    I think a Goldwing is the smoothest most comfortable ride I've ever experienced.

    Nice Road King man! You can't beat a free Goldwing either.

    I've owned Goldwings '76, '85. '95, a '97 that I triked, and currently I'm on my last, a 2007 that I've triked. Surprised it started! a gallon of premium fuel along with a can of Seafoam and run ithat thru it. One more thing before you get away from home, is the rubber timing belts, one for each side. Those are interference engine, timing belts are good for about 1000 miles, or 10 years sitting. Good luck, the wife and I have had a blast on ours, even have a small pop-up camper that we use.

    Ooooh! That’s awesome!! We did the same thing 12 years ago. We traded our Yamaha trike for a 2011 Road King Classic, too. We just love it! It’s so comfy. I’ve put 65,000 miles on it over the last 12 years. I’m really happy for you and Linda!!

    I hope you changed the timing belt. It's better to go with a known good belt. They do have a shelf life and service limit time. Also, care should be taken if you have to change out the starter on a 1000 and 1200 Goldwing, you can drop a starter gear inside the engine.

    Wow Rick, what a Smoking Cool Bike. (Hog??) Oh how I wish I could get up the nerve to be a Real Biker type of guy, but too many injuries has kept me away from taking the plunge. However, I am still going to get that new Honda Trail bike or maybe the Yamaha that you recently acquired, but either way indeed I want one for off-road pursuits. Geez, you and Linda are so lucky to be gifted this four cylinder gem, how Cool is that. Maybe one day soon, we will see you both in Full Leather Duds and motorcycle boots to go Screaming Down the Highway. Ya, That's It. Y'all Never Stop and continue & amaze & inspire us. Fantastic.

    So enjoyed this update! I grew up in a motorcycle family, but in a city that didn't require a driver's license (not for ID, and public transportation was fabulous). Always imagined a someday-I'll-have-a-motorcycle future. But playing with riding in my late thirties made me see it wasn't for me. But I still LOVE watching! Thanks for another way I can live vicariously through Rick and Linda!

    Thanks for testing out the anti rattle hitch for us. I have been wondering if it was working out. I need that for my Chevy Traverse. The hitch noise is driving me crazy! On another note... be careful with that old Goldwing. Those tires may look good but could be rotten and blow out any time without warning. You only have two tires, Rick. Be careful.

    Great choice on the Harley , Rick. I see a beautiful 2003 100th Anniversary bike . I bought a silver and Black 2003 Electroglide new and rode it 80K miles all ove the country. Best bike I ever had. It reminded me of a P 51 Mustang my late brother and I loved. Ride Safe , Rick and Linda. The roads are more crowded than ever and remember in our old days of riding there were no cell phone texters.

    SO any thoughts; You can name the GW "Kitten". I had a good friend in high school who used his GW like an enduro; dirt, mud, whatever. About that time , still in high school, I spent my life savings on an old Harley for $175! Spent a summer fixing it up then accidentaly wrapped it around a phone pole. Love watching Y'all, you're blessed. Mahalo nui, Aloha. FYI, I was at Hickam AFB on Oahu in '69, 3 years there. Bellows AFB had the best body surfing waves on the island, only military had access as i recall.

    I have a 97 Herley Roadking I bought in 1998, it had 5000 miles on it when i bought it, love that bike, it had=s the fiberglass bags mine is an FLHR yours is the Classic version not sure of year model, mine is the EVO engine with Carburetors, they added fuel injection in '98 and you could get either way in 1998. Then in 2000 I believe they changed from the Evo engine to the twin cam, I rode that until 2015 and due to a rather severe back problem I bought a Harley Trike mine is the Triglide version the big nice one, I sure like my Roadking better than the trike, that is because of the ride and handling of the two wheels over the three wheels I still have my Roadking but also my back problems, I just called a friend to tell him to come see me and I am giving my Roadking to him to fix up and sell to use the money for a startup college fund for his new Granddaughter, my son not interested in it and I do not have any grandkids so if he gets 1500-4000 for it it will be a good start as she is only 3 months old and he's been a good friend

Currently have 2022 Triumph Bonneville T120 and 2024 Honda Transalp. I try to alternate riding them but I think I favor the T120 for local rides and definitely take the Honda for longer trips.😎🍻

    Agree the Citymons hitch (just received mine) looks 1st class. However, after ordering for $69 and then later on they demand additional $15 via a "Required Survey" or you won't receive it is just not an acceptable business practice for me. Cannot recommend doing business with a company that sells you something and then, later when you enquire why you didn't receive it, demands $15 more to actually receive it.

    Nice Harley. But I assume you will still ride the Goldwing too?
    I was given a basket case 1976 Goldwing a few years ago. Got it running right away and have been having a blast with it. I know that at least one other commenter mentioned changing the timing belts (two of them). But I want to emphasize that you really do need to change those belts because if one lets go, it destroys the whole engine. In fact, they recommend changing the belts every five years or so. Don’t be tempted to use a used one. You can get the belts at Napa for a whole lot cheaper than the dealer. I’m pretty sure that the belts are the same on the 76 and the 78 but you might want to check.
    Here are some numbers for parts you might want:
    Timing belts =
    Gates #T274; (or maybe it was #1274)
    NAPA #250274;
    Goodyear Gatorback #40274 (available at AutoZone and others).
    Radiator hoses =
    NAPA #7733;
    Gates #21008;
    Carquest #21029 (made by Gates - one hose does both upper and lower)
    Oil filter =
    Fram #CH6009;
    Purolator #ML16809;
    EMGO #10-37500
    Turn signal flasher =
    Stant #552;
    NAPA #552;
    Federal Mogul #552 (most 12 V, two wire standard flashers will work).
    Happy Biking!

    • @gonagain

      Thanks for the information! I've changed most everything, including the belts, fuel lines, etc. Rebuilt the carburetors, replaced the head gaskets, rebuilt the rear brakes, replaced the seat cover and I don't remember what else, but it's running smooth now. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it, due to lack of room in my garage, but it's the most fun to ride for sure! It still needs new tires and the front forks repaired or realigned. $$$

    Poor old Honda, Letting it sit for months or years is one of the worst things to do with any engine. It may no longer be reliable or worth keeping. I have never understood people who let things sit for years when they should be passed on to someone who will use them right away. I have friends who are pack rats and let things rust away, very sad.
    Good luck with the Harley. In my experience with friends who owned them, they spent more time fixing than riding. Maybe I was just spoiled by my Honda's.
    When driving around in WWII England on the weekends you would see many guys with the hoods up on their cars, they said they loved anything that had an adjustment screw, and one of the reasons that today nothing is adjustable, lol.
    When I worked for GM the federal government (EPA) wanted us to design parts to fit only one way without any adjustments to stop the customer from being able to do anything that would cause the engine to be out of emissions specs. Have fun with your new projects.
