could definitely embarrass yourself.
Sose, i follow you about 2 weeks now... Got hoocked up with your content, it seems legit, is a lot of stuff i always wanted to know. Since imma harley lover. Like seriously. I only like bikes due harleys, other way imma car lover. But gotta be americans, nothing asian. Thats MINE prefference, however i respect every vehicle.
Just 1 thing to tell you my friend. Here in south america is kind of impossible to buy a harley. People like me with an average salary... Will never get a harley. Its only a good dream... I should give up my entire income for about 35 months, and i wont even get a brand new one. Probably 10 years old. Hope this worth for yall to realize how different is living here or there or elsewere. Im thankful anyways i got a 20yo vw car i can drive, and keeps me away of public bus. 😂🤝
Agreeing with you as usual, Ghost. I get that there are Harley Clubs, but there's other clubs, too. Like Digital Underground said years ago, "Do Whatcxha Like!"
Ride what you love!!! It's all about being In The Wind!!!
My brother Ronnie had one for years and he loved it
#GHOSTIN : engineering wise the gold wing or any other Honda are top notch & I ain’t gonna trash talk on anyone’s ride, period. Keep them fists in the wind & keep ghostin
The goldwing is my dream bike, it's so big and roomy with comfy seats!
